ASHRAIN
By the sweat of your brow you will eat food until you are returned to the ground, since from it you were taken; for [ashes] you are and unto [ashes] you shall return. — Genesis 3:19
THERE WAS NO WAR.
NO FIGHTING.
NO GREAT AND MIGHTY STRUGGLE FOR HUMANITY.
THEY CAME, AND WE DIED.
ALL OF US.
The world is dead. Ashes are all that remains on the planet once known as Earth. In this bleak reality, the scant remnants of humanity have only two choices: survive the harsh, merciless landscape, where life is scarce and water scarcer…or die and return to the dust from whence we came.
Alexis Redmond is a survivor. She won’t go quietly into the night, but myriad perils face her: vicious cannibals, fanatical zealots, suicidal revolutionaries, mutant creatures…and a sinister foe waiting in the wasteland, hell bent to see Alexis suffer before death finds her at last.
In the years since the world ended global fires, volcanism, and colossal alien constructs have choked the skies with thick clouds of smoke and soot. It falls day and night as an endless, waterless, black rain. So, those few who survive call this hellish new world…
Ashrain.
A post-apocalyptic series by EM Levine.
“Movies, television, literature…it all lied to us. Guess it was just human arrogance that we never considered if aliens did come to Earth, we wouldn’t be the enemy. We’d be the bugs.” — AR
