Perdition
The surface gives you eight minutes.
After that, it takes everything.
A year after the collapse, humanity survives beneath the earth in Haven, a sealed city built on silence, control, and strict survival laws. Every breath is measured. Every sound is regulated.
The rules are simple:
go up, retrieve what you can, and return before the air changes.
Ash Fryxell is a Runner. He knows the limits. He's lived them.
But something has changed.
People are returning on time... and still breaking.
Not violently. Not visibly.
Just enough to be dismissed.
The system calls it error. Contained. Explained. Forgotten. Ash knows it isn't.
At the centre of it is something Haven was never meant to allow:
An unregulated pregnancy. A child that shouldn't exist.
As leadership tightens control and prepares to eliminate the threat, Ash begins to see what's really happening.
The surface isn't just killing anymore, it's learning.
And if it can understand the rules that kept humanity alive, those rules are no longer protection.
Now Ash must choose:
Protect the civilisation that raised him... or expose the truth that could destroy it.
Because if the child survives, Haven dies.
Perfect for readers of:
Dark, high-concept dystopian thrillersPsychological sci-fi with moral conflictSurvival stories driven by tension and consequenceCustomer Reviews
