6 parts Ongoing MatureIn a world shattered by collapse, Ashwood Falls is more ghost town than city-its ruins divided among brutal factions vying for control. The wealthy Nobles hoard luxuries within their fortified mall, the zealous Citadel preaches salvation through violent "purification," and the Wardens fight desperately to protect what remains of the common people. As the factions clash, whispers of betrayal echo through the city's darkened streets, and survival becomes a deadly game.
Elias Mercer has learned to keep his distance, slipping through the shadows as a lone scavenger with no loyalty to any side. But when a raid gone wrong thrusts him back into the orbit of Vivian Smith, his former friend-and the daughter of the determined Warden leader-he's forced to reckon with the scars of his past and a city on the brink of ruin. Despite their clashing views, Elias and Vivian's shared history draws them together, even as secrets of betrayal and buried loyalties threaten to tear them apart.
As Ashwood Falls teeters on the edge of chaos, Elias and Vivian must navigate fractured alliances, ruthless enemies, and a love that might prove their undoing. In a city where hope has all but faded, they may be the last chance for a future-or each other's final mistake.
