    She couldn't escape. Not from him. "Let me go, Jack!" she screamed, her voice raw with desperation. "I can't stay here. Please... let me go!" His grip only tightened, and he stepped closer, pinning her against the cold, rough wood of the shack. "I told you, you're not running away again. I'm not going to let you keep running from me." The other two men-her captors-emerged from the shadows behind him, their faces as menacing as ever. The blond one with the rifle and the dark-haired one who had always watched her with a calculating gaze. They were all here. And just like that, she was trapped.

Despite the seeming kindness of Kaden, a young man her own age, Ara doesn't know if she can trust them. Then again, there's no way she can cross the plague-ridden city on her own. Men. Monsters.

    She should not exist in this world. She comes from a past where her story was meant to end - and yet she awakens in a reality where every day is a fight for survival and where morality depends on who is holding the knife. She learns this world slowly: its brutal rules, fragile alliances, and the people forced to choose between their hearts and their responsibilities. She sees more, knows more - and that is precisely why she cannot be trusted. On her path stand people torn between who they must be and who they wish they could be. Relationships are born from tension, anger, and unspoken promises - where trust is a weapon, and love is a weakness. A story about a world where surviving does not always mean living. _______________________________ The story starts at the beggining of season 2 of the100 and follows main threats.

    [BOOK 2 - SEQUEL TO WITHERING WORLD] It only takes an earthquake and a breathtaking discovery of enhanced human abilities for Jesse's life to change. WITHER was conquered three years ago, bringing brighter days to Beacontown and its allies. The blue mycelium antidote is now the people's weapon, keeping the disease in its grave. And as a plus, the New Order's friendship has never been closer. But when a war is lost, not everyone wants to accept defeat, especially not the disease that'd almost doomed humanity. A wicked mutation is underway, too remorseless to spare even the ones who have the greatest chance of survival. This new, blood-curdling variant is wiser, stronger and has stolen the very tactic that Jesse uses to bring home the victory every time - teamwork. Now forcing the infected to their side, WITHER taunts at the antidote that no longer cures. What hope is left for the world? ~~~~ -PERSPECTIVES- [JESSE - 1ST PERSON] [LUKAS - 1ST PERSON] [PETRA - 1ST PERSON] ****

    A generation after humanity has destroyed itself in a war the survivors don't even remember the cause of, elves and magic have re-emerged, not as saviors, but oppressors. In the remaining cities, a nobility of fae with unmitigated cruelty has taken control of the human population. In the wilderness, a human monastery, in harmony with independent human villages, launches a reclamation project in the deep wooded ruins of a New England college town. On the outside, the motive of this commune appears altruistic, sending young acolytes out to explore the ruins of libraries and other cultural centers to try and recreate an archive of human civilization from "Before the Fall." Two sisters are rescued from the oppression of the fae dominated cities and indoctrinated into the reclamation project. The elder, Akira, has gone to extreme measures to ensure their survival at any cost. The younger, Pearl, has maintained her innocence and continues to view the world from an idealistic perspective. Can they save the world through their love and devotion, or will they succumb to the evils of the world? Is evil intrinsic?

    Fifty years ago, the Veyans vanished. Their ships rose as one and disappeared into the void, leaving behind ruins, fractured technology, and a world collapsing into chaos. Time itself began to break-pockets of the past bleeding into the present, moments of the future flickering and dying before they could be born. They call it the Fracture. Lyra survives by scavenging Veyan relics and trading them to the highest bidder. Hope is a luxury she abandoned long ago. Trust is a weakness she cannot afford. But when she discovers an artifact no human has ever seen, the dormant Signal Tower screams to life-and through the static, a voice speaks. His name is Solen. He is Veyan. He is dying, scattered across the broken timeline of Earth. And he believes Lyra is the only one who can save him. Bound together by the artifact, Lyra ventures into the Fracture Zones-where past and present collide, and danger waits in every shadow. As she hunts for the fragments of Solen, their connection deepens into something neither expected. A longing that bends time. A bond that defies the ruins of a dying world. But the signal has awakened something else. An ancient enemy that hunted the Veyans across the stars now turns its gaze toward Earth. The Fracture is widening. The enemy is feeding. And Lyra must make an impossible choice: save the man she is falling for, or send the last signal before dawn-a call that could heal the world, but cost her everything. A sweeping sci-fi romance. A love story across time. A final chance for a dying world.

    An endless winter storm has descended upon the lands of Skadha, freezing everything in its path and twisting humanity itself. Those caught in the storm mutate violently, becoming unrecognizable monsters, forcing the survivors to flee beneath the earth. Humanity now clings to life in the Depths, a sprawling, multi-layered underground civilization built to endure the cold above. Each layer has its own societies, markets, dangers, and secrets, forming a complex world where survival is a constant struggle. To maintain order and protect the people who live below, the Unus Commission was established. As the governing authority of the Depths, it oversees a network of subordinate Commissions and controls the Handlers, contracted mercenaries who take on dangerous missions for food, wealth, and survival. Every job is a gamble, every mission a fight against death, and betrayal can come from any corner of the labyrinthine tunnels. In a world where the storm above is relentless and the cold below is unforgiving, no one is safe. Mutated horrors lurk in the shadows, human ambition can be deadly, and even the strongest can fall. Life in the Depths is fragile, and every choice can be the difference between survival and becoming another lost soul in the never-ending winter.
