The Feeding Season

Humanity’s last refuge is failing.
And survival comes at a terrible price.

For centuries, the Fortress has been the only sanctuary, shielding humanity from the devastating storms that ravage the Earth’s surface. But the ancient structure is crumbling, resources are scarce, and life inside its walls is slowly descending into misery and deprivation.

To prevent collapse, a ruthless law is enforced.

Every year, at the start of the Feeding Season, all 17-year-old boys must leave the safety of the Fortress and descend into the deadly world outside.

This year, it’s Bars Ibis’s turn.

Along with his mates, Bars is forced into a hostile wasteland, crammed into mech survival suits pieced together from useless scraps. Beyond the walls, the storms are relentless, the land is unforgiving, and the dangers are far worse than the Ancient books ever warned.

If they survive long enough, they may return as Heroes.

If they fail, they become just another sacrifice to a broken system.

But as Bars fights to stay alive, he begins to uncover truths the Fortress has buried for generations—truths that could change what survival really means.

Dark, intense, and relentlessly gripping, The Feeding Season is a YA dystopian survival novel perfect for fans of stories about sacrifice, courage, and the cost of keeping humanity alive.
