Cathleen, a young woman in a post-apocalyptic world where magic exists alongside harsh realities, embarks on a solitary journey to find a safe haven. Her journey is perilous, filled with encounters with other survivors, some friendly, some hostile, dangerous mutated creatures, and humanoids. She faces constant threats to her survival, relying on her wits, her magic, and her memories of her father's advice: "safety lies in numbers." She struggles with both physical dangers and the emotional trauma of her past. Her experiences force her to confront her vulnerabilities and make difficult choices about who to trust.
As she pushes onward, her determination to find a community fuels her perseverance. The landscape itself is a character, reflecting the harshness of the world. Near the end of her journey, she discovers a hidden settlement, a potential sanctuary. The discovery offers a glimmer of hope for a stable life. However, the challenges and dangers are far from over, as the nature of this new settlement and the people within remain unknown, leaving Cathleen's future uncertain. The story concludes with the potential for a new beginning, but the ultimate success of finding peace and belonging remains unresolved.

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.
Affinity Witch
A light obscured often goes dark. Sabrina Verrun is a witch and the most gifted metallurgist her Hexen coven has seen in a century. Unfortunately, she has no interest in being a traditional metal-worker, repairing broken items and making trinkets to sell in the Hexen shop...she wants to create new things, things no one has ever seen before. While she dreams of devoting her life to her metal-working, her mother has other plans...she wants Sabrina to follow in her footsteps and take over as coven leader, putting aside metal in favor of assuming responsibility for the well-being of the other witches. Sabrina has no desire to do such a thing, and as she fights for control of her own life, she's determined to create something that proves her research is worthwhile, earning her the freedom she so desperately craves. But as those she lives with manipulate her, ignore her, and treat her as if she doesn't know her own mind, she eventually turns her attention to the one place she's forbidden from entering-the Schwarzwald, a magical, yet deadly, forest ruled by the elusive and powerful Forest King. Eventually, Sabrina finds herself willing to go to any lengths to control her own destiny, and the choices she makes along the way affect not only herself, but her coven, other magic users, and one important life yet to come. A light obscured often goes dark, and a passion can too easily become an obsession in this cautionary coming-of-age prequel to Witch, Wolf, Woods.Concluida

As they fight to protect a growing community of survivors, Ray and Veynir's bond deepens - love rising from the ashes of the old world.

And sometimes, the end of the world is just the beginning..
THE WAY WE SURVIVE
In an apocalyptic world of the near future, a virus intended to be used as biological warfare in the Middle East has escaped into the general population and has destroyed 75% of the Earth's citizens. Those left are of three veins: struggling to survive in hiding, attempting to restore world order, or lowered to their very base instincts of rage and violence. Keller and Shelby, the only survivors of their small New York town, have created a solitary life together in the Catskill Mountains. They live in worry of discovery as mobs of raiders move through the state. Two years after the virus release, they have found comfort in one another, and even love. When marauders invade their property and kidnap Shelby, leaving Keller for dead, she discovers there's more to the left behind than those that have devolved into their inner animal. At a camp run by the mysterious Isaac, she is met with the challenge of accepting that things aren't exactly as she'd assumed. That evil is counterbalanced with good. That survival of the human species is worth fighting for. And so is love.Concluida
THE CURSE OF THE AFRICAN CUPIDS
Set in a divided city struggling with deep racial tensions, the story follows Kofi, a young Black man from a marginalized community, as he discovers the brutal history of his ancestors' fight against systemic oppression. His family's history is filled with stories of resistance, survival, and sacrifice, but also violence-both experienced and perpetrated. Kofi is forced to confront these painful truths as he embarks on a journey to understand the forces that have shaped his world. Along the way, he crosses paths with Lena, a White woman from a privileged background who, upon learning about her own family's involvement in the oppressive systems of the past, starts questioning her role in perpetuating inequality. Despite their differences, Kofi and Lena begin to work together, uncovering hidden truths about the city's past and the violent conflicts that have defined it. As the two of them get closer to exposing a conspiracy that has kept the racial divide intact, they are forced to navigate escalating violence from both sides-those fighting for change and those desperately trying to maintain the status quo. The city's streets become a battleground, with riots, protests, and acts of terror shaking the foundation of society. In the midst of all this, Kofi and Lena must face not only the physical violence around them but also the psychological toll that the history of oppression takes on their minds and spirits. The story explores the cyclical nature of violence, the need for justice, and the human cost of conflict. As the narrative unfolds, the question becomes not just how to survive, but how to break the cycle of violence and move toward a future where peace is possible.Concluida
