The Half-Eclipse

When a rare half solar eclipse darkens the sky, the world doesn't just change...it collapses.

Strange radiation spreads across the planet, turning people into mindless creatures. Cities fall within hours. Panic consumes the streets.

But a strange pattern emerges: those inside wooden structures remain untouched.

Among the survivors is Rose, a young environmental activist who never expected to lead anyone. Now, with the world in ruins, she finds herself guiding a fragile group of survivors-her childhood friend Eli, an intelligent, forensic student ; Maya, the resourceful artist; Jasper, the quiet observer; Theo, the philosopher; and Ryder, the street-smart fighter.

With supplies running out and danger lurking beyond every door, survival becomes more complicated than simply staying alive.

Trust fractures. Secrets surface. And Rose's ideas about protecting the world begin to clash with the brutal choices survival demands.

Because the eclipse wasn't just a disaster.

It was the beginning of something far worse.

Now the survivors must uncover the truth behind the catastrophe... before the new world consumes what little humanity they have left.
