The year is 2124. The United States has fallen under a new authoritarian regime, its streets filled with surveillance, propaganda, and whispers of rebellion. Across the globe, Russia wages a brutal war, leaving cities burning and nations teetering on the edge of collapse. In a world ruled by power and fear, one boy grows aware of the cruelty around him. Humiliated, underestimated, and already different, he begins to see the world not as it is, but as it could be — a place to be commanded, controlled, and reshaped. Alongside his closest friend, he experiences fleeting moments of innocence, yet sparks of ambition and ruthlessness ignite early. As war engulfs continents and governments turn on their own people, his journey begins — a dark path through betrayal, mechanized warfare, and the ruthless calculus of survival. Ashes to Ashes is a visceral, high-stakes tale of political intrigue, post-apocalyptic devastation, and the emergence of a mind capable of bending the world to its will.
