The Refuge
Price range: $0.00 through $5.99
Three families; three deadly dreams.
Coryl must decide which dream to defend. In the world of Xianova, Christians must be Pure, or be Blessed — with a cryogenic blessing from which few return.
Tahni and Nyk have deceived the system for years, culminating in a daring escape plan for their autistic son. But in the process of smuggling vital information to her husband, Tahni’s research party is slaughtered by raiders in the Faquir jungle. Between raiders and mutated predators, she’ll be dead soon too, unless Coryl intervenes.
Kurn’s only option to rescue his frozen brother and save his son is to sacrifice himself, and place his hopes on Coryl and an experimental vaccine.
Coryl could help either of them — at the probable cost of reuniting with his own family — and his life.
Which nightmare should he choose?

“The Refuge is a gripping, high-stakes story about desperate times call for desperate measures. In an alarmingly plausible dystopian future, the characters face all kinds of pressures on every side. Yet while complex in their own ways, they’re mostly sympathetic – mostly. Dangers abound, both expected and terrifying, and Porter’s descriptions of the forest and more threats than you can count create intense suspense. With white-collar authorities ready to erase you, bandit gangs ready to kill or sell you, and a wilderness filled with teeth, claws, and tendrils, only divine intervention can satisfy all these debts. Get ready for a white-knuckle page-turner!”
