POST-APOCALYPTIC SURVIVAL THRILLERS
Just because the world ended once doesn't mean it won't happen again.
A semblance of civilization has returned in the aftermath of the apocalypse, but do the fractured communities represent beacons of hope for the future, or powder kegs ready to explode?
Traumatized by the haunting images of their troubled pasts, the shattered remnants of society distract themselves with debauchery and death, blind to a new menace that threatens to devour them all as an entire settlement's population vanishes overnight.
Meanwhile, an unearthed shadow gathers in the west, murderous marauders raid the farm belt and cutthroat pirates torment the coast as alliances shift in the scramble for safety.
The rich and the reckless, the dutiful and the depraved, all fight for what little remains while Treading On Ashes.
When somebody goes missing, nobody ever suspects the Lizardmen.
For thousands of years, the Kirzakai have avoided all human contact.
Until now.
When their estranged father investigates a reported Lizardman sighting, Ray and Ben Rauder are kidnapped and forced to work in a harsh prison on the other side of the world.
Having lost his memories during the abduction, Ray only knows one thing for certain - he doesn't belong there.
Knowing even less about their father, Ben slowly unravels the mysteries surrounding the prison and the forgotten reptilian race.
Plagued with internal strife, the Kirzaki fight against a shadow organization, The Faction, who are intent on eliminating their species once and for all.
Embroiled in the beginnings of an all-out war, The Rauder Brothers struggle to escape The Lizardmen's Pit, but with each attempt, they are pulled further in.
