Frostpunk

After the world is consumed by a volcanic winter, the last flicker of civilization gathers around a massive Generator in the frozen ruins of the north. New London is born—not from hope, but from necessity. Tasked with keeping the city alive, a reluctant leader known only as The Captain navigates a brutal landscape of famine, fear, and rebellion. As coal runs low and temperatures drop to inhuman depths, they must decide who lives, who works, and who is left to die.

But in a world where warmth is power and dissent is treason, survival demands impossible choices. Frostpunk is a bleak, political survival drama about the collapse of morality under the weight of leadership—and what happens when saving the future means destroying everything you once believed in.

When he’s called back to the school to keep an eye on CJ Hart, a cocky, gifted freshman QB, Eli sees a chance to matter again.

He sees himself in CJ—and he sees the crash coming. As Eli wrestles with his own demons, he has to choose whether to play along for his second chance—or blow the whistle and risk ending CJ’s shot, just like his was ended.

Plague Me Not

As shadows deepen, Elen sets out on a harrowing pilgrimage across lost kingdoms and shattered sanctuaries to seek the Vault of Threads, an ancient temple said to hold the memory of the Lumen itself.
