Eclipsed Earth by imdestinylee01

After the catastrophic fallout of a radiation bomb, humanity's remnants retreated underground into a bunker built for 400 people. For years, the survivors clung to hope, dreaming of the day Earth would be livable again. That day finally arrives. Kora Meyer, a fiery 19-year-old who has carried the weight of grief since losing her family during the evacuation, is the respected but guarded leader of the group. Her tough exterior hides a deep passion and love for the people under her care. Alongside her stands Xavier Crane, the sharp-tongued yet golden-hearted second-in-command who can lighten any tense moment with a sarcastic remark but secretly harbors an unshakable loyalty to Kora. As they lead their people back to the surface, they find an Earth transformed-not the barren wasteland they expected, but a wild and untamed paradise. However, it's not uninhabited. Scattered across the land are powerful tribes, each with its own traditions, fiercely protective of their resources, and willing to turn hostile when provoked. With danger lurking at every corner and passion igniting between them, Kora and Xavier must navigate the complexities of rebuilding civilization, forging alliances, and keeping their people safe. But as they learn more about the tribes and uncover secrets of the past, the two leaders find themselves drawn to each other in ways they never anticipated. Their chemistry is electric, their connection undeniable-and in a world where survival is uncertain, their love becomes their strongest weapon. When old betrayals and new dangers threaten to destroy the fragile balance of their newfound world, Kora and Xavier must decide how far they're willing to go to protect their people-and each other.

Overrun by ItzyLover4Ever

In a ravaged post apocalyptic America overrun by the undead, two survivors embark on a journey to find refuge. Lena is alone, exhausted, and near her breaking point after losing her family to the zombie horde. She has only one goal - to reach the fabeled New Hope settlement, rumored to be a safe haven located deep in the uncharted forests of the Pacific Northwest. Along the way, Lena crosses paths with Cole, a lone boy survivalist who keeps to himself. Though wary of each other at first, they soon realize they stand a better chance together. Under Cole's guidance, Lena hones her survival skills and begins to heal from her traumatic past. As they travel north through the decaying cities and rough terrain, Lena and Cole face relentless attacks from the infected. They also encounter human threats like hostile scavengers who will do anything to take their dwindling supplies. With the impending arrival of winter and little information about New Hope's existence, their resolve is tested at every turn. Just when all seems lost, they make a discovery that could be their salvation - or lead them into deeper peril. Through dynamic action scenes, twists, and moments of quiet introspection, Lena and Cole's bond transforms from uneasy partnership to deep trust. By the climactic finale, they have pushed past their limitations and will determine whether their fight for solace and perseverance is finally at an end.

UNSEEN [Vol 1] by BoredOnMars

In the year 2637, Kai Seraph is cursed with an aura too weak to protect those he loves. Haunted by the weight of his family's legacy and his own inadequacy, his bond with Nina Alesion, a brilliant scientist on a deadly quest to cure the XenoS virus, begins to shatter. Together, they face horrors far beyond the monstrous virus-an army of the undead known as the Torn, twisted by the virus into savage, unrecognizable creatures. Isaac Mikovich, a blind hybrid outcast, navigates a world of prejudice with only his heightened senses to guide him. His ability to see through sound is his greatest weapon and his curse, as he stumbles through a labyrinth of betrayal, violence, and horror. Joshua Long, a soldier torn between duty and a tortured past, uncovers a conspiracy so sinister it threatens to bring down everything-an apocalypse engineered by those in power. Meanwhile, Lyra Seraph, Kai's fierce sister, battles not only the horrors of the undead but the darkness within her own soul. In this world where nothing is what it seems and every victory is stained in blood, these warriors must confront death, betrayal, and the monsters lurking both outside and within. With relentless gore, heart-pounding action, and characters pushed to their absolute limits, this is a story of survival against all odds-a battle for humanity in a world teetering on the edge of annihilation. Will they save themselves, or become another casualty of the Torn?
