Tainted

Some secrets are better left buried deep underground.

Seventeen-year-old Elle Winters lost everything when the day of impact transformed Earth’s surface into an icy wasteland. All she has ever known are the cold and artificial confines of the underground fallout shelter she calls home.

In the ARC, no one is safe. Ruled over by the mysterious Council, ruthless officials roam the halls and everyone lives in fear of failing their annual testing. Those that do are taken away without a word of goodbye and never seen again.

No one dares to voice the forbidden questions that linger on their lips. But Elle is about to experience her own personal apocalypse. With nothing left to lose, she will risk everything to uncover the truth about the Tainted.

Enter a post-apocalyptic future where the secrets are as deep and dark as the fallout shelter humanity survives in.
