What was once the United States is now home to Terra Avor, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. A deadly disease, called the Contagium, plagues the lands and kills millions per year slowly and painfully. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Isaac is a nobody, a face that is soon forgotten after being seen. But then comes the breaking news. Isaac has caught the Contagium, and he will be dead by the new year. But things are never as they seem, as Isaac slowly unravels the truth behind Terra Avor, and its hidden and more malicious motives. The problem is, will he be able to fully discover the truth by the time the Contagium kills him?

shifting worlds 1: project eclipse
Project: eclipse Six years after the fall, there's nothing left but whispers of a forgotten world. A world where humanity tried to cheat death, and in doing so, sealed its fate. The government's desperation led them to create a vaccine for a deadly disease. But in their arrogance,they didn't foresee the true consequence: the birth of a much worse plague. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year 2031. The sky dull shade of grey, the sun blocked out by the perpetual ash that rains down from fires that had long since stopped burning. The earth, scarred from endless devastation, feels lifeless. Once-thriving cities are now just graveyards for the human race, each building a tombstone, each street a silent witness to the deaths of billions. The virus, once a failed vaccine, now turned every victim into something strange: people with animal ears, tails, sometimes even paws or claws. Those who survived, who made it through the sickness, had their bodies changed. Their DNA adapted, and they became mutants-some fox ears, others with eagle wings, or wolf tails. The line between human and animal had blurred, and the world they knew was no longer recognizable. But humanity was still present in their eyes-the survivors of the mutations-they weren't monsters. They were just different.Complete

Nevermore's Black Dahlia [wlw]
Y/N was born into darkness. The daughter of ruthless killers, raised beneath blood-soaked walls, she was never meant to taste freedom. Her parents-cold, cruel, and merciless-planned to sell her beauty as if it were currency, binding her to a decaying drug lord whose empire reeked of rot and power. But she refused to become their pawn. With a heart pounding against the chains of fate, she vanished into the shadows, carrying nothing but her fear and her breathtaking allure-a curse as much as a gift. Her escape led her to Nevermore Academy, a sanctuary for the strange, the gifted, and the damned. Yet safety is an illusion. Among the ivy-clad towers and whispering halls, she finds herself hunted by more than her past. Students and teachers alike are drawn to her like moths to flame, each ensnared by the intoxicating beauty she cannot hide. Desire coils around her every step, obsession lurks behind every stare, and danger follows her like a second skin. But in Nevermore, secrets are currency, lust is a weapon, and survival demands more than innocence-it demands power. Will she remain the hunted, or will she learn to wield the very curse that once chained her? Nevermore's Black Dahlia is a darkly seductive tale of escape, forbidden desire, and the razor-thin line between love and ruin.

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.Complete
