Of Things Man Made: The Whispers of Ember and Ashe: A Dystopian Sci-Fi Thriller of Rebellion and Survival (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798250632904)

He Was Never Meant to Survive.

In the volcanic prison camp of Jhin-Jhin, slaves don't live long.

They burn.
They break.
They disappear.

Ember should be dead by now.

The lava doesn't scar him.
The heat doesn't weaken him.
And when death comes too close... something inside him answers.

Fire.

But power isn't his only problem.

Ashe-his only friend, his only reason to care-still believes in kindness in a world that devours the weak. And that kindness is going to get him killed.

When rumors surface of a hidden place beyond Rotundran control-a place where humans might live free-Ember faces an impossible choice:

Stay silent and survive alone.
Or risk everything to escape with Ashe... and ignite a rebellion the empire cannot ignore.

Because in a world ruled by reptilian overlords, hope is treason.

And fire changes everything.

• Dark dystopian survival

• Brutal prison-camp rebellion arcs

• Brotherhood under oppression

• Rising supernatural powers

• Morally gray heroes forced to choose

The Whispers of Ember and Ashe is Book 1.2 in the Of Things Man Made saga - a gritty, high-stakes dystopian epic where evolution is painful... and freedom demands sacrifice.

The ash buries everything.

But some embers refuse to die.
