Cendres, Cendres

"Ashes, ashes, we all fall down."

The world was not prepared for a virus like this. When women began to die by the millions, governments scrambled, hospitals overflowed, and society fell into chaos. Order crumbled, and survival became the only priority.

Samir had made a promise to his best friend-to protect his little sister, Kayla, no matter the cost. Miraculously immune to the virus that wiped out nearly all females, Kayla became Samir's sole reason for fighting on. To keep her safe, he has made countless hard choices, trusting only a select few.

For years, Samir believed Kayla was the last surviving girl on Earth. But everything changes when, on a supply run, he encounters Harper: a soft-spoken, resilient woman who warns him about the men she's with, urging him to protect Kayla. When Harper sacrifices herself to buy his group time to escape, Samir knows he can't abandon her.

However, he soon realizes that traveling with one of the last surviving women is even more dangerous than he imagined. As they journey together, his only goal is to reunite with his group and ensure Kayla's safety, but along the way, he discovers more about himself, humanity, and the people who make survival worthwhile.

'Cendres, Cendres' (Ashes, Ashes) is a gripping new adult novel that delves into resilience, hope, and the unbreakable bonds that make humanity worth fighting for-even when it seems we are falling to ashes.
