So many generations before they were forced underground by the 'affected'. Their goal: to one day return to the surface and raise their new civilisation from the ashes of the old one.
When everything went wrong the humans escaped below ground. Generations have passed and still they cannot return to the danger infested surface.
After her brother is taken by these exact creatures Ava only has one thing on her mind: Revenge.
She joins the fight and is soon plunged into a world far from the one she had imagined.
Not to mention the ancient prophecy that threatens the very lives all the 'affected' that swarm the surface of Earth.
Just how many lies had she been led to believe? Just who does she trust when everyone has something to hide? And just how tangled up in this prophecy is she?

From Darkness Comes - Book 2 in the Ash and Ember Series
She survived the end. But it's only the beginning. Ever thought escaping Earth meant survival. Instead, it meant sacrifice. She lost her parents, her sister, and the two boys she loves-left behind to an uncertain fate. Now, on a distant planet she never asked to call home, Ever reunites with the brother she thought was dead. But this new world is not the refuge it promised to be. Her sister's haunting last words echo in her mind: "Your friends may be your foes, and your foes may be your only chance for survival." With her memories fractured by reimaging, Ever struggles to tell truth from illusion, ally from enemy-even within herself. As a genetically modified human, she carries a dangerous secret: she may be the only woman capable of creating life. To Environettix, the ruthless corporation pulling the strings, that makes her their most valuable-and most vulnerable-target. And she isn't the only one. The other Mods brought from Earth are caught in the same web of lies, their very existence exploited for an agenda darker than they ever imagined. But the planet itself holds secrets of its own. And Ever is beginning to realize a chilling truth: they don't belong here. And when something doesn't belong, it's only a matter of time before it's erased. *This is Book 2 in The Dissonance Series
