Azure: Gunner

This isn’t a story about a Chosen One…

Just the tale of a girl with a burning desire to escape her backwater town – and the strength of will to never back down from the dangers ahead.  In a world full of monsters, with a System shaped by long-dead politicians, Az will blaze her own path.

Come along for the ride as Az discovers the joys of found family and firepower.  In this dystopian future, power and freedom are paid for with blood, sweat, and cold hard cash.  When Az starts to get pulled into the machinations of the corrupt and wealthy, will she have the strength to stand up for her beliefs or need to keep her head down just to survive?

Sometimes, there's no right answer...

"Fallout + fantasy, fucking stroke of genius that I can't believe no one else has thought up."  – reader review
