In the Eyes of Lilith
After the world ended, it was women who rebuilt society – women who came to run emerging settlements – and women who carefully controlled the few men that weren’t taken by the apocalypse. Any “unclaimed” male is game to be captured by a settlement and used for breeding or labour. Each reader must make her way in a different version of this world, choosing to exploit, assist, or use the men she encounters.

Summary
Ten years after The Collapse, women seized what remained and forged order from ruin. Settlements flourish under disciplined matriarchies. Fertile land is guarded with vigilance. War is extinguished before it sparks. Stability is salvation. The precious few surviving males are branded, tracked, regulated, and carefully controlled to ensure humanity's desperate continuation. Unclaimed males caught in the Wildes are hunted, captured, and broken to the bit. Some shatter. Some submit. All serve.
Tasked with his assessment, a notes irregularities. He yields with calculated precision. He watches with predatory focus. He pauses as if he hears whispers in the silence.
Claiming him would catapult her to power. Breeding him would cement her legacy.
But as she dissects his mysteries, her clinical detachment fractures against something raw and human; and the longer she studies him, the harder it becomes to reduce him to inventory.
In a world built on absolute dominion, she confronts a truth more devastating than collapse itself - that survival without choice is merely another form of extinction. -

Summary
Months after the world was swallowed by the Rotwood, the last settlements survive by carving fragile lives from its edges.
When an impossible wall of trees consumes the only road to Dornau overnight, you're volunteered for a mission nobody expects to return from. Your guide is König: a towering scavenger, soldier, and one of the few people willing to walk beneath the Rotwood's canopy.
The forest is alive, it remembers. And the deeper you travel, the more it begins to speak in voices that should be impossible.
Unfortunately, the road isn't the only thing that's changed.

Summary
There’s a farmhouse on the edge of a loch, nestled against a cluster of old trees, made of stone and thatch, set within a hill that overlooks the crisp, clear water. It’s silent except for the wind and the birds, peacefully disconnected from the rest of the world. That is how they like it. That is how it’s been the last four years until a distress call sounds in the endless silence over the radio.

Summary
It has been years since an outbreak of undead decimated the male population, leading to the collapse of civilization and the rise of matriarchal "havens." Unwilling to be complicit in their enslavement of men for breeding and labor, you live as an independent nomad scavenging resources... until a dying man in restraints stumbles across your path. You could return him back to his haven for a handsome reward, or escort him to safety under your protection - that is, if you can fight the urge to claim him for yourself.
This one's for the girlies who stand on business and sit on faces ;)
