Kelsie and her little brother Ben are surface dwellers who live in a world ruined by war and greed. Disease has taken their parents, and violence has erupted in their home, the Tent City. To make sure her brother is safe, the malnourished Kelsie must travel to a safe place, a lab that her father had helped build, her father also helped design an AI-capable robot MCHAP that controls the lab.
While travelling to the lab, Kelsie nearly dies, but she is saved in the nick of time by Andy, the temporary leader of the Outcast Freedom Troop; a group of freedom fighters fighting for equality between the Surface dwellers and the Bunker dwellers. The Outcast Freedom troop also fights against bands of raiders and slavers that pollute the land. The raiders and slavers earn money by kidnapping surface wanderers like Ben and Kelsie to sell them at the underground human slave and servant market.

Last Light
Abby has spent her life fighting for Earth-chaining herself to fences, marching through tear gas, refusing to give up hope. Leaving was never an option. But when a rare ticket to a new world falls into her hands, Abby is forced to make an impossible choice-not just between the cause that defines her and the people she loves, but between who she's always been and who she might need to become.

THE RISKS
"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.
