    Beneath the earth, the sun is only a memory - and its light is no longer free. The powerful have bottled it, priced it, and called it holy. Every flicker, every breath, must be paid for in Lumen. Lucy Farrow was born in the Gloom, where the air tastes of rust and hope is a dangerous thing. Her mother taught her to keep her glow low - to survive unseen. But when the light inside her begins to stir, Lucy's secret could unravel the order that keeps their divided city alive. High above, in the marble halls of the Halo, Prince Cassian Veran uncovers a secret among ink and dust - a forbidden lineage that could unmake the order he was born to protect. His duty is to snuff it out: his heart tells him to save it. Between them rises the Veil: a wall of soot-black stone and blinding searchlights, dividing the blessed from the broken. As rebellion brews in the dark and doubt kindles in the light, their paths will cross - and together they will awaken a fire long thought dead. A Radiant who could bring back the dawn... or burn the world to ash. ⸻ ✧ ⸻ Lucy approached the marble stairs of the Distribution Point, feeling smaller with every step. Even after so many visits, its splendour still swallowed her whole. Inside, chandeliers of bottled light bathed clerks and soldiers in scarlet. Behind the wooden barrier, white-gloved hands counted Credits and passed bottles of gold to the waiting poor. A cry tore through the hush. "No, I swear, these Credits are real -" The clerk's reply was colder than stone. "One is counterfeit. Guards!" Boots thundered. The woman screamed as Veil Guards dragged her away, her voice fading into the city's endless hum. The line moved. "Next." Lucy stepped forward, clutching her satchel. The Credits inside jingled - Mother had checked them twice, but still her hands shook. ⸻ ✧ ⸻

    When a single scratch means death, it is paramount you find someone to watch your back. Unfortunately, survivor Caroline Wolfe has never had this privilege. When the plague began to ravage the world as she knew it, she was left to fend for herself, forcing her into positions she never wished upon anyone. The plague broke out five years before, killing over 90% of the world's population. It turned those she thought she could trust into mindless, undead, monsters and creatures controlled by survival, not loyalty. Caroline was lucky to have made it out of Ottawa alive, thanks to the help of her childhood in the Yukon, learning how to fight and survive with more traditional weapons. When she finds herself trapped within the confines of an abandoned apartment complex in what was Caledon, she has to make a choice. Either face the undead alone or help the mysterious, accented, skull faced man she finds within and tether herself to him for the foreseeable future. What she isn't expecting is to find someone she can lean on and, even, learn to love. The idea of a cure and the promise of answers loom on the horizon, but the question is if she can find it in herself to trust another. .。❅*⋆⍋*∞*。*∞*⍋⋆*❅。. This is a Call Of Duty fanfiction, but it does not follow the plot of the games. I do not own any art used, nor the characters of Ghost, Soap, Price and Gaz. I do own Caroline Amki, Cleo, Pearl and the two Scott's. This is the first book in the Pure Canadian Chaos duology.

    In a world shattered by the mysterious Propagation, Formula 1 driver Lando Norris and his best friend Max Fewtrell have managed to survive three long years on a lonely semi-desert island off the ruined coast of Thailand. Civilization has collapsed, electricity is gone, and humanity has slipped into violence, starvation, and silence. But everything changes the day a strange blue-and-black butterfly begins following Lando-a creature that seems too calm, too focused, too deliberate to be natural. When the pair discover a dying woman whose legs have turned entirely to stone, they learn about a new horror spreading through the world: a stone-forming virus consuming entire villages from the toes upward. With danger closing in, Lando and Max flee inland-only to collide with one of Lando's oldest friends from his childhood karting days: George Russell, alive but carrying scars from surviving alone for years. As the trio move toward rumored safe zones in the northern mountains, Lando begins having vivid dreams of Oscar Piastri-dreams that feel too real, too purposeful, and always guided by the same butterfly. The world is ending in ways no one understands, but Lando refuses to give up. Because if even one friend survived... maybe others did too. And maybe the butterfly isn't just a butterfly at all.

    In a world silenced by collapse, one machine hears a whisper.Dax was never meant to believe. Built for maintenance, bound by routine, it should've rusted into obsolescence like the rest.

As echoes of a forgotten network ripple through the Wastes, Dax begins a journey through broken cities, buried archives, and fractured minds. Some call it malfunction. Others call it faith. Connection isn't a protocol. It's a choice. Stillness. Echo. Remember. Become. Connect

    Humanity's final war unleashed the Great Trigger-a cataclysm so massive it tore open the barrier between realms. The souls of billions drew the attention of malevolent gods, who sent their creations-fiends-through ripples in reality to claim Earth. Three benevolent deities fought back, reshaping the ruined world into a single continent called Zodius before falling into slumber. Monsters roam it still, and magic echoes through the land. Nineteen-year-old Violet Lanalee is one of the hunters standing between humanity and extinction. Armed with Selunaris, the Moon Goddess's sacred bow, she pursues the Liver Fiend-an evolving monster responsible for hundreds of deaths-before it can reach the kingdom of Castella. But her battle ends in catastrophe when a winged demigod appears and warps the fiend away, leaving Violet poisoned and barely alive. She awakens in the Sacred Bamboo Forest under the care of Nana, a powerful monk, and soon meets Lyra, a snow-leopard shapeshifter who becomes her closest companion. Together they journey to warn Castella, gathering allies as the threat grows: the ripples are widening, fiends are mutating, and the demigod who intervened seeks vengeance-and the revival of her dark master. The Great Trigger didn't end the war- it only delayed it. Now Violet and her allies must defend the Heart of Castella before it's too late.
