After the world burned and dark magic summoned dinosaurs that overran every continent, survival is a daily calculation of teeth, collapse, and scarce power.
High above a ruined European city, analytical Japanese engineer Kenji fights to keep the numbers straight while a pack of Velociraptors closes in. He prefers silence, precision, and zero complications. Then Australian mechanic Lila drops into his carefully controlled isolation with a wrench, a reckless grin, and the absolute refusal to die quietly.
She is sunshine and bad jokes in the middle of absolute devastation. He is control and quiet intensity that has kept him alive this long. Forced onto the same crumbling rooftop, their sharp banter turns into reluctant teamwork as the deadliest hunters on Earth test every escape route. One wrong step means becoming prey. One right connection might mean something neither of them planned for.
As the pack tightens its circle and the city continues its slow collapse, Kenji and Lila must turn clashing styles into burning chemistry if they want to see another dawn. Trust is a liability. Desire is a distraction. Yet every near-death leap and every charged silence makes both harder to ignore.
In a world ruled by fangs and fury, can two stubborn survivors risk the one variable that might save them or finish them both?
***
Twenty years after nuclear fire swept the globe, less than ten percent of humanity is still breathing.
What finished the job was something nobody anticipated. A ruthless faction spanning the Middle East and Europe unleashed forbidden dark magic to summon a dinosaur army, a weapon built for dominance that immediately stopped cooperating. The prehistoric beasts broke free, crossed oceans, and finished what the bombs started.
The world that's left is ancient and lethal and running on completely different rules.
This interconnected series follows diverse survivors across that ruined planet, each standalone novel dropping into a new pocket of what remains. A fresh apex predator. A new relationship dynamic. The kind of consuming, feral passion that surfaces when civilization's guardrails are gone and two people have nothing left to lose but each other.
The ancient world has returned. Dare to survive it.
