Now, she's being hunted for the ability she has no control over, and with Hunter, she leaves behind her home town and heads for the country's Capital, determined to escape over the border and into the unknown land beyond it.
But the government has a tighter hold on it's citizens than expected. And it's keeping things from them. Before she knows it, the truth has appeared, and just when Riley thinks she has it all figured out, the secret that has been buried beneath it all is unearthed, and she begins to question everything - even herself.
Riley knows she has to escape, but one question remains: Is she going to like what she finds on the other side?

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.

After one too many tragedies, she had decided to finally leave the, so called, "safe zone". With her main objective being the search for her best friend, she finds more than she bargained for.

Callidus Rising | Complete ✔️ | Book 1
[COMPLETED] •Being revised... AGAIN (Progress: Intro-Chap. 3)• "We're going back... Understand? There are more threats out here than we anticipated, and they're all after you-" Lukas' voice erupted into static and chunks... I glared at the man in all black as the light continued to beam and blind me. Without my glasses it was actually painful. And then there was silence. My bare feet hit the metal floor of wherever we had jumped to, and I put my hand up to shield my eyes from the vicious attack of bright light. Not again." Alexi Callidus is living in a post-apocalyptic world... In the 25th Century. The year is 2470. She's been surviving on her own for 4 years and 8 months inside the same building with her only companion without seeing the sun. 5 years after the brutal unexplained murder of her family. 7 years after the genetic disaster of "GASP". 7 years and 4 months after the War of Nations. Everything seems to be barren and empty... But if her super old sci-fi movies didn't teach her that looks deceive, nothing will. Technology, before "GASP" (Genetically Altered Soldiers Program) and the War of Nations, was insane. You could be teleported in the blink of an eye, or healed from a once fatal injury in days. With the majority of the population infected with a viral genetic plague, almost any of the survivors could access this technology... Including Alexi. When a simple quest for survival turns into a journey of a lifetime, will Alexi be able to survive the weight of the gruesome truth when she finally uncovers it? Will our heroine be able to fade into the background and live a quiet life of cunning? Or burst into flames in a sudden blaze of tragedy? -Callidus Rising- •This book's sequel is in progress (Curing Revolution) Highest Ranks: •#1 "secretsocieties" •#1 "armageddon" •#2 "famine" •#2 "plague" •#3 "explorer" •#4 "genetic-engineering" •#5 "artificial intelligence" ComComplete
Ambrosia Cane: The Immune Anomaly
ON HOLD Survival isn't enough. She was meant to be the cure-or the weapon. When the world fell to a parasite that turned people into hollowed-out husks called shells, Ambrosia Cane did what everyone else did: she ran. But when a bite should have ended her life, it didn't. Instead, it marked her as something else-something the world wasn't ready for. Now hunted by a cult that calls her the messiah and haunted by the CDC that once used her as a lab rat, Em hides behind scars, sarcasm, and a muzzle meant to protect others from what she might become. But when she rescues a little girl and stumbles into a ragtag group of survivors, Em finds something she never expected: a reason to stay. As the shells evolve and the line between monster and human blurs, Em must decide who she really is-and how far she's willing to go to protect the people who've become her family. Because immunity doesn't mean invincibility. And being immune doesn't mean she's safe.
