In the aftermath of a cataclysmic nuclear war, humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. The once-thriving world has been reduced to a wasteland, where radiation runs rampant and genetic mutations have spawned a host of nightmarish new life forms. Society has crumbled, leaving survivors to navigate a harsh and violent landscape where every day is a struggle for survival. Amid this desolate chaos, a mysterious figure known only as Su emerges from the wilderness. With an enigmatic past and an uncertain future, Su embarks on a perilous journey through the ruins of civilization. His quest is driven by a quest for answers and a search for hope in a world where both seem to be in short supply. When desire is unshackled, the path forward becomes obscured; turning left leads to hell, and turning right leads to hell as well. The novel is centered around the struggle for survival, following the protagonist Su as he battles against various human factions such as the Dark Dragon Knights, the Bloodshed Council, and the Holy Radiant Crusaders. These conflicts push Su's abilities to continually awaken and evolve, ultimately escalating to a war against apostles and super-beasts.Complete
Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete
Dragon Storm
The fire destroyed everything except her will to keep going. The world ended in fire. New York is nothing but smoke, ash, and the desperate cries of survivors. Evyn Nyssa should have died with her family, her friends, and the life she once knew-but fate left her breathing. Now, with only her fiancé Jackson at her side, she must cross a city where bridges are guarded by killers, riots rage in the streets, and hope is more dangerous than hunger. Armed with a kitchen knife, a smuggled war relic, and her own fierce determination, Evyn chooses to fight for more than survival-she chooses to fight for love, faith, and the chance of a future far beyond the burning skyline. But in a world where trust can get you killed, and compassion is a liability, every step north may be her last. In the ashes of civilization, Evyn must decide: will she let the fire consume her-or will she carry its light into the dark?

🥀𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 "I will burn the world for you" She was Heaven's most precious angel. He was Hell's most feared devil. And somewhere between the light and the darkness, they found each other. When Aurora is torn from the celestial realm and dragged into the Devil's world, she expects fire, torment, and cruelty. Instead, she finds Lucifer-dangerous, intoxicating, and devastatingly beautiful. His touch is temptation, his words are poison, and his love is the sin she cannot stop committing. But every stolen moment comes with a cost. God will never forgive her. Heaven will never take her back. And Hell is no place for someone with wings as white as snow. War brews between angels and devils, and betrayal hides in every shadow. Yet, no matter the danger, Aurora falls deeper-into his arms, into his darkness, into the kind of love that could burn the world to ash. And when Heaven finally comes to take her back, the devil keeps his promise. In other books, the hero says he will burn the world for his girl-but the devil truly did it. A dark romance of forbidden love, sacrifice, and the beautiful tragedy of loving what you were meant to destroy.Complete

THE REASONS // Bellamy Blake - The 100 [book 3; inproces]
Book III: The Reasons - when the world ends, what's left to live for Three months have passed since the tragedy at Mount Weather, but the scars it left behind are still raw, still bleeding beneath the surface. The cost of survival is no longer measured in lives lost - but in souls shattered. Peace was promised, yet all they've found is silence where laughter used to be, tension where unity once stood. And for Madison, the silence has become deafening. The abuse she thought she left behind has only grown darker, more consuming. Every bruise hidden beneath layers of clothing, every glance over her shoulder, is a reminder that her war never really ended. She's been forced to run. Alone in the wilderness, hunted by those who want to take her power, she must find a way to survive with nothing but her instincts, her pain, and the crushing weight of guilt. All around her, the world teeters on the edge of collapse. A.L.I.E has risen from the shadows of the old world, a digital ghost with a god complex, whispering promises of peace through control, order through annihilation. The lines between right and wrong blur as survival grows more brutal, and each of them must face their own demons while trying to hold onto the last pieces of their humanity. Loyalties will be tested. Friendships will fracture. And love, in the face of such relentless loss, will be both a refuge and a battlefield. For Madison, the journey ahead is not just a fight for survival - it's a reckoning. Her addiction claws at her like a second skin, her guilt threatens to consume her from within. She is broken. But the fate of the human race may rest in her hands. And in the end, she must answer the hardest question of all: Can someone so damaged be the one to save them all?
