Ruin (Series)

Prepare for a journey to a new literary universe with fantasy, scifi, steampunk, and adventure rolled into one.

The land of Ruin is a brutal, harsh, and unforgiving desert with little water and less kindness. Do not mistake its brutality for lack of life though. Thousands of traders and people from all walks travel its vast reaches looking to make their fortune in the trade of "black crystal" - the mineral that fuels everything from airships, to landships, to currency itself. There is even rumor of its awakened power properties.

Jim is just such a trader and frankly, he isn't very good at it. But, things are about to change for him. Ever the introverted hermit, he's about to be thrust into a world of intrigue, magic, and colorful people. Ruin gives few second chances. Don't waste yours.

Note to the reader: This is not marked mature because any mention of sexual content is extremely brief and only hinted at. My writing typically contains minimal bad language too. However, there are some places where it is used. I would land this book somewhere around PG13.

This is an ongoing series of novels. Book 1 is complete and available for purchase at multiple retailers. See https://www.brandonberryhill.com/ for all links.
