Remainer: Remnant Sunshine

Remnant Sunset is a haunting post-collapse novel about the ones who weren't chosen.

Years after the rich and powerful fled Earth aboard the exodus ships, those left behind endure not just the slow death of a planet, but the unbearable knowledge that their lives were never meant to continue. The sun has become erratic, the atmosphere fractures more with each passing season, and the soil no longer yields. Yet people remain.

Beth, Johnny, and Carmen are three strangers drawn together by chance and the desperate need to protect a young girl named Marlene-a child who becomes their reason to keep going when everything else has turned to ash. As the sky ignites with solar flares and the ground fractures beneath their feet, the group flees collapsing cities, toxic air, and the quiet madness of knowing they are walking the edge of extinction.

In a world without rescue, what matters anymore? Survival? Memory? Dignity?

As the magnetic shield around the Earth dissolves, and tectonic violence reshapes the continents, Remnant Sunset becomes less a story about what can be saved and more a meditation on how to meet the end with choice, love, and a refusal to vanish quietly. Each chapter strips away the illusion of safety, asking not who will survive, but what remains in a person when there is nothing left to live for-except each other.

With prose as sparse and sharp as the world it describes, this novel explores grief, resilience, and the brutal beauty of staying behind. Part elegy, part endurance, Remnant Sunset delivers a final, searing look at the humanity left after the escape ships have gone.
