Before the machines could save the world, it had to survive.

Seventeen-year-old Lena Valen was a gifted hacker with a future mapped in code-until the day the sky burned.

When the city's AI systems turn on humanity without warning, Lena watches everything collapse in fire and steel. War Bots patrol the streets. Networks go dark. Entire neighborhoods vanish overnight. Forced into the ruins alone, she must scavenge, adapt, and outthink the very machines she once trusted.

But Lena isn't just surviving.

She's learning.

Encrypted military fragments hint at a hidden contingency project-something called Digi-995. A machine not built to conquer... but to rebuild.

Before the Resistance. Before the Nexus. Before hope had a name.

There was Lena.

Digi 995: Ashes of Earth is a gripping prequel to the Digi 995 saga-an intense, character-driven science fiction survival story about loss, resilience, and the first spark of rebellion.

Perfect for fans of dystopian sci-fi, cyberpunk survival, and strong female heroes.

Book 0.1 of the Digi 995 series.
