America broke apart in 2012. Eighteen years later, Louis Collins, the son of the Supreme President of the Dominion of the Pacific, is about to embark on an unexpected journey across postwar North America, a continent filled with militaristic republics, fanatical theocracies, and communist warlords. At twenty, he already has everything the world can offer: beauty, money, fame, and privilege. Yet when the world strips everything away from him, what is left of Louis Collins? This is a harem romance, an exploration of the post-American world, and a story about people choosing each other. What to expect: A male-POV political adventure with heavy romance as its copilot Complex and flawed characters Story progression driven by dialogue A safe journey at the beginning that becomes increasingly dangerous over time Direct depictions of sex and violence A progression from a traditional M/F romance to the founding of a harem family Rival regimes with distinct cultures and ideologies A realistic near-future world What NOT to expect: A system or stats Conventional wasteland survival Supernatural elements
