Alone in the Ashes
Book 1 of the Surviving the Apocalypse Series
The world as we knew it burned away, leaving only ashes behind.
Fifteen-year-old Harper Quinn didn't ask to become a survivor. The storms came first, swallowing cities in a cascade of destruction. Then the earthquakes shattered the land, and the Collapse swept away everything else-governments, technology, and hope. Alone in a lawless wasteland, Harper learned the hard way that survival demands sacrifice, trust is a deadly gamble, and mercy is a weakness she can't afford.
Two years later, Harper roams a landscape of desolation, scavenging the ruins of a shattered world. She has no destination, no allies, and no time for sentimentality. The only thing keeping her alive is her unyielding determination to keep moving-fueled by a past she can't escape and the ghosts of the family she lost.
But the world has a way of testing even the toughest survivors. As Harper navigates a labyrinth of desperate gangs, ruthless scavengers, and the silent shadows of an unforgiving land, she begins to realize that staying alive isn't the same as living. In a world where every decision is a life-or-death gamble, how far will Harper go to ensure she doesn't become one of the countless forgotten names lost in the ashes?
Alone in the Ashes is a gripping post-apocalyptic survival story that blends heart-pounding action with raw, emotional depth. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and The Road, this first installment of the Surviving the Apocalypse series will keep you turning pages long into the night.
The fight to survive begins now.
