“But what are we without dreams?”

The vicars of the Temple of Light brought peace, ushering in an era of blessed simplicity. For ten centuries they have kept the madness at bay with “temple magic,” and by eliminating forever the rush of progress that nearly caused the destruction of everything.

Childhood friends, Orah, Nathaniel, and Thomas have always lived in the tiny village of Little Pond, longing for more from life but unwilling to challenge the rigid status quo. When they're cast into the prisons of Temple City, they discover a terrible secret that launches the three on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in jeopardy, for a truth from the past awaits that threatens the foundation of the Temple. If they reveal that truth, they might once again release the potential of their people.

Yet they would also incur the Temple’s wrath, as it is written: “If there comes among you a prophet saying, ‘Let us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the Light.”

"Prepare for impact with this action-packed and thought-provoking apocalyptic novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat." –Sublime Book Review

To cope with everyday life, neurodivergent Kat is a secret binge drinker, and jilted Ryan is a workaholic. Disillusioned, neither does more than go through the motions of living-then comes the asteroid.

Warned that a planet-killing asteroid is on a collision course with Earth, acquaintances Kat and Ryan join forces in an effort to survive. Mere hours before impact, they race toward the safety of Ryan's inherited South Dakota bunker, encountering chaos. A last-ditch effort to nuke the asteroid only manages to fragment it into chunks causing multiple strikes.

Earthquakes, fire, and volcanic ashfall assail Kat and Ryan, who turn to each other for solace. Kat finds someone kind who values her differences and Ryan finds himself falling for Kat's pluck and quick-thinking. Though jaded, they learn to trust and rely on one another.

Attempting to survive the onslaught of their new world, Kat and Ryan must reach the bunker before imminent food shortages and catastrophic climate change cause society to further unravel.

The Edge of Life shows that survival can include falling in love. With steamy romance and non-stop action, this is one thrilling apocalypse road trip you shouldn't miss.

From the safety of the Deep Hole Sanctuary, two people are sent to the surface for the first time in nine years. Rumors, tales, and expectations for the world above are that they will find a desolate wasteland filled with mutated animals and bands of roving hordes of starving people. It's a death sentence. The book is about the events, of course, but more so about the people and how they evolve to cope with life on the surface, one they have not seen since age seven. What they encounter, how they handle each crisis, and their growth as they survive in a world unknown and unexpected. Clary's books always contain unexpected twists and turns, so the reader never knows where the story is going--and that is part of the fun.

The world has been shattered. Disease and war have ravaged the Earth. A resurgent Germany once again threatens Europe, and the United States is engaged in the Middle-East while New York sits, an empty, radioactive ruin. The city of Miami has become a virtual prison, home to the worst life has to offer.

Tom Wilner lives on the outskirts of this forsaken realm. He's what this future passes off as a police officer. With his family shattered, Wilner is just a pale version of the police hero he once was. When a chance encounter in a rundown roadhouse erupts in violence, Wilner is forced to step in.

His exploration into the violence of that evening leads him onto the path of two ancient warring races. They have been manipulating power and control on Earth for centuries, and are about to enter into a battle for ultimate supremacy. Unless Tom Wilner puts an end to their fury.

- From Kindle Storyteller Award Winner, G J Ogden -

A war-torn world. A fallen starship. A secret that could change everything.

Ethan guards a fragile settlement clinging to survival in a shattered, post-apocalyptic land. But when a mysterious spacecraft crashes beyond the walls, he uncovers a truth that upends everything he thought he knew.

The off-worlders aren’t just visitors. They’re desperate. Their dying civilization is searching for a Planetsider—someone born of this broken world, carrying a rare power hidden in their blood.

As rival factions close in, Ethan leaves the safety of home and is thrust into a brutal conflict that spans generations and worlds. The deeper he digs, the more his past unravels, and the more the fate of two civilizations rests on his shoulders.

One man. Two worlds. A choice that could save them all… or doom them forever.

The Planetsider is a gripping, high-stakes sci-fi adventure packed with action, mystery, and heart. Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Dune, and Mass Effect.

The war for the future begins now. Start reading today.
