Publisher's summary
Dia, a survivor hardened by the relentless struggle of a world unmade, finds herself at the heart of a brewing storm. The once tranquil settlement of Erehwon, a beacon of hope amid desolation, faces its gravest threat yet: a local war over the last dregs of Earth’s most precious resource—water. As tensions simmer, an enigmatic visitor arrives, eyeing the clan’s dwindling reserves, setting the stage for a conflict as unforgiving as the barren landscape.
Caught in a vortex of survival and moral ambiguity, Dia is thrust into a battle that she’d hoped to escape. Her resolve is tested as allies become adversaries, and the lines between friend and foe blur in the scramble for control. The ensuing clash is ruthless, leaving the fate of Erehwon and its inhabitants hanging precariously in the balance.
“Barren Sky” weaves a tale of resilience, betrayal, and the unyielding human spirit in the face of calamity. It resonates with the haunting echoes of speculative horror, drawing readers into a post-apocalyptic world where the future is as uncertain as the shifting sands of time.
As Dia stands at the crossroads of destiny, the question looms: Can she rise above the ashes of a crumbled world to save her people? Or will the shadows of a fractured past engulf the last flicker of hope in humanity’s darkest hour?
Embark on this riveting journey through a world undone, where every decision could be the difference between rebirth and extinction. The Forsaken Trilogy’s climactic conclusion awaits—dive in and witness the fate of Erehwon and its defiant guardians.

In a world where everyone has a superpower, his was being a geek. Cue was perfectly happy working as a tech super in the dingy basement of Seattle's Superhero Office. Or at least he was until he got mixed up with a machine that could increase superpowers, foreign agents, and a fire-wielding gang of criminals. Now he's dodging fireballs and using his power to change old tech into something that can keep him alive. Luckily, he has a knack for being a hero.

She survived. That's not good enough. When Ebola struck Manhattan, Ava was a bright high school sophomore. Two years later, she's still kicking. Also hitting, biting, and gouging eyes. Nine out of ten didn't make it. Half the survivors are feral teens like Ava. During the Starve, their gangs terrorized the city. The Army finally stopped the dying, and resettled desirable refugees into the countryside. But no one wants the gang rats, least of all the adults in the city. The generations loathe each other.

The year is 1992. Over twenty years have passed since Soviet General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev was assassinated by a crazed gunman. Since that time, the Soviet Union has been put on a course toward economic success—and war. In the Balkans, Yugoslavia's collapse into ethnic violence draws NATO and the Warsaw Pact to the brink of Armageddon. Armies deploy and fleets maneuver. Political intrigue engulfs Moscow and Washington, and paranoia radiates from the Iron Curtain. In the zero-sum game of Cold War, neither side can afford to blink or back down.

Bau's arrival so soon after my recent victory in securing a long term stay on Earth, was nothing if not disruptive. Or so I thought at the time, but I had no idea how right I really was, 'disruptive' did not begin to cover it. Chaotic? Mad? Dangerous? All seemed better words. Bau's plea for help was not for her, but for 'her humans'. The surviving remnants of the people who once lived in Chicago, a forgotten people who ...

"Humans are the only known intelligent species to actively create 'Found Families' in the form of parents, children, siblings, and more. If a human starts spending more time with you and initiating physical contact, they have probably adopted you."
