*Kieran Alaric was a survivor in a world of ash and blood—a man who clawed his way to the top through betrayal and sacrifice. But when his death marks the end of Earth’s final battle, he wakes up in the past, trapped in the frail body of a dying man.

Armed with memories of an apocalypse yet to come, Kieran must outsmart an indifferent world, build alliances, and prepare for Judgment Day. But as he digs deeper into the cause of humanity’s downfall, he uncovers a terrifying truth: he wasn’t the only one sent back in time.

In a world teetering on the edge of annihilation, where blood powers the strongest and betrayal runs deep, Kieran must fight not just to survive—but to rewrite destiny itself.

Chronicles Of Ash and Blood

Kieran's eyes widened in horror as Alex aimed the gun at Emily's sister. "Alex, no!" Maya screamed, rushing towards her brother.

But Alex was unmoved. "You're just a pawn in a much bigger game," he spat at Emily's sister. "And pawns are expendable."

Kieran knew he had to act fast. He lunged at Alex, grabbing his wrist and twisting it until the gun fell to the ground.

Alex snarled, struggling against Kieran's grip. But Kieran held firm, his eyes blazing with anger.

"How could you, Alex?" Maya asked, her voice trembling. "You're my brother. How could you betray us like this?"

Alex's expression twisted into a sneer. "You're just naive, Maya," he said. "You think the world is black and white, but it's not. It's gray. And sometimes you have to make hard choices to survive."

Kieran's grip on Alex's wrist tightened. "You're not going to survive if you keep working with The Shadow," he growled.

But before Kieran could do anything else, The Shadow's operatives burst into the room, guns blazing.
