Hydra Lily & The Swamps of Sulfur

By D J Persinger

In a sprawling desert bunker located deep inside the barren landscape of Ilium's rocky red mountains, sandy dunes, winding box canyons, and stagnant ponds laden with sulfur, the survivors of Brimstone shelter from the residual radiation that still lingers years after the nuclear apocalypse that destroyed the world.

Strange monsters lurk in the shadows, their stomachs gurgling, their gaping jaws viciously gnashing to make a meal of careless wanderers who stray too far from the safety of the cave network housing humanity's last hope.

Hydra Lily is an ordinary seventeen-year-old girl who attends Advanced Academy, and has an extraordinary problem-her best friend Onyx Tomas, and rival newcomer Thermos Agate are competing for her attention. Who will win Hydra's heart? Onyx, the ruggedly handsome bad boy with a lean muscular figure and a penchant for adventure, or Thermos, the cute, sweet, shy guy who just needs a nudge and prod to come out of his shell?

Things take a turn for the worst at the harvest festival dance, when a critical life-sustaining system goes offline. Hydra and her friends must embark on a daring journey to search for a rare metal vital to the colony's survival. Threats lurk behind every corner as these young heroes brave the dangers of scorched badlands and rugged tundra. Ferocious beasts, from the toadicus monsters that inhabit the swamps, to a lair of mutant spiruses, pose dangerous obstacles that threaten to see them eaten alive.

What lies outside the desert? Why hasn't anyone explored beyond the borders? Are the rumors of others true? Is the world a toxic wasteland devoid of life, or could there be lush forests teeming with new adventures? No one suspects that what they are about to discover will change their world forever.
