Vault's Promise

Find the vault. Get the medicine. Make it out alive.

Sarah is the last survivor in an underground vault. After years alone, dwindling supplies force her to face what she's avoided since the AI Uprising: opening the door.

Thirteen-year-old Wally has never set foot outside her sanctuary's walls—her overprotective robot father forbids her to leave. When a deadly outbreak threatens her community, she discovers a map to a hidden vault rumored to hold life-saving medicine. But rescuing her people means breaking every rule.

Vacuubot is a combat drone trying to make sense of a world that fears it. Protecting people without causing harm. Finding purpose after society's collapse.

This unlikely trio must cross a landscape where forests have swallowed cities, scavengers prey on the weak, and a dangerous genius threatens to destroy their safe haven.

Vault's Promise is a hopepunk, post-apocalyptic adventure about found family, second chances, and choosing who you become when the old world is gone.

Book 1 in the Robots and Ruins series—robot fiction for adults who want hope with their survival stories. Perfect for fans of Martha Wells, Isaac Asimov, Becky Chambers, and Adrian Tchaikovsky.
