Twenty-five years after the world fell apart, an island sanctuary in Lake Superior stands as a fortress against the infected. When eighteen-year-old Jayden is bitten, he's terrified-until he finds out he's immune. He should be relieved, but for Jayden, immunity means nothing more than survival.
As the island's leaders pressure him to train for a war he never wanted to fight, he struggles to find himself. The more they push, the more he feels the walls closing in. Only Gunnar-a tough yet big-hearted friend-keeps him grounded. As their bond deepens, so do the dangers around them.
With the infected closing in, Jayden realizes the true threat lies not with the undead, but among the living, willing to do anything to survive. Now, he must confront how far he's willing to go to protect those he loves-and whether love can endure in a world where everything is trying to kill them.

Reap the Earth at Which you Stand [boyxboy]
Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...Complete

Sometimes, you just need to see new horizons, taste new dangers to build yourself. I may end up burning my wings in Los Angeles, but who knows? I might also meet my peace of mind...Complete
