In a world on the brink of global conflict, a tight-knit group of teenagers finds their lives irrevocably changed when the phone lines disconnect and the internet falls silent. As the threat of World War III looms, five friends-Aden, Jamie, Lily, Max, and Zoe-must navigate a chaotic and uncertain world, relying on their wits, courage, and the unbreakable bond of their friendship.

When the first signs of the impending crisis begin to unfold, the teens gather at midnight, unaware that their lives are about to take a dramatic turn. As they face the challenges of survival in a world without technology, they must confront their fears, make difficult decisions, and learn to rely on each other in ways they never imagined.

From the streets of their suburban neighborhood to the heart of a war-torn city, the group embarks on a journey of self-discovery and resilience. As they encounter moral dilemmas, emotional turmoil, and unexpected twists, they find strength in their unity and the power of their friendship.

"Disconnected: A Generation at War" is a gripping and thought-provoking exploration of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It delves into themes of technology, friendship, and the fragility of peace, offering a poignant and timely narrative that will resonate with readers of all ages!

Join Aden, Jamie, Lily, Max, and Zoe as they fight to survive in a world disconnected from the comforts of technology, and discover the true meaning of friendship, loyalty, and hope in the darkest of times.  

I really hope you enjoy this journey! This all also is very inspired by current events and I just wanted to make something that might actually make you think a bit.

Old feuds, new worlds, and a love that will last a lifetime... Ever since her dad mysteriously abandoned her family, life on the Clifton Estate hasn't been all that exciting for 16-year-old Marla True. Her Mum constantly works to make ends meet, which means Marla has to put up with gossipy old Bev keeping an eye on her and noisy little half-sister Ribbon. If that wasn't bad enough, her exam results are in... and they aren't good. But at least she has her friends. Asher, the responsible and strong boy who has known her all her life and Ed, the orphaned rebel who loves to stir up trouble. Then there's her, Marla, stubborn, fiery and just plain lost. Life on the estate is same-old same-old, until the senile World War Two veteran, Mr. Pelham, starts freaking Marla out with his staring and rambling, cryptic messages. Is he trying to warn her? Or hurt her? When the bored trio decide to teach the creepy old man it's rude to scare young girls, they learn far too late just how crucial it is to respect your elders. For his daughter, Bridget, has a power unlike anything they've ever seen before and she uses her deadly craft to send them to a place that will teach them the lesson of their lifetime. Bridget has sent them back in time, all the way to World War Two, throwing them into a secret fight for the survival of all magical folk in the world. Marla soon learns what it really means to be a True, and the power her absent father has kept from her all her life... Marla, Ed and Asher are thrown into a world they and their generation have no comprehension of, a world where love is a relic of a life left behind and your only duty is sacrificing all that you have. These three friends are about to learn about a side of World War Two that never made the history books. ***I can't take credit for the artwork, it's called A BREAK IN REALITY and it's by the AMAZINGLY talented Xenobyte on deviantart. Seriously check his stuff out. I'm in love with that imagination.***
