The Ark of the Wasteland
A hopepunk post-apocalyptic novella—exclusive early access
In a world reduced to dust, two outcasts carry the seeds of hope for humanity.
For twenty years, scientist Kai nurtured the last living plants in his underground shelter. His solitary existence shatters when Raya, a fierce mountain warrior, breaks in with a blade to his throat—and a map leading to a rumored paradise she calls Oasis. As dangers close in from all sides, their fragile alliance evolves into something deeper.
Perfect for fans of Station Eleven, and The Last of Us, this post-apocalyptic adventure weaves raw action with a deeply human story of resilience, renewal, and unexpected connection.
About Me
I'm Yuri, and through my stories I'm trying to make sense of this beautiful, chaotic and sometimes scary world. I'm fascinated by how technology changes the landscape around us while our messy human emotions remain stubbornly the same.
My debut collection, Calculated Infinity, explores such a technologically transformed yet strangely familiar future. My second book, The Ark of the Wasteland—a hopepunk post-apocalyptic novella—is coming in August 2025.
Thanks for reading, I hope these stories resonate with you.
