Celestial Plague

Four friends only have each other to rely on. The SARJ virus has infected most of humanity, splitting those left into Bitten and Unbitten. Sixteen year old Shannon Pennylove is the first of her friends to get infected and desperately doesn’t want to pass it on. Sixteen year old Ashleigh Warren just wants to spend the rest of her days with her father and his religious sect. Fifteen year old Jenna Carlton wants to get as far away from the Bitten as possible. Seventeen year old Raya Oovo only wants to keep her friends safe and stay together. Things only get harder when robots that used to do domestic chores for humanity suddenly turn on the Bitten and strange humanoid creatures start prowling the streets.

The world as we know it is over and all it takes to survive is your humanity.

The SARJ virus is an epidemic that is quickly overtaking an already broken world. Dividing it between the Bitten and Unbitten and forever changing the course of human history. When Shannon becomes infected with the virus her entire life changes forever.

For Shannon to make it to Nirvana she’ll have to spread the virus. But can she live with the consequences of those actions?

The urge to spread the virus is almost overpowering but infecting others comes at high cost; not just to her humanity but the innate powers she was born with. With every bite she loses a little of her power and a little bit of herself as well.

To stem the tide of Bitten rampaging through their cities the Unbitten release robots on them. Cold, calculating killing machines that don’t understand the term mercy are now exterminating people like Shannon.

Will she be able to survive the onslaught, protect her friends, and hold onto her humanity all at the same time?

The survivors seek Heaven, but sanctuary comes with a price, one that could cost them everything.

Ashleigh has now been infected in an effort to save her life. Feeling betrayed and distraught over being Bitten causes friction among her and the other survivors which threatens to tear them apart. And when she starts having visions that show her the only way to Heaven is to infect more people, will it be the end of them all?

Danger is around every turn for Raya who discovers a mysterious man wielding multiple strange powers while escaping Warren. Who is this man? Why does he have her sister’s tail?

To escape the control of Warren, Cindy and Jenna decide to do the unthinkable… Head into The Rot. Will they find the secret truths about the infection there, or will they only become victims of The Rot?

The world is slowly being swallowed up by monsters and disease.

Ashleigh awakens with no memories of her past and becomes a pawn. The man who created the Sarjs calls himself a god and forces them to do his bidding, including her. She leaves her friends behind to follow him, but a part of her is still in there, fighting to break free from his control once and for all.

As Jenna's injuries worsen, Cindy must find a healer who can save her. However, the cost of her survival is a painful sacrifice that leaves her permanently scarred.

Raya and Shannon go after Ashleigh, only to find that The Rot is spreading. It’s killing everything in its path and making the Sarjs fall ill before they too are consumed by it.

While Shannon and Raya try to stay alive amidst the chaos, Ashleigh and her rogue Sarjs band together to take down the god and reclaim their freedom. But can they take defeat him before The Rot kills them first?

Between the spreading Sarjs and impending doom of The Rot, the world continues to crumble into ruin.

Ashleigh, Shannon, and Raya have now all succumbed to the virus. When Jenna and Cindy escape to a forest, they come across a girl who can see into the future. She tells them that Jenna can stop The Rot with the combined powers of herself and three others. However, their situation becomes even more dire when the group discovers an alarming new type of Sarj, one that resurrects with The Rot.

Raya, Ashleigh, and Shannon are forced into a new area as The Rot slowly kills them. There, the land is rotting from dingy, Sarj polluted water. The three of them battle sick Sarjs in an effort to stop the pollution and reclaim the land.

Tensions rise when Jenna’s group reach the source of The Rot. With the group dwindling by the minute, Jenna swears revenge on the remaining members. As deceit spreads, so does pain. With little hope for the future as more and more are turned into Sarjs, they are forced to make difficult decisions to salvage what’s left.
