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.

With this second opportunity, Kailen vows to never be weak again,in a world where strength determines everything, he will rise to the very peak, so that no one will ever control his life and his fate will be in his own hands. He will stand at the very Pinnacle of the universe! Disclaimer: This is purely a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. If you are looking for a “goody two shoes” protagonist with a hero complex, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. This is an extremely fast paced novel , and the protagonist of this novel is someone who becomes absurdly overpowered. He is also not the usual person who makes decisions that fit the hero complex genre. the villian and antihero tags are not for show. Note for Readers(Please do not skip this): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes, it may remind you of popular works you’ve read—but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique blend to his path. I included the shadow affinity as a nod to some of my favorite novels, but this is not a copy. The journey, characters, and world are entirely my own.
