Dun Aviut

Long before kingdoms rose and history found its voice, Aresedal endured a cataclysm so devastating that all records of it were scorched from the world. The War of the Black Tide swept in from the far eastern sea—an invasion of shadow, storm-born beasts, or something far stranger. No two stories agree on what marched from the waves… only that it nearly ended all life. Salvation came in the form of a nameless figure remembered only as the First Protector, who waded into the roaring tides and lifted a wall of radiant power across the horizon. The empire calls it the Vaelorian Barrier—the greatest miracle ever gifted to mankind. A thousand years later, the world has forgotten the war. The Barrier stands distant and unseen. And on the lonely eastern coast, the Tower of Enclosure endures storms, centuries, and silence. Arden Vaelorian, heir to a lineage bound to the tower’s deepest secrets, grew up in the shadow of mysteries no one would explain: the sealed chambers beneath the earth, the pale elders fading into ritual and fear, and the quiet tragedies that claimed his family one by one. Trained in ancient arts older than empires, he alone knows how to read the signs others ignore. And the signs have returned. The coast trembles. The air grows heavy. Something shifts in the deep. While the empire laughs off old legends, Arden hears what his ancestors feared most— A whisper rising from the east. A whisper of stirring power.. A whisper of awakening...

The Wasteland Survivor

In 2042, fifteen years after the Red Ash Catastrophe turned Earth into a crimson desert, Kalen Voss is a ghost of the wastelands—lean, sharp-eyed, and haunted by a promise. His mother, a UN medic, died saving scavengers from radiation wolves, whispering one final plea: “Find the North Star Outpost. It has the meds. It has the truth.” His father followed, sacrificing himself to a sandworm to let Kalen escape. Now, Kalen treks toward the Ninth Safe Zone, armed with a car-spring machete and his mother’s Serbian medical emblem, determined to honor their legacy.​ But the Ninth Safe Zone is no refuge. Ruled by Blackstone Security, a ruthless group led by Victor Kim, it’s a den of corruption: Victor sells fake antibiotics laced with sawdust to dying scavengers, while his enforcer Tyson (a 6’5” brute with tattooed skulls) hunts anyone who protests. To infiltrate Blackstone and steal clues to the North Star Outpost, Kalen fakes loyalty—risking his life to uncover Victor’s lies.​ He doesn’t fight alone. He teams with Rico, a quick-witted Mexican smuggler who owes him a debt; Zoe, a rebel doctor grieving her sister’s death from Victor’s fake meds; Lena, a journalist hiding footage of Victor bribing government officials; and Masoud, an Iranian ex-medic who knew Kalen’s mother—and has a map to the outpost… if Kalen helps him reclaim stolen medical supplies. Together, they raid Blackstone’s warehouses, expose the fake pill racket, and discover a chilling truth: Victor is also hunting the North Star Outpost, eager to monopolize its untainted meds and rule the wastelands.​ By Chapter 20, the stakes explode. Kalen’s team blows up Victor’s fake pill stockpiles, but Tyson’s men ambush them. As they flee the Safe Zone, Kalen learns the outpost holds more than meds—it’s home to a vaccine that could heal the radiation-scarred earth. But Victor’s forces already have its coordinates. Will Kalen reach the outpost first… or die trying?​ Every chapter ends with a knife-edge cliffhanger—will Zoe’s radiation cure work? Can Lena leak her footage before Blackstone kills her? For fans of The Hunger Games (rebellion) and Mad Max (gritty survival), this is your next obsession. Subscribe now to see if Kalen keeps his promise… or if the wastelands claim him.
