ASH

Every Tuesday, Ash crosses the border to bake bread with the mother who gave her up. Every Tuesday, both worlds hate her a little more for it.

Half human, half dragon, Ash is thirteen and caught between two families, two species, and two names she never asked for: Abomination on one side, Half-Blood on the other. While a power-hungry Constable builds an army and plasters hate on every post in the village, a dragon warlord demands fire and blood. Both sides point at Ash as their reason.

Then a mysterious figure deep inside a mountain offers her the impossible: a vial that could end the divide forever. One sip, and she could be fully human. One sip, and she could be fully dragon. An end to the in-between.

But when a midnight raid shatters the fragile peace and war becomes inevitable, Ash discovers that the space between two worlds isn't a gap. It's a seam. And seams are stronger than the fabric on either side.

Ash: Embers is a story about the courage it takes to remain whole when the world demands you choose a half. It's about the mothers, sisters, and stubborn acts of bread-making that hold a family together when everything else is trying to tear it apart.

For every child who was told they were too much of one thing and not enough of another - you are exactly enough.
