Paradox - Lost in Time
In a world on the brink of collapse, a deadly mutation of the Zika virus, labelled H1T1, begins to claim lives with a speed not seen since the Black Death swept through Europe. Desperate to stop the outbreak, a group of young scientists successfully constructs a time machine, hoping to venture into the future to retrieve a cure and bring it back to their present. Fully aware of the risks, they push the machine beyond its limits and find themselves partially stranded in a dystopian future. In this grim reality, the virus has wiped out three-quarters of the global population, dismantling society as we know it. The remnants of humanity now inhabit fractured cities, controlled by brutal armed factions and authoritarian regimes. Trapped in this hostile world, the group must navigate a landscape of violence and despair while confronting their own futures and counterparts from this timeline. The mistakes of the past resurface: rivalries, betrayals, and the devastating losses that tore them apart-murder, madness, and the inescapable brutality of a world drained of hope. In their fight to survive and find the cure, they face not only the dangers of this future but also the haunting reality of what they might become.Complete

What The Fire Left Behind (The White Coat Chronicles: After Hours 3)
The White Coat Chronicles: After Hours 3 "Behind every white coat lies a secret, a scar, or a sin." "They see the coat, the name, the medals-and assume I was built for the pedestal. Polished. Untouchable. The kind of woman who never bleeds unless it's for someone else. But what they don't know is that I've died more times than the men I've tried to save. I don't carry a heart anymore-I carry aftermath. Legacy didn't raise me. It caged me. Duty didn't protect me. It broke me in the quiet. I have knelt beside dying gods, begged them to breathe, and still walked away like I wasn't the one torn open. Let them call me cold. I don't need warmth. I need silence sharp enough to cut. Because I am not here to be forgiven. I am here to burn. To bury. To begin again- Not as a daughter. Not as a fiancée. Not as a martyr. But as the weapon they never saw coming.Complete
