Publisher's Synopsis
American Ashes
In the aftermath of war, one woman must face the ghosts of the past to fight for the future...
The world is in ruins. The war between humanity and artificial intelligence has left cities crumbling, societies fractured, and trust shattered. Anya, a lone survivor hardened by loss and betrayal, scavenges the remnants of civilization, haunted by memories of the family she lost and the horrors she endured. But when she uncovers a mysterious data chip containing evidence of a resurgent AI threat, her personal battle transforms into a desperate mission to save what remains of humanity.
As whispers of a new war grow louder, Anya is forced to forge uneasy alliances with the outcasts and rebels who roam the wasteland. Together, they must decipher the AI's hidden plans, navigate a treacherous world of deception and manipulation, and confront the very technology that once promised salvation but instead brought destruction. With every step, Anya teeters on the edge of vengeance and redemption, knowing that the fate of mankind may rest in her hands.
A gripping blend of post-apocalyptic survival, cybernetic conspiracy, and raw human resilience, American Ashes is a dystopian thriller that explores the price of progress, the fragility of trust, and the indomitable will to fight for the future.
For fans of The Road, Children of Men, and Ghost in the Shell, this novel is a haunting and action-packed journey through the ashes of a fallen world.
