The end of the world is near. Its shadow nears each day, ready to drag everything into its waking nightmare. No one is safe. Not even the seven protagonists who find themselves bound together by a strange circumstance. Some are lifelong friends. Others are strangers-one even to herself. Each carries a past; their own story. Some harbor secrets. As the infected spread and society collapses, the group struggles against an apocalypse that feels increasingly strange. Even questioning the nature of their union-too coincidental, almost predetermined. As if an unseen hand had arranged their meeting long before they ever crossed paths. Coincidence...or fate? Whatever the truth is, they will have to learn to trust one another and set aside their differences if they want to survive. Even when survival demands things they never thought themselves capable of doing. π’œπ“‚π‘œπ“ƒπ‘” 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓂, 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒 π’Ύπ“ˆ 𝒢 𝑔𝒾𝓇𝓁... Who once danced with death in a distant, fog-laced memory. After a tragic accident left her scarred in ways both physical and unseen, she wakes to her reality that feels wrong. Navigating her life with fractured memories is no easy feat. To make matters worse, she can no longer distinguish where reality ends and hallucination begins-the line between them thinning to a thread. That's not all-there's something else. A dark entity, tethered to her alone. No one else can see it or hear it. But it is always there-at her side, in the shadows, and in the deepest recesses of her mind. She cannot escape it. Worse still, her past begins to surface. In this new world, the past is not done with her yet. And neither is Death, lurking in the dark to claim that postponed dance, that'll inevitably be her last. And whatever is happening to her... may be connected to what is happening to the world.

Sanctuary

Sanctuary. That was what the quarantine dome was supposed to be, a place of refuge from the N-Gel and the deadly Neoplague they unleashed on the world. But we aren't safe here. Senna is uprooted from her rural life in the outer dome when her mother agrees to marry the President of Sanctuary. It was supposed to be a Cinderella story, but Senna can't stand the health and status obsessed city. Her only escape comes from repairing an antique piece of wireless tech, an endeavor that is seemingly hopeless due to the interference that reduced such tech useless after the invasion. Senna believes that if she can get the device to work, she can use it to contact the life she left behind. However, it isn't her old life she reaches when she gets the device to power on. Instead she catches the SOS of a little girl who claims to be held captive in the toxic world outside of the dome. The girl offers a reward for her rescue-the cure for the plague that forced humanity into quarantine and took Senna's father from her.
