The Fight for Humanity Begins Now
The future won’t wait. Dive into a post-apocalyptic thriller where survival is just the beginning.
The world ended thirty-five years ago.
Now the real fight begins.
​
Lyla Richards thought survival was the hardest part. She was wrong.
​
In the ruins of a broken America, she leads 200 survivors, scraping out life in the shadow of extinction. But then theyarrive—faceless, merciless, not of this world.
The Unwelcome.
​
Their mission is simple: erase what's left. And first on their list? The Cursed—children between eight and eighteen. No mercy. No negotiation. Just the kill.
​
As the attacks escalate, Lyla uncovers a terrifying truth. The Cursed aren’t victims. They’re a threat. Or a weapon. Maybe both.
​
Now Lyla and her teenage sons must race to uncover the secret behind the Unwelcome, the Cursed, and a prophecy that could shatter what’s left of reality.
​
The countdown has begun. The future is bleeding. And the Unwelcome aren’t just here to destroy—they’re here to finish what the asteroid started.
​
If you love high-stakes dystopian thrillers with fierce family bonds, unrelenting suspense, and the faintest flicker of hope, this will not just entertain you—it will haunt you.
