POV characters: Zella, Tanna, Ambrena, Rusty, and Corandra

Klapit is failing. Travel barred beyond it. New rules limit daily life. Zella dreams of the peace of her childhood. Tensions rise as the villas are turned away from Klapit, rather than stay and dig among the remainders of their ancestors. She must fight an ancient evil, so long forgotten, it only exists in the tales told round the campfire.

Klapit is long empty. The new Shelpit, not quite a gen old, is now nearly empty. Metal for tools almost gone. Scraps are all that are left. Rusty and Ambrena struggle to find their place in Shells. A community they feel doesn't want them. Corandra knows they don't want her. Everything she touches crumbles. The box she found spreads a devastating illness. She abandons her villa for a cure.

Author's Note:
Rating: R.
Profanity: None.
Romance: Light, Alluded to.
Sex: Acknowledged. Violent acts acknowledged as well.
Violence: Threat of violence. Fear of violence. Earthquakes. Male violence against women and society. Very much a slow moving war.
