Summary: This new cli-fi epic chronicles a future NYC wracked by climate change and follows the individuals who must make the most of what remains to survive. It's 2110, the Earth's glaciers have melted, and there's no climate fix in sight. As refugees stream inland from the inundated coasts, social structures and national economies are stressed to the point of fracture. Food production falters. Pandemics rage. Rising sea level and devastating superstorms have flooded much of Manhattan and wrecked its infrastructure. Its residents have mostly fled, but a few die-hards have bet their survival on the hope that digging in and staying local is a safer strategy. As the weather worsens, can a damaged population of poor folk, artists, misfits, and loners work out their differences in time to create a sustainable long-term society? In a lawless city, where the well-armed rich have appropriated the high ground, can an ex-priest find a middle road between non-violence and all-out war? The lives of his downtown band of leftovers will depend on it. Sheltering among them, a young girl named Glimmer struggles to regain a past lost to trauma. As her memory returns, she finds she must choose who and how to be, and who and what to believe in, even if it means giving up a love she has only recently found herself able to embrace.

Summary: Wah’Lor’s once untested peace has collapsed under the burden of violence and war that bled over from Kep Four. When the body of a former comrade is found and artifacts are discovered beneath the soil, Mason is thrust into a mounting storm, threatening to undo the complicated balance between humanity and the Kla’Wah sects. A frantic mission to find the fallen Ark unearths ancient technologies that shake everyone’s past and leave their future in question. To make things worse, Dolofónos and his Uprisers spread their vengeance across the planet and draw its native inhabitants into their crosshairs. Alliances that General Bentley, Mason, and their Armada counterparts worked so hard to establish fracture to ignite conflict between the Vee’Sal, Dah’Sel, and humans. The monsoon season drowns Wah’Lor beneath gray skies and stokes flames of vengeance. Upriser attacks are methodical, forcing the hands of Vee’Sal leaders to call for action against the Dah’Sel. Caught in the middle, Mason and her squad must make impossible choices while navigating a fractured world they still hope to call home. In this third and electrifying installment of the WolfStar series, Civil Unrest explores the fragility of loyalty, the consequences of forbidden love, and what it takes to survive on a planet hovering on the threshold of collapse. Humanity must traverse with caution. Their future is balanced on the razor’s edge of war and peace that, if tipped, could drown the planet in blood before the monsoon can do it with rain.
