Beneath the Ashes

Seventeen-year-old Bryn Hayes never expected her summer internship in Tokyo to be anything more than a chance to explore a new city, experience the culture, and gain valuable work experience. But when a massive kaiju-an ancient, terrifying monster-rises from the depths of the ocean and begins to wreak havoc across the city, everything she thought she knew about her summer plans is thrown into chaos.

As the monstrous creature rampages through the heart of Tokyo, Bryn must navigate a city crumbling under the weight of destruction. With the help of her new friends-an eclectic group of local teens who are struggling to survive in the wake of the attack-Bryn races against time to find a way to escape the kaiju's wrath. But when she learns that there's more to this creature's appearance than meets the eye, and that her internship might be connected to the secrets surrounding the kaiju's rise, Bryn is forced to face an unimaginable choice: run for her life or uncover the truth hidden beneath the ashes of a city on the brink of annihilation.

In Beneath the Ashes, the first book in the Kaiju's Wrath series, Bryn's journey of survival leads her to uncover a mystery that ties her to an ancient power. As friendships are tested, secrets unfold, and the world around her burns, Bryn must discover what she's truly made of before it's too late. Will she be able to survive the kaiju's onslaught, or will she become another casualty of the monster's wrath?

A thrilling mix of survival, mystery, and science fiction, Beneath the Ashes introduces a bold new heroine as she faces the ultimate test of courage, loyalty, and destiny in a world on the edge of destruction.
