Set against the sprawling, untamed landscapes of the American West, The Long Trail follows a mismatched group of pioneers and outcasts on a perilous wagon train journey to California. Among them are Perry, a bookish runaway with a broken moral compass; Nelly, a fierce, independent teen grappling with her traumatic past; and Samson, a grizzled mountain man haunted by the ghosts of his failures. Together, they must navigate not only treacherous terrain but their own demons, as they battle bandits, harsh elements, and the unyielding pressures of survival.

As the group pushes westward, bonds are forged and fractured amidst the crucible of the trail. Perry learns the cost of lies and the value of redemption under Samson's reluctant mentorship, while Nelly fights to earn respect in a world that constantly underestimates her. Seth, a hesitant young leader, struggles to unite a fractious community and prove his worth to a demanding father. When betrayal and a devastating blizzard threaten to destroy everything, the travelers must rely on newfound courage and trust to reach their destination-or risk being consumed by the wilderness and their own failings.

Rooted in historical detail and rich with emotional depth, The Long Trail is an epic tale of survival, sacrifice, and self-discovery, where every mile tests the limits of humanity, and every step forward is a step into the unknown.Seluruh Hak Cipta Dilindungi Undang-Undang

Eclipsed Earth oleh midnightaura34

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.

My Hands Hold My Story (Rough Draft) oleh thequietwriter

In 1874, Ivy Steele's deafness is more than a handicap. It's a disease. Surrounded by a family that doesn't understand her, she's learned to cope and find solace where she can. Then, the unexpected happens. Her aunt dies, and her uncle sends her away to rejoin her father's family in Montana. Left to fend for herself, after the companion hired to escort her abandons her, Ivy faces continual hardship and danger. Several men see an unaccompanied Ivy as a flower ripe for the picking, and things only get worse when masked men hold up their stagecoach. Barely scraping through, Ivy makes it to Montana with her nerves shaken and what little money she has in her boot. Expecting a peaceful if not affectionate welcome, Ivy finds herself in greater hardship than she's ever known. Surrounded by a stepfamily that hates her, and flung into a life where hearing is vital, Ivy finds solace in a handsome cowboy named Remy. But things with her new family are not what they seem. And Ivy is about to find out that the danger she faced on the journey west, has followed her to Montana... Bethany Swafford dazzles with her stunning young adult debut, introducing a strong heroine, the hardships of frontier life, shocking twists, and a slow-burning romance that will leave you wanting more.

Exile: The Book of Ever oleh JamesCormier

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

Pursuers close in, old debts rise from the dust, and trust-once broken-may never be repaired. To survive, they must decide what they're willing to fight for, and what they're willing to bury. Because in a land of betrayal and blood, there are only two endings: forgiveness... or two graves in the dust.
