What age group is The Ruins Beneath Us written for?

This story is recommended for readers 14+. While the story is written for a young adult audience, it does include depictions of graphic violence and sexual content. Parents are advised to preview the book first if they are unsure whether the content will be appropriate for their teen.

Will the Noble House of Black return for Season 3?

The stories of the Most Ancient House of Black are far from over. However, because the series is an unmonetizable fan project powered entirely by volunteers, it has to take a backseat to Sasha and the cast’s professional ventures. The series will return in time, and if you’d like to be the first to know—and even have the chance to volunteer or act—be sure to join the channel linked on Sasha’s Instagram.
