Ashes of the Last City (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798258687159)

The world has already ended.

What remains is far more dangerous.

In Ashes of the Last City, Robin Wickens delivers a gripping, cinematic post-apocalyptic thriller that explores survival not just as instinct but as choice, community, and consequence.

The Last City is not just a setting. It is a battlefield of shifting alliances, hidden power, and fragile hope. Resources are scarce. Trust is rarer still. Every decision carries weight, and every alliance may become a betrayal.

At the centre of it all, Elara stands.

A scavenger. A strategist. A survivor.

When she uncovers a working water purification system-something thought lost to the past-it becomes more than a tool. It becomes powerful. Influence. Hope.

And hope, in a broken world, is the most dangerous currency of all.

Because Voss is watching.

A ruthless leader with growing influence, Voss seeks to control not just territory but the future itself. His forces are organised. His ambition is absolute. And his patience is running out.

As tension escalates, Elara must navigate a world where:

• Allies may betray for survival
• Communities fracture under pressure
• Power shifts with every decision
• And one wrong move could cost everything

What follows is a relentless, character-driven journey through conflict, loyalty, and resilience.

This is not just a story about survival.

It is about rebuilding something worth surviving for.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

• Gritty post-apocalyptic worlds
• Strong, complex female leads
• Moral dilemmas and shifting loyalties
• High-stakes survival with emotional depth
• Stories where community matters as much as combat

If you enjoy the tension of The Road, the world-building of Mad Max, and the character depth of modern dystopian fiction, Ashes of the Last City will keep you turning pages long into the night.

Because in the ashes of the old world...

The future is still being fought for.
