Join the end-of-the-world adventure with part I of the Ruin Saga. The epic story begins here... Earth has been almost silent for forty years. The apocalypse left behind only fragments of civilisation, surrounded by a sea of barbarism. The End cost humanity six billion lives. Almost every person on Earth vanished when the lights went out, computers turned to dust, and planes fell from the sky. Only scattered survivors remained, surrounded by a world empty and quiet. Now, civilisation is failing. The ways of the Old World are being forgotten, and all that stands between the British Isles and a new Dark Age is the mission of New Canterbury, struggling to save books, art, and the knowledge needed to begin again. Famine has devastated the land, and refugees wander in their thousands. In the wild lands surrounding New Canterbury, dark secrets fester, and supernatural forces awaken. Somewhere, an army is on the move, bent on ending the Old World forever. The End was just the beginning.
