AshFall, (Paperback)

<p>Five years ago, the System descended upon the world and shattered every law humanity thought it understood, leaving behind a brutal new age where survival belongs to those strong enough to claim territory, hunt the monsters crawling through the ruins, and uncover the secrets buried beneath a world that no longer obeys nature. Ryker Ashfall has survived by remaining useful and unnoticed. As an Echo Reader, he can perceive ancient System traces hidden from everyone else, fragments of forgotten commands, dead pathways, and whispers left behind in places no human was ever meant to enter. His gift makes him valuable, but value is dangerous in a world ruled by guilds, power, and fear, so Ryker keeps his head down, follows orders, and asks no questions. That changes when a dangerous territory claim leads his guild to an impossible discovery buried deep beneath the ruined earth. What waits there is older than the System and far more dangerous than anything roaming the surface. When the leaders of his guild realize what they have found, they make a decision behind closed doors, weighing one life against the future of humanity and deciding Ryker's life is an acceptable price. They believe they can use him. They believe they can control what they awaken. They are wrong. Ryker wanted nothing more than to survive, but betrayal changes a man, and what emerges from beneath the earth will no longer care about survival. It will want the world to remember what was done to it, because some discoveries were never meant to be claimed, some betrayals do not end with revenge, and some monsters are made, not born.</p>
