Michelle Simmons watched the eerie yellow fire consume the countryside on her seventeenth birthday. Cut off from home, she’s lost in the desolation that remains. When Michelle is discovered by other survivors under the command of Jason, a ruthless leader with a mysterious past, she fears she may never be freed to search for her missing family. And when a video surfaces showing nightmarish creatures with the ability to mimic human beings, Michelle is sure the end has come. But then Kareem, a teenage boy, arrives in Jason’s camp claiming to have lost all memory except one: there is a city nearby, a city that holds the secret to the attacks that shattered Michelle’s world. He can take her there, if she’s willing to risk leaving Jason’s camp behind. What Michelle doesn’t know is that there are other, more sinister secrets hiding in the scarred city. And that Kareem might not be what he claims to be. Daughter of Dust is the first volume in the Book of the Huntress series by speculative fiction author Joshua David Bellin.

After their fatal confrontation with the Skaldi in the Pennsylvania woodlands, Michelle and her fellow survivors travel west in search of a safe haven untouched by the creatures. In her case, Michelle hopes to find the mountains where she and Kareem dreamed of starting a new life. What she finds instead is a country turned into a wasteland, with the Skaldi rapidly replacing the human population. When Michelle learns that she is pregnant, she seeks refuge in the western desert, where she is welcomed by a group of military scientists occupying a heavily fortified base. But there are those among the scientists who are working to develop an even deadlier strain of Skaldi, and Michelle must fight to protect her colony—and her unborn child—before this new terror is unleashed on the world. Dark’s Dominion is the second volume in the Book of the Huntress series by speculative fiction author Joshua David Bellin.

Sixteen-year-old Aleka travels the western desert with Survival Colony 9, a small group of renegades seeking shelter from the Skaldi that have overrun the land. The daughter of Diana the Huntress and a part-Skaldi father, Aleka was left as a baby with the woman she knows as Auntie, who swore to protect her from those who would exploit her unique ancestry. Unaware of what she is, Aleka spends her days searching the tunnels beneath the desert and dreaming of freedom from Auntie's domineering rule. Then Aleka meets a desert nomad calling himself Aesir, who proposes that she join his band of teen runaways in a daring plan to defeat the Skaldi for good. What Aleka doesn't know is that the Skaldi high command inhabiting the city by the great salt lake have a plan of their own, one they cannot put into effect without reclaiming the girl who shares their genetic history. Their final assault will come soon, and Aleka will need to discover her own powers with the aid of an unlooked-for ally if her colony is to survive. Scarred City is the final volume in the Book of the Huntress series by speculative fiction author Joshua David Bellin.
