Rotwind

The world didn’t die in a single stroke. It withered, spore by spore, until the new order rose from the decay—built on a lie. Morgan Reed has survived the Rotwind plague, the collapse of civilization, and the brutal regime rising from its ashes. As a courier, he crosses fungal wastelands no one else dares to enter. He follows a simple code: deliver the package, protect the truth, stay alive. But when the New American Republic orders him to transport a sealed capsule across a fractured America, the code breaks. The secrecy is suffocating. The sender, Director Langford, leaves only destruction in his wake. When a murdered scientist’s final message reveals the truth, Morgan realizes the capsule isn’t just classified. It’s catastrophic. It contains a weapon engineered to reignite the plague—a system designed to wipe out an entire settlement under the guise of humanitarian aid. Betrayed. Hunted. Marked for execution. Morgan has only one option: Run. Alongside Vivian "Vex" Song, a guarded tech with her own scars, and Ghost, a pre-collapse war machine with absolute loyalty, Morgan races across a landscape twisted by fungal storms and lawless zones ruled by corporate kill teams. Every safehouse could be a trap. Every step brings them closer to the conspiracy at the rotten core of the new world. From the neon shadows of the Free City of Dulles to the fortified Monolith garrison in Pittsburgh, or the snow-capped peaks of Colorado, they uncover a chilling truth: the Rotwind was never an accident. And the next phase will be global. The clock is ticking. The world is watching. And the hunters are already closing in.
