    About this ebook

    Surrounded and trapped in the tunnels beneath the ancient ruined city, Kaela and the others must locate Helena and find their way out before they are overcome by the darkness that pursues them.

    The Outcast and the Survivor is a chapter-series that follows Kaela, a princess of the mythical kingdom of Kalepo. After her father's sudden death, Kaela is exiled from the kingdom by her older sister Mariam, who claims their father's throne within moments of his passing. By being made an outcast, Kaela is forced not only to say goodbye to her homeland, but also to all of civilization. Kalepo is known only to itself, meaning that Kaela should expect to find a world devoid of humanity beyond the kingdom's borders, but because of something her father whispered to her on his deathbed, she knows that there is more out there, a world of dark secrets for her to discover.

    The series was originally released one chapter at a time at the start of each month, but after Part I, comprising chapters 1-12, was finished in March 2016, it has transformed into a more standard series with longer releases. Part II, which comprises several more chapters, will be released in the summer of 2016.

    Trevor A. A. Evans

    Trevor wrote a story for himself when he was young divided into three parts: go to college, become a lawyer, and be happy. But when the first part was done, he stood at the edge of a cliff, staring down into the despairing depths of part two, and thought, "Nahhh." Instead, he skipped right on over to part 3, which he discovered creating stories and worlds while marrying the girl of his dreams. At the ripe old age of 29 with plans to write new series in fantasy and science fiction, Trevor's just getting started.

      Chapter Twelve

      There’s nothing back here, Brogan calls out from the far side of the room as he searches for a way to reach Helena.

      How can that be? Kat replies in frustration while scouring the darker edges of the room a little closer to my right.

      I remain exactly where I was moments ago, only feet from the lifeless body of the peculiar man who shot himself. My mind drifts in and out, like something is pulling me away from here. I feel so oddly estranged from everything around me, like what is going on is no longer real. For a short while, it becomes more like a mist lulling me into a dream, captivating me until Kat calls out again.

      Kaela! she shouts, forcing my eyes to jump and meet hers.

      Brogan is ahead of me studying the far wall, but he’s not touching it. Seeing him there suddenly reminds me of when I was in the canals beneath Vanguard, of that moment when the guard couldn’t see me though I was standing right in front of him. Maybe a similar veil is present here.

      Press against the walls, I say.

      Brogan is quick to follow my instructions. Only seconds later, he slips forward as his hand and wrist abruptly force their way through the solid rock and disappear from sight.

      The way out is over here… he trails off, pulling
