The Kid & The Unlucky One: A Sci-Fi Survival Novella Kindle Edition

Lark is a hopeless romantic, an optimist, a head-in-the-clouds dreamer. And who wouldn’t be if they lived their entire life underground? Born on a planet where the plant life is as aggressive as the men and women who survive among it, Lark finds himself, for the first time in his 15 years of life, traversing the foreign, above-ground world in an effort to stop his true love from being married off, while trying to evade man-eating plants, giant insects, and the exhaustive pursuit of an enormous, vengeful, sentient tree god.Serren is a ruthless survivor, a realist, an opportunistic killer. And he had to be, having spent his entire 30 years of life above ground. He had prided himself on never compromising for anyone or feeling pity for those who didn’t know how to survive in the only world he knew. Yet, one lapse in judgment… one foolish gesture of generosity… and he finds himself burdened with the guilt of escorting Lark through the harrows of this world, all under the auspices of young love.But no good deed goes unpunished, something Serren knows quite well. And young love, while sweet, can also dangerously throw caution to the wind, putting everyone around it in danger.Perfect for fans of romantic sci-fi, dangerous journeys, and unlikely bonds forged by fire. A heart-pounding, slow-burn adventure about survival, sacrifice, and the reckless pursuit of love in a world that doesn't believe in it. Read more
