The Final Ending Series installment is coming!
World Before: A Story Collection (connects to The Ending Legacy coming to YouTube this Fall).
A collection of stories featuring beloved Ending Series characters.
Every ending has a beginning.
We have evolved, but we have not forgotten.
In a world changed by mutation and madness, the past reminds us of who we are, and our memories ground us to who we’ll become.
My name is Zoe Cartwright, and I see people’s memories. They haunt me. I know things I shouldn’t about my friends and family—their experiences with love and loss, hope and fear—things that must never be forgotten. Stories that must be written down. The world has already changed so much; who knows what the future will hold.
These are our stories from the world before The Ending.

The Ending World
Before The Dawn - The Ending Series Book Four - Part 1 Drops tomorrow! Here's a sneak peek...
A year ago, the Virus killed off most people in the world. A year ago, strange things started happening to those who survived. Some of them transformed into something dark and sinister, while others evolved, becoming something more, something beyond human.
A year ago, Dani and Zoe were lost. They traversed the country to find one another, losing some of the people dearest to them along the way. They fought for their right to simply live, uncovered long-buried secrets, and discovered irreversible truths. And after everything Dani and Zoe have been through—even with the battle wounds that they bear—they’re still not safe. It’s time for the struggling to end, for survivors to take back their lives, their families, their safety. It’s time to really begin to live, and to do that, they must wait for the first rays of dawn.

The Ending World
Out of the Ashes, book 3 - Part 1 drops tomorrow! Here's a sneak peek!
Hope brought them together, but it's now fear that drives them...and threatens to tear them apart.
Zoe and her companions succeeded in rescuing Dani from the Colony. But not without sacrifice. Beaten and broken, they head west, determined to leave behind the torment and horrors they experienced in Colorado.
As Dani and Zoe make the perilous trek home to Bodega Bay, they learn that danger can take many forms--other survivors, their friends, even themselves--and that things are rarely what they seem. Zoe is desperate to become the woman she sees in others' memories, while Dani struggles to conceal damaging secrets, risking losing herself--her humanity--completely. Together, they must rediscover the true meaning of friendship, love, and trust, and learn just how hard they're willing to fight for what remains of their shattered world.
As relationships are put to the test, second chances are given, and new life emerges, death lurks in the most unlikely of places. To survive, Dani and Zoe must accept that sometimes hope alone isn't enough.

The Ending World
Book two, part one drops tomorrow! Here's a little teaser...
The Virus changed them, but that was only the beginning... ...death...mutation...insanity...corruption...terror... ...all that remains is hope.
In the wake of destruction left behind by the Virus, it took Dani and Zoe months to find each other. But their reunion was short-lived. Dani has been taken, and though little distance separates them, they might as well be worlds apart. From the moment she hears Dani's scream, Zoe's only goal is to save her best friend. She and her companions scramble to come up with a rescue plan, but when a ghost from Jake's past reappears, lines are blurred, decisions become harder, and secrets are revealed...and some secrets are best left buried. To keep heartache and fear from consuming her, Zoe must cling to her determination. She WILL see Dani again.
Dani awakens inside the final hold-out of civilization: the Colony. Remnants of the former world surround her--electricity, safety, social order--but all is not what it seems. As she faces her most manipulative adversary yet, she loses sight of who she is and who she can trust. Friends become enemies, enemies become allies, and allies will betray her. Dani will have to decide what she's willing to do and whose lives she's willing to risk if she is to have any chance of breaking free.

The Ending World
Welcome to Team Lindsey’s corner of YouTube! We started this writing journey together over a decade ago, and it all began with this series - The Ending Series. Dani, Zoe, Jake, and Jason... and the rest of the gang.
This is the first series we ever published, and while there are many things we might’ve done differently as more experienced writers now, it is near and dear to our hearts. Because this is the series that started it all.
And so... We are excited to FINALLY bring The Ending World to you, and we hope you enjoy Zoe and Dani’s crazy adventures in The Ending Series.
The Ending World Includes:
The Ending Series (A complete 6 book series coming to YouTube)
The Ending Legacy (Books 1&2 are coming to YouTube and book 3 is being written)
Savage North Chronicles (A complete 6 book series on YouTube - 7 with the origin stories not yet in audio) on my channel @LindseyPogue
A new audiobook drops every Wednesday. They have been broken up into two parts each due to length.
The video descriptions will include links to each different part.
Comment and let us know if you have any questions. 💚
