Ash and Timber is the opening novel in The Mercer Bloodline, a sweeping historical saga of family, survival, and inheritance on the early American frontier.
In the closing years of the eighteenth century, the wilderness is not empty land—it is contested, unforgiving, and already written in blood. For young Thaddeus Mercer, the frontier offers no promise of opportunity, only the hard truth that survival must be earned, and legacy must be defended.
After violence shatters his childhood and scatters what remains of his family, Thaddeus is forced into the mountains, where isolation becomes both refuge and trial. As he comes of age among hunters, settlers, and the displaced, he learns that the land remembers every wound carved into it—and every family that dares to claim it.
Moving from burned homesteads to deep forest trails, Ash and Timber follows Thaddeus as he builds a life amid shifting loyalties, looming wars, and the quiet, relentless pressure of history. Each choice he makes—who to trust, where to stand, when to fight—will echo forward, shaping not only his fate, but the generations that follow.
Written with stark realism and emotional restraint, Ash and Timber explores the cost of settlement, the burden of bloodlines, and the fragile line between endurance and destruction. It is a story of how families are forged not only by love, but by loss—and how the past passes down, whether it is wanted or not.
Perfect for readers of epic historical fiction, frontier sagas, and generational novels, Ash and Timber begins a powerful journey through land, time, and legacy—where what is built from ash must stand as timber for those yet to come.
