From The Ashes

About

A Dystopian Lycan Romance The year is 2115 in North East Scotland. Mankind, once the architects of towering glass cities and dazzling innovation, has earned ruin as their legacy. The human wars of 2027 and the bloody battle for dominance over the earth's limited mineral resources caused annihilation more than a hundred years ago, leaving only a few small villages and wilderness on the scarred land. In their arrogance, the humans trespassed upon the ancient, sacred territories of the Lycans-creatures whispered about in bedtime stories, dismissed as myth, read out in trashy fiction novels until the blood and ash turned superstition into terror. For over a millennium, the Lycan empire has been shaped by the iron will of King Olsen, a monarch whose reign has cast a long, often bloody, shadow across the lands. Legends whisper of his boundless power and cruelty, of an empire ruled not by compassion or unity but by dominance and fear. He is godlike and all-seeing. On his command, the Lycans no longer hid in the shadows. The Lycan king's warriors rose in wrath at this disrespect, hidden for centuries, claiming their birthright as the superior apex species with claws and silvery eyes. Humanity's last cities and towns were torn asunder and burnt to the ground in fires that ravaged the land for months, ash spewing into the skies. Those who survived became the conquered slaves of the Lycan Empire, to be used, bought, or sold as their new masters saw fit. Today, the Lycan realm stands on the verge of chaos, its once-proud bloodline threatened by internal discord and social decay. At the heart of this turmoil are Olsen's four sons, each vying for the throne in a bitter game of succession that promises only ruin or rule. Among them, Alex-the youngest at a mere century and a half-emerges not only as a military leader but as a figure of defiance, his hatred for his father matched only by his secret yearning for his Eresthai, the soul-bound mate he has never known. As a human, Adelin
