About Dustwalkers by Rhoda De-Diadem

Synopsis
Decades after the Cyan Blight choked the skies of Neo-Veridia, a world lies scarred and silent, draped in the perpetual gloom of a poisoned past.
Aris Thorne, a disgraced xenobiologist tormented by the ghosts of the Aurora Project, stumbles upon the Ossuary of Whispers – a vast, macabre garden where millions lie perfectly preserved, their final breaths suspended in time.
He seeks oblivion, a sanctuary from the horrific visions that haunt his waking hours. Instead, he finds the key to a resurrection…and a nightmare unbound: Project Chimera.
A forbidden technology, Chimera promises to restore life, but the return comes at a horrifying price.
It’s a twisted reflection of Neo-Veridia’s broken soul, warping the deceased into grotesque mockeries of their former selves, consumed by a ravenous hunger and controlled by a chillingly efficient collective consciousness.

Aris, desperate for redemption, unleashes this terror.
He unleashes not salvation, but the Ashen Legion, a swarm of reanimated corpses destined to devour the last vestiges of civilization.
Caught between the unbearable weight of his actions and the fragile glimmer of hope, Aris discovers that fragments of their former lives still flicker within some of the reanimated.
Amongst them is Lyra Vance, a young medic consumed by the Blight but reborn with a defiant spark of her humanity. She becomes Aris’s unlikely ally, a guiding star in the encroaching darkness, proving that even in the face of utter annihilation, the human spirit can endure. Their odyssey is a descent into the abyss.
They confront not only the implacable Ashen Legion but also ruthless warlords seeking to weaponize the Chimera technology, fanatical cults venerating the Cyan Blight, and the insidious erosion of Aris’s sanity as the hive mind attempts to exploit his deepest fears and regrets.
Tears of sorrow and dread mark their path as Aris and Lyra fight for every last shred of humanity.

They rally the surviving pockets of humanity, forging an uneasy alliance between the living and the reborn, seeking a way to sever the hive mind’s grip and restore the reanimated to their former selves.
The price is staggering – sacrifice, betrayal, and the constant threat of being overwhelmed by the encroaching darkness.
Yet, even as the world teeters on the edge of oblivion, a fragile hope blossoms. Aris discovers a method to amplify the echoes of memory within the reanimated, to reignite their lost selves, to transform the legion of the damned into a force for restoration.
The climax is a crescendo of horror and heartbreak, a desperate battle where the boundary between life and death dissolves, and the fate of Neo-Veridia hangs precariously in the balance.
Will Aris and Lyra succeed in reversing the tide of despair, or will the ashes claim them all, leaving only a haunting reminder of a world lost, a world that could have been?
“Dustwalkers: Echoes of Ash” is a visceral and emotional exploration of despair, a celebration of the enduring power of hope, and a terrifying

examination of what it means to be human when facing ultimate horror. Prepare to be captivated and disturbed.
