Ashes to Ashes

Ashes to Ashes – A Dust to Diamonds Novel: Book One

Edgier YA Apocalyptic Horror

 

The Seize has steeped the Earth in ash and imprisoned the souls of all mankind in the Deep, leaving a colorless world behind, where the boundaries between good and evil, love and hate, freedom and captivity are as blurred.

 

For Deuce, a self-proclaimed piece of shit and loner, being a recluse in an empty world is not all it's cracked up to be. Against all that he believes about himself and a barrage of self-loathing, he becomes the reluctant leader of five exiled survivors. Like him, they are mentally and physically scarred, and have no idea how to play nicely with others. Plunged into a horrific world, where the best they can do is choose between nightmares, they fall victim to prisons, man-eating cornfields, and transporters that turn their bodies inside out, flinging them through time and space. Attacked by Vacants, Trolls, Gargoyles, and Suffering Demons, nothing compares to being pawns in a perpetual war between two Eternals. To save the souls of mankind, the Banished must drop the masks they are hiding behind and decide if there is a difference between being human and being humane. Their biggest challenge? To conquer the demons within, not the demons that chase.
