Book 2 in the Burning Series: the sequel to Dust.


The world is changing.

There used to be men, and there used to be monsters.

The line between the two is blurred now.

Long ago, the earth spun in a constant cycle. There was life. There was hope. It is no longer such.

Humanity cowers beneath glass domes in the midst of the desert, afraid of radiation that no longer pollutes the air. But there are darker things hiding in the wilderness now. Wild things. Cursed things. Burning things. 

Yet, not all is lost.

Ashes, ashes. We all fall down sometimes. But what happens when you can't stand again?All Rights Reserved

Lost Horizon (Sample) by Voltino321

SAMPLE OF BOOK #1 OF THE LOST HORIZON SERIES Hundreds of years ago, the earth experienced a collapse. The surface of the once prosperous planet was reduced to nothing but a desert wasteland. Those few who'd survived the travesty were forced to live in domed cities. In one of these safe havens, Sanctuary as it was named, its people accepted the fact that human life no longer belonged on the Outside World. This simply became a law of reality. However, the entire society is shocked when a human boy is discovered on the other side of Sanctuary's walls. He was named Rex. Possessing no recollection of his past he decides to start life anew. But fragmented images in his mind call for him to leave once more. Rex, along with his adoptive brother, decides to join the Seeker Corps, a group dedicated to surveying the outside in hopes of finding humanity's next home. Survival is key to protecting those who he holds dear and discovering the truth of his mysterious origin. This is a tale of souls seeking to defy a seemingly already decided future. What will they uncover beyond the lost horizon?

SINS OF FROST AND HEAT by ARiccinovel

Ruby staggered back, her breath ragged, wiping blood from the corner of her mouth. Liam stood opposite her, his jaw tight, the rain soaking them both. His fists were still clenched, but he wasn't advancing. Not anymore. "Why don't you just finish it?" she spat, her voice sharp but trembling. Liam's eyes burned into hers. "Because you don't want me to." Her laugh was bitter, broken. "Don't flatter yourself." "Then stop looking at me like that," he growled, stepping closer. "Like what?" "Like you'd rather kill me or kiss me." The air between them buzzed, heavy and charged. Ruby's heart pounded as he closed the space between them, his hand brushing hers. "You don't know me," she whispered, though her voice lacked conviction. "I know enough," Liam said, his voice rough, his gaze locked on hers. For a moment, neither moved, their breath mingling in the cold air. Then, without warning, Ruby grabbed the front of his shirt and yanked him forward. Their lips met in a collision of anger and need, the kiss desperate, violent, and all-consuming. When they finally broke apart, gasping for air, Liam's hand cupped her jaw, his thumb brushing her cheek. "Still hate me?" he murmured. Ruby's lips curved into a dangerous smile. "Shut up, Liam." And she pulled him in again.

The Wakeful Wanderer's Guide to Disillusionment by JimInfantino

Book 2 of the Wakeful Wanderer's series. Book 1 is The Wakeful Wanderer's Guide to New New England & Beyond. That's a good place to start. It's available here. The America of our near-future is divided across socio-economic and technological-philosophical lines. The Traditionalists eschew any and all post-human technologies in favor of tangible materials. They uphold strict hierarchical structures based on religion, family, and leadership. They long for the return of the global markets wiped out by a world-shaking disaster called The Great Tide. The Interconnected stand in stark opposition to their ways, living without property, family, or religion, and modifying their bodies with the help of new and invasive technologies. They speak to each other wordlessly, employing a technological telepathy they call 'thexting' to communicate mind to mind, and embrace the gifting economy of Merit to maintain their post-scarcity lifestyles. Marto, the traveling Interconnected historian, has exiled himself to protect the ones he loves from his dark secret. In his absence, Helen, a runaway Traditionalist aristocrat, struggles to find her place among the Interconnected, unwilling to return to her cruel family. Reyleena, the former head of security in the Interconnected town of Reverside, has returned to a life of quiet solitude, broken occasionally by the impositions of The Other, an omnipresent AI, who will not leave her alone. Meanwhile, Barnabas, the Traditionalist leader of New Atlantic, fights to return to his township in the wake of an attack. Nora, his sister, remains in Reverside and must come to terms with her new life in captivity.

DARF by sangre-del-sol

What is the most dangerous kind of human? The ones with weapons? The ones who are skilled at using those weapons? The psychos? I guess it depends on what you count as human.

The question is barely considered. They are monsters. Mutations. Javier Whitaker must save his brother from DARF. A lab that studies the complications of Formelds, and the reason behind their existence. It seems their intentions are good, but it must take a lot of paint to cover the blood on those walls. And that was exactly it. It is still there, building up, unseen beneath the blinding white.

Whisper of Sands by tamimiqbal10

In the heart of a harsh desert lies an oasis protected by the Jakari and Sandwalkers, two tribes divided by tradition. When a hidden city awakens, threatening to unleash its destructive power, Amira, a Jakari warrior, and Liara, a Sandwalker scholar, must forge an unlikely alliance. Their perilous journey into the city's ruins reveals a forgotten past and the key to controlling the power source. By deciphering ancient rituals and learning to communicate with the desert's energy, they establish a fragile peace. Years later, new whispers emerge from the forgotten canyons, hinting at another slumbering force. Amira and Liara lead a new expedition, encountering a colossal creature, a protector of a dormant power source disrupted by their ancestors. Through understanding and diplomacy, they restore the balance and solidify their role as guardians of the desert. Generations pass, and the once-small oasis blossoms into a thriving city-state, Whisperwind. The current Keeper of Whispers, Elara, grapples with a new challenge - whispers emanating from a vast, unknown desert beyond their borders. These whispers, unlike the familiar warmth of the desert, are cold and metallic, a desperate plea from a dying civilization. Through tireless research and a newfound understanding of the whispers, they discover a way to offer aid, bridging the energy signature of the dying civilization with their own spring. The whispers fade, replaced by a comforting silence. Whisperwind stands as a testament to the power of communication and the delicate balance between humanity and the unknown. The Jakari and Sandwalkers, now united as the Keepers of Whispers, face a future where they are not just protectors of their own desert, but guardians of a universe teeming with the potential for both destruction and understanding.

O2 by sarakbeeksma

The Earth is dying, yet humanity survives. Pollution and radiation run rampant on the surface. The government rations food and clean air for everyone.

Nym and her family live outside the dome when the disease breaks out. Spreading through the Minor City Shelter and then to Shelter's around other cities, nothing seems capable of stopping it. People are going mad and dying off like flies. There's no cure they can find. They only know one thing. Their last precious resource is going to be the death of them.
