Radiant Decay

The world ended in light. A single radiant pulse surged across the planet, twisting DNA and collapsing every structure of civilization. Cities fell silent, governments vanished, and the old rules of humanity dissolved into ash. In their place rose new beings—mutated, evolved, or broken—each fighting for survival in a world reshaped by bio-energy and decay. Among the scattered survivors is a young outcast whose mutation is unlike any other. While others transform into horrors or gain unstable abilities, he carries a rare, controlled spark—one that could restore balance or plunge the world into deeper ruin. As factions rise, warlords claim territory, and corrupted creatures roam the wasteland, he becomes both target and symbol. But power born from devastation has a price. And in a world where the line between salvation and destruction blurs, every choice he makes will echo through the ruins of the old world. Radiant Decay: Book One is a dark, atmospheric science-fantasy dystopia combining mutation, survival, and the struggle to rebuild in a world that has evolved beyond humanity. Perfect for fans of The Darkest Minds, Fallen Sky, Shadowrun, and Annihilation.
