The Earth is scorched. Poison chokes the skies. In the aftermath of the global volcanic cataclysms, civilization teeters on the edge of oblivion. Yet, from the devastation, humanity claws its way back—stronger, smarter, and more determined than ever to reclaim the future.

But something else has risen, too.

From the depths of mutation and darkness comes the Mutanta—a new breed of vampire, more savage and cunning than their ancient ancestors. As the old vampire empires reel from this sudden threat, the Three Queens must cast aside centuries of tradition to adapt—or perish.

While the world reels, new heroes step forward.

Commander Ethan Walker and weapons dealer Jake Vance arm the survivors with cutting-edge technology, helping to turn the tide. On the war-torn western front of the former United States, Commander Lance Stern leads the last of the American military in a desperate fight to hold back the vampire uprising.

Meanwhile, in the laboratories of hope, Emily Hardin's brilliant team of doctors races to perfect a groundbreaking vampire vaccine—humanity's first real weapon against the infection that once seemed unstoppable.

As factions form, alliances shift, and enemies evolve, From the Ashes chronicles the rise of a new frontier—where science stands beside steel, and the future is forged in the ruins of the old world.

The ashes of the old world have settled. What emerges now will define the next age of man, or monster.
