In the twenty-second century long-distance space travel has been mastered. Humans have colonized many planets. The last Christians have left earth and settled on a planet they call Mayflower. They purchased the planet from one of the corporate states that owns the Earth and its colonies. They were told that the planet was uninhabited. It was not.
	Travel to the planet takes many years and return travel is not practical. Mayflower, the planet, circles a dim star but it does not rotate. One side, where the settlers have established their towns has a permanent gloomy daylight. The other side of the planet is dark and cold yet not devoid of life as warmth seeps through the planet. 
	The first generation of humans born on Mayflower has grown up. They are facing many challenges to survive and establish a world free of the old-Earth.

Long ago, on a normal Thursday, the world went dark. Power grids went down. Electricity shut off. The internet fizzled into nothing. Planes dropped from the sky. People died. One hundred years later the surviving humans live amongst the junk left over from Black Out Thursday. Cars are rusting. Cities lay abandoned. Cell phones, computers, and other machines are worthless to most, except to a few… Clara Danvers is a conduit, a person with the ability to Wake the junk from humanity's past by infusing the sleeping machines with Nites. Fearing the people who do not understand her abilities, Clara and other conduits live their lives in hiding. Most conduits tend to brave the crumbling metropolitan ruins of old, scraping to gather a living for eccentrics who will pay well for antiques from the world's past. They scavenge junk, repair junk, sell junk, and Wake junk in the back allies and dark basements of the lightless communities of tomorrow. Until the day one a conduit goes missing… From a young age conduits are taught to fear those people who don't understand them, to keep vigil, or the road pirates called the Junkers will get them in the night! Braver than most, these bedtime cautionary tales never scared Clara, until the day a friend's family is murdered and that friend's conduit brother disappears. Now Clara must find the people that took her friend's brother. She must do this quickly, because the Junkers are coming for her next… "Conduits" is updated every Tuesday. Check back for new chapters! Thanks for reading! The "Conduits" cover art was created by wonderfully talented Eleanor Ferron. Check out her portfolio by visiting her website at http://eferron.daportfolio.com/.

The big city can be a dangerous place for anyone, but for someone new to its dangers, it can be deadly. Recently escaped from the people that created her, Six is on the run, out in the world for the first time in her short life. Stalked by a team of the best trackers on the planet, she knows her odds of escape are slim at best. Yet these men are not her most pressing concern. Not when the planet that she was born into is no longer controlled by humans. When every person on the planet lives under the shadow of a race none can defeat. Where your only option is bow the knee, or die.
