Remnants: The Awakening
Book One of the Remnants Trilogy
Zach wakes in a labor yard with no memory and a name that feels like a stranger’s.
When the Rustclads tear his world apart, he and Nora must fight to survive long enough to uncover the truth behind the Ascendancy — and the identity he was never meant to remember.
A story of grit, loyalty, and rebirth in a world rebuilt from ruin.
Remnants: The forsaken
Book Two of the Remnants Trilogy
In a world that strips away identity, survival comes at a cost.
After their capture, Zach and Nora are torn apart—one forced into brutality, the other into obedience. As the Ascendancy tightens its grip, memories fade, loyalties fracture, and the line between survival and surrender begins to blur.
But even in a world built to break them, something refuses to die.
Remnants: The Forsaken is a dark, emotional descent into control, resilience, and the fight to remain human when everything is designed to take that away.
Book One of the Remnants Trilogy.
A gritty dieselpunk novel about a man with no memory, a girl fighting to survive, and a world ruled by machines, smoke, and the ruthless Rustclads.
Dark, atmospheric, and character-driven—perfect for fans of dystopian and post-apocalyptic fiction.
Book Two of the Remnants Trilogy.
Captured. Broken. Reforged.
Zach is pushed toward violence. Nora is reshaped into obedience.
The Ascendancy doesn’t just control bodies—it rewrites minds.
In The Forsaken, survival means losing who you were… or fighting to remember.
Inside the World of Remnants
Aurelia once stood as a monument to progress.
Now, its skyline is a graveyard of steel and smoke.
Between the Ascendancy’s iron rule and the savage machines of the Rustclads, surviving means choosing what pieces of humanity you refuse to let go.
The Remnants Trilogy explores memory, identity, and what it means to reclaim your life in a world determined to erase it.
