Ashes of Tomorrow

In 2028, the world burned. The skies turned crimson, a deadly disease swept through cities, and chaos consumed everything Zoe Willow once knew. At just sixteen, Zoe is thrust into a brutal fight for survival in the ruins of New Denver, a city now haunted by raiders, hunger, and the ghosts of a better time.

Separated from her parents and armed with only her wits and a makeshift spear, Zoe clings to a single promise: to find her best friends, Layla and Drew, who vowed to meet her at their high school gym if disaster ever struck. But the trek is anything but simple. Along the way, Zoe faces ruthless raiders, uncovers painful truths, and discovers a strength she never knew she had.

In a world where trust is scarce, and hope is fleeting, Zoe must navigate the dangers of a dying world to reclaim what little remains of her humanity and to find the people who made her who she is.

Will Zoe keep her promise, or will the ashes of tomorrow consume her too?
