The Ark of the Wasteland
A hopepunk post-apocalyptic novella - out now!
In a dead world, the most dangerous thing you can carry is hope.
For twenty years, scientist Kai has preserved humanity's future in his underground genetic vault—the literal seeds of hope. His solitary existence shatters when Raya, a fierce mountain warrior, breaks in with a blade to his throat—and a map to a rumored land where fertile soil still remains.
To get there, she needs his knowledge. He needs her strength to survive the journey. Together, they must cross the brutal Wasteland, hunted by merciless Rangers. As dangers close in from all sides, their fragile pact turns into something neither expected.
He holds the key to the future. She might be leading him to their doom.
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 out now.
Thanks for reading, I hope these stories resonate with you.
