With their world in ruins, a new struggle begins — for hope, for survival, for the future
Nothing seems capable of disturbing their lives when the final school bell rings — until everything changes. After years of silence, Mother Nature strikes back with brutal force. A disaster of unprecedented scale destroys their world. Without technology, without certainty, without the comforts they grew up with, they must learn to survive in a new, hostile landscape. As Max, Tess, Sem, Emma, and Jordan journey through a shattered Europe, they encounter others. Some appear to be allies. Others force them to question everything. Who can they trust — and who trusts them? Their relationships are pushed to the breaking point. Will love survive these trials? Will Sem ever confront his own feelings? Can they — and will they — fight for their place in this new world? One thing is certain: their world is gone. What comes next, no one could have predicted.
“Ashes On Broken Ground” describes the compelling and exciting adventure of a group of teenagers who, after a natural disaster, must find their way in a new world full of danger and struggle for survival, where nothing is as it seems.
The book was originally published under the Dutch title 'Nergens Behalve Hier', but is now widely released as the first part of the 'Ash' series.
With the various characters, you'll find familiarity in an unfamiliar world, and you'll be drawn into the story.
