Verdant

3 part book series (Book 1 of 3 published here)

In the shambles of a war torn world, the last twenty five percent of the world cowers in fear of meek survival. Spread throughout the decaying cities and remnants of what used to be civilization. Only to leave power in the hands of those who use it for sport. A war caused from curiosity and power, creating monsters with unbelievable abilities. Engineered super humans. Scientists competing to win an un-winnable war. Nuclear warfare deemed a fight of the past, this war fought with the children of our countries. Children who'd be used as power chips in a dying world after being forced to fight and subjected to horrifying tests and trials. Civilian survivors group in camps under little concern of the facilities who govern over the scattered remnants of the land. Living in fear of what they once called their children. Of the people who control these dangerous experiments that still poses the face and actions of a human, revealing what happens when the worst in us is brought to the light.

Skyler is a hunter getting by on her own. She survives by herself in the woods some five years after the war quelled. Living what feels like a broken life, with the short feeling of loss and that she was missing something. Something that began unraveling the day she catches a boy by the top of her arrow. Someone who slowly revels everything she had been missing. Parts of her that she wasn't even aware she had been missing. She has no clear recollection of her past, but has some urge to protect this boy with her life.
Ryan pulls Skyler into unknown troubles reveling the true nature of the organizations that destroyed the world. That science was the one who ended it... and keeps tearing humans and experiments apart. And that Skyler was a part of it all.
