Skyburn Infection by C.M. Robbins

The world burned beneath a broken sky.

Humanity clings to life inside a massive underground cavern. The infected survive in the slums of The Burn, outside Virdis—the last protected city.

Auron Daye is Skyburned, infected by the bacteria that reshaped the planet. At night, he scavenges the deadly surface, where glowing mutations hunt to survive.

Then he discovers a hidden laboratory beneath an abandoned university: Abadross Labs, a long-forgotten name once tied to the end of the world.

Auron turns to Leo and her sister, Twix—the only people he trusts. But when word of his discovery gets out, he is caught between the crime lord who rules The Burn and the powerful city exploiting his people.

As Auron’s dark secrets emerge, they may cost him everything. And when his infection worsens, what lies inside Abadross Labs may be the last hope for him—and every other Skyburned.
