In the desolate expanse of the Arctic, a lone explorer uncovers a Viking ship long lost to the icy abyss. As the team digs through the layers of frozen history, strange occurrences begin to unravel the mystery of the ship's past. The ship, once a proud vessel of Viking warriors, holds more than just treasure-it is cursed, haunted by the restless spirits of berserkers bound by a dark pact. As the explorer and their team battle the harsh elements and the growing presence of vengeful ghosts, they must race against time to uncover the truth behind the berserkers' curse before it claims them all. What began as an expedition for history becomes a fight for survival, where the line between the living and the dead blurs in the icy winds. The question isn't just whether they can escape, but whether they will survive the fury that lies frozen in the dark.Completa
The Hollowing
The dead have never been so alive. After a deadly contagion reduced the world's population into mindless, undead monsters, the ruins of America still teem with activity, as some of the dead have regained their intelligence and created their own society; one free from the living's touch. Now, more than a decade later, survivalist extraordinaire Liam Fenix undertakes a harrowing escape from the uninhabited island that has been his prison since before the outbreak began, only to discover that he is the sole survivor of the civilization he left behind. He is not alone, however, as reincarnated bounty hunter Leah believes that Liam holds the key to reversing the pandemic that created her race. Armed with their survivalist expertise and following traces of the past, the two must traverse the wastelands together and bring back life to an otherwise dead world, even as they are pursued by a tyrant who does not want this plague to end. ------- Top tags to date: #1 in Gritty 12/21/2022 - 1/11/2023 ------- New chapters will be posted on Mondays, 4:00-6:00PM EST.

Dead Ice✔️
A companion novella to The Shadow Wars. In the farthest reaches of space lies an isolated mining planet called Dis: on the way to nowhere and in the middle of nowhere, it is of little importance to anyone but those occupying it. In the polar regions of the planet a handful of research and support sites reside, carving out a miserable existence among the frozen wastelands, eternally shrieking winds, and subzero temperatures. Here sits Frost Station. A cobbled-together research outpost that is home to a mere handful of personnel. Two months into a six month haul, these people are all out here for a reason. Some have been exiled, others have imposed their own. For John Marshall, the job is a break from a world he no longer feels capable of coping with. Counting on the bland monotony of boredom and routine to keep his lack of faith in himself at bay, he's happy to deal with the everyday problems of maintaining a distant outpost. But all this comes to a disastrous halt when a ship crashes just outside the base, right about the same time their communications mysteriously fail. As they pull bodies from the wreckage and try to solve the enigma of what happened, it becomes clear that something has gone horribly wrong when the only survivor from the wreck dies, then comes back to life...Completa
