apocalypse danger desert dnd dystopian fear journey medic scifi scifi-fantasy storm survival survivor thriller

It never rains, but it pours.
In the deserts of Farghalli, droughts are a blessing. They are broken up only by the Skybreak-- a terrible occurrence of extreme weather that will crush anyone unfortunate enough to be outdoors when it hits. Neoguard is a safe haven- a city built of strong rocks that can hold up against the onslaught.
When Roan and her team return from a scouting mission, they find that Neoguard has been taken over and the majority of its inhabitants slaughtered. With the next Skybreak looming and no hope of recapturing the city, they must make for the Oasis-- a dark and mysterious place that no one has ever returned from. No one, that is, except for Roan and her sister, Ash. 
The way ahead is wrought with peril, and the odds of survival are slim, but Roan has no choice-- she must make it. Giving in is not an option. Not when a storm is coming.All Rights Reserved

✨She traded a bracelet for a loaf of bread in a dream... and woke up with the power to survive the end of the world. When college student Julyah Anderson loses her parents in a tragic plane crash, she inherits more than just money and a secluded mountain villa. She also inherits a strange silver bracelet-and a vivid nightmare of the world ending in fire, flood, and ruin. Then she wakes up. And the countdown begins.

As society crumbles and women become rare targets in the new lawless world, she hides away in the mountains... alone. For one year, she survives. Until the day Adrian Blackwood-a cold, haunted ex-agent-crosses her path. In her dream, he saved her. But this time, she saves him. Together, they fight to stay alive through earthquakes, blizzards, and human threats more dangerous than any storm.

The Rares: Ascension by y4mxyhc43p

They were never meant to survive-only to awaken. When the Directorate of Biotech Advancement hunts the Ward family for the powers it created inside them, Luna Ward and her six children flee into Nova City's underground. Beneath shattered glass and neon skies, fire, frost, and dream awaken in the twins-Celeste and Caelum and the youngest, Cassiopeia-each gift a warning of what the world tried to engineer. As secrets surface and loyalties fracture, one family's love becomes the spark that could either ignite a revolution ... or end humanity's reign entirely. Survival is only the first evolution.

Ashes of the hollow by Thiadeth

The world ended not with fire, but with silence. Cities crumbled. Nature crept back. And in the ruins, the dead did not stay dead. Kael, a quiet survivor hardened by loss, trusts only his instincts. Lara, fierce and stubborn, refuses to let the world strip away her humanity. Together, they wander through forests, rivers, and the bones of cities-searching for hope in a land crawling with horrors. But the dead are changing. Some move in packs. Some hunt with unnatural speed. And some... some remember. When whispers of a hidden sanctuary reach them-a place untouched by the plague-they must choose: keep running from the dark, or risk everything for the faintest spark of tomorrow. In a world where laughter feels like betrayal and love is a dangerous luxury, survival is not enough. They must rediscover what it means to live.

Chaos³ by MicaelBedee

My ordinary, happy teenage life ended that day. Chaos swept everything away. The end of the world? Maybe. But more importantly, it was the beginning of my new life: that of a survivor. When everything collapses, your priorities shift. What matters takes on a whole new face. The questions become raw, immediate: what am I going to wipe with after taking a dump? How will Romain see clearly once his contact lenses expire tomorrow? And Nadia-how will she continue her antiretroviral therapy? And then, in the middle of all that, a thought both absurd and out of place: will Syvannah love me? In the long run, other questions haunt me: what caused this cataclysm? A natural disaster? A nuclear war? An alien invasion? One thing's for sure: tomorrow won't be a walk in the park.

Exile: The Book of Ever by 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.

Undead | Azriel | ACOTAR by unofficalavenger3000

In a world overrun by the dead, she survives by staying alone-until a chance encounter with a wounded child and the broken men protecting him changes everything. What begins as reluctant trust slowly becomes something more, a found family, a purpose, and a quiet love that grows in the shadows of ruin. But the past always lingers, and healing in the apocalypse isn't easy. A story of survival, of healing, and of learning to choose life-even when the world has ended.

With Her I Die by imliterallyspidey

For a moment, life seemed decent: nationals with your team on the horizon, an acceptance letter to your ideal college clutched in your hand, and the promise that soon, you and Jackie Taylor wouldn't have to hide anymore. Then the wilderness shattered it all. The plane tumbling from the sky wasn't just a crash - it was the universe rewriting your story. And Jackie. God, Jackie. Her body frozen beneath the snow after words you can never take back, after a fight that ended with her walking away. Her death lives inside you now, a cold weight that never thaws. Each breath feels stolen from her lungs. But there's Shauna, understanding your grief in ways no one else could. She becomes your gravity when you might otherwise float away into darkness. Her hand in yours, a silent pact between survivors. Two broken pieces holding each other together in this splintered world where nothing makes sense anymore. (please review warnings before reading)

THE RISKS by EmJayRey

"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.
