Echoes Of Survival
After years of drifting in the vastness of space aboard the Arc, humanity's last refuge is on the brink of collapse. The oxygen supply is dwindling, and with no other options left, a desperate decision is made: to return to Earth-a planet long abandoned after a cataclysmic solar apocalypse scorched its surface and altered its environment forever. A small group of survivors, led by former officers, scientists, and civilians, descend to Earth, each bringing unique skills and haunted pasts. They find a world both familiar and terrifyingly new. The sun's relentless radiation has twisted the landscape into something wild and unpredictable, while the remnants of humanity, now known as "grounders," have adapted in brutal ways to survive. Thrown into this unforgiving world, the group must navigate the dangers of their new home, from violent grounder tribes who see them as invaders to the scorched earth that seems intent on swallowing them whole. They face limited resources, hostile terrain, and their own inner demons as they fight not only to survive, but to build a future on this desolate planet. With tensions rising, secrets from the Arc threaten to tear the group apart just when they need unity the most. In the chaos of survival, they must decide what kind of world they will build amidst the echoes of the past-and whether they can hold onto their humanity in the process. Echoes of Survival is a gripping tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the relentless will to live in a world where everything is fighting to keep you down.Complete

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.
