Where the Ruin Begins

Forgotten Ruin
(Book 1)

Modern Rangers. Medieval Mayhem.

A Special Forces team wakes up in the far future where magic has returned—and they’re surrounded by elves, monsters, and war.

Hit & Fade
(Book 2)

You don’t win fantasy wars with pretty swords. You do it with tactics.

The Rangers go on offense, striking deep behind enemy lines in a series of precision attacks that shake the Dark Army to its core.

Violence of Action
(Book 3)

Fantasy war just got real.

This time the Rangers take on dragons, trolls, and a dark force that’s been lurking beneath the Ruin. Explosive combat, impossible odds—and no one’s coming to rescue them.

About the Authors

The duo behind the Dragon Award-winning series rewriting the rules of military sci-fi.

Jason Anspach

Jason Anspach is the bestselling author and co-founder of the Galaxy’s Edge universe. With a passion for heroism, honor, and old-school science fiction, Jason writes stories that are as grounded in values as they are in pulse-pounding action. He lives in Washington with his wife and their beautifully chaotic family of nine kids—where storytelling is a daily event.

Nick Cole

Nick Cole brings the fire. A U.S. Army veteran turned Hollywood actor turned Dragon Award-winning author, Nick infuses every scene with gritty realism and explosive intensity. He’s been in foxholes and film sets—and now helps build entire galaxies from scratch. His stories pull no punches but always aim for the soul.
