(Book 3 of the After the Collapse survival saga)
The ashes of the old world still burn.
Months after the catastrophic impacts shattered civilization, Nick Alvarez and his family struggle to survive in a nation descending deeper into chaos. Food is scarce, trust is dangerous, and every community is one bad decision away from collapse. What once felt temporary has become the terrifying reality of a permanent new world.
As brutal winter conditions close in and violent survivor factions spread across the countryside, Nick discovers that the greatest threat may no longer come from the disaster itself—but from the desperate people left behind. Forced into impossible alliances and deadly confrontations, the Alvarez family must decide how far they are willing to go to protect each other.
Meanwhile, rumors begin to surface about organized groups rebuilding power in the shadows of the ruined nation. Some promise safety. Others promise control.
In a world buried beneath smoke, fear, and loss, hope survives only in those willing to fight for it.
Under the Cinders is a gripping post-apocalyptic survival thriller filled with emotional stakes, escalating danger, and the harsh realities of rebuilding after the end of the world.
