Remnants

In a world rebuilt from rust and ruin, memories are a luxury-and survival is a choice. Zach awakens in a brutal labor yard with no past and no identity, marked only by a strange emblem and the fragments of a life he can't remember. As he navigates the wasteland under the iron rule of the Ascendancy, he forms an unlikely bond with Nora, a fierce and resourceful woman fighting to hold onto her humanity. But when the Rustclads-an outlaw faction feared across the territory-capture them both, Zach is forced into a deadly struggle that will test his strength, his loyalty, and the limits of who he once was. Haunted by flashes of a forgotten life and hunted by forces tied to his mysterious origins, Zach discovers that his awakening is no accident. The Ascendancy is hiding something-something powerful enough to reshape what's left of the world, and Zach may be the key to unlocking it. Gritty, immersive, and emotionally charged, Remnants: The Awakening is the first book in the Remnants Trilogy-a dieselpunk survival epic about identity, oppression, and what it means to reclaim your humanity in a world determined to take it from you.
