The Complete Dark Days Series

Ryan Schow is the USA Today Bestselling Author of Dark Days of the After, The Age of Embers, and The Last War series. As a lifelong reader and self-described adrenaline junky, he's drawn to books, movies and TV featuring gritty, capable characters who are admirable but flawed, and eventually willing and able to go knuckle-to-knuckle with the most formidable of adversaries.

That said, the best characters are always rich with personality, but struggling under the weight of some internal strife. Sprinkle in some chaos and muddy the waters between right and wrong, and to him you have a compelling tale. To Ryan, these kinds of impossible circumstances make for the best stories, and this is reflected in both his characters and the content of his novels.
