Welcome to The Age of Fire & Ash

The official home of an ambitious literary project that spans 83 years of human survival after global nuclear devastation. This isn’t just another post-apocalyptic series—it’s a meticulously crafted shared universe where multiple interconnected storylines explore how civilization rebuilds itself in the ashes of the old world. From the Norse-inspired Sunnar settlements on the flooded Mississippi to the Egyptian-influenced Ether kingdoms. There may be democratic trading posts and horrors lurking in abandoned bunkers. The Age of Fire & Ash presents a complex tapestry of human adaptation, political intrigue, and ancient evils that refuse to stay buried.

More Than Books: A Collaborative Storytelling Revolution

What makes Fire & Ash unique is its vision as a collaborative universe open to multiple authors and diverse storytelling approaches. Whether you’re a reader seeking epic interconnected narratives that reward attention to detail, or a writer looking for a rich, established world to explore with your own characters and stories, The Age of Fire & Ash offers something unprecedented in modern publishing.

The Age of Fire & Ash is designed to welcome storytellers from every corner of fiction. Whether you write pulse-pounding thrillers, slow-burn romance, eerie psychological horror, gritty westerns, high-tension spy fiction, grounded sci-fi, or intimate character-driven dramas, there is a place for your voice in this world.

  • Before the Event, authors can explore political conspiracies, espionage, near-miss disasters, doomed love stories, or strange happenings on the edge of scientific discovery.
  • During the Event, genres collide naturally—disaster thrillers, survival horror, military suspense, or lovers fighting to stay alive as the sky falls.
  • After the Event, the fractured world offers room for frontier-style western tales in lawless zones, dark horror in abandoned bunkers, romantic journeys through rebuilding settlements, or grounded sci-fi narratives following scavenger engineers, malfunctioning orbital stations, or rediscovered technologies.

If your story is rooted in human struggle and stays grounded in the world’s realism, your genre already belongs here. Pitch your story

The website serves as your gateway to understanding the world’s intricate timeline, exploring the complex relationships between settlements and factions, and discovering how you can become part of this ever-expanding universe—either as a reader following the saga across multiple books and authors, or as a contributor adding your own corner to this post-apocalyptic world.
