"In a world once teeming with beauty and life, insidious darkness soon took root, giving rise to an apocalyptic nightmare. Long ago, an experiment conducted by a ruthless corporation unleashed a horrifying monstrosity, mutating living beings into nightmarish, fleshy creatures. These grotesquely terrifying monsters, relentlessly hunt and devour all in it's path. As this disgusting "virus" spread like wildfire,  chaos consumed the once-thriving cities and towns. Humanity's struggle for survival forced the remaining population to seek refuge in isolated pockets of safety. The survivors built fortified settlements, hidden away from the monstrous hordes that prowled the wastelands. The remaining survivors thrived by creating their own "groups". These groups quickly spread, soon becoming their own communities.

Our main characters, Ivy, a resilient and resourceful young loner wandering through the desolate wastelands in search of her missing family,
meanwhile, Ezra, an impulsive and adventurous soul with an untold past, surviving as best as she can.

Amidst this bleak landscape, two souls, once strangers, are brought together by fate. As they travel together, seeking refuge and safety, an unexpected bond grows between them. As they continue their journey they befriend many different and unique people."

100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage. Unfortunately for her, ruthless and cunning 26 year old Mafia leader and billionaire Tristan Black had other plans for her. He's been waiting for the perfect moment to kidnap her and finally make her his queen after 2 years of watching and stalking her every move. He'd kill anyone who gets in the way of getting what he wants. What will happen when he ruins everything she wanted and forces her to marry him? Will she escape and resist him? Or will she submit and accept her fate?

[BOOK 1] Ivy Dair is working in the Infirmary, along with her mother, Lana Dair, who is a renowned healer and part of the Council of Healers, whilst her younger sister, Ava Dair, is still part of the Academy and is training to become a Royal Soldier. One fine day, as everyone goes about their day, the doors to her floor of the Infirmary bursts open and a flood of soldiers wash them, all groaning and grunting in pain. Ivy stares in horror of the sheer number of ill soldiers, but starts preparing cots and mattresses for the sick. In just an hour, the rest of the healers are sent back home and the Infirmary goes into lockdown, but not a word is breathed out to the rest of the capital folk. The rest of the day goes away from helping and tending to the sick, and as the hours pass by, the soldiers grow more and more sick, now having acute and agonising abdomen and chest pains. This was a rare disease none have heard of or seen. Eudora, their floor leader and Ivy's grave enemy, picks four other healers to go with her to the Archives to obtain more information. But that night, the High Council of Healers, a council of five members, in which Lana Dair was a part of, announced their decision of sending a group of healers out to the remote town of Erryl, where the disease was claimed to have first spread from. Now, with the deadline of a week, Ivy and others set out by foot to an unknown, dangerous area, and with the looming threat of war, will they be able to find the cure before the enemy, or will the bloody war turn into a biowar ??
