The 'new' Esra has no interest in being a ghost. She wants to enjoy her new life. There's just one problem: Everywhere she looks, she finds something that needs fixing, and she can't just let someone else do it. Even if it means breaking fingers to get answers. Even if it means using a traumatized girl as an assassin. Even if it means never getting to enjoy being a Duke's daughter in the first place.

I will be posting multiple chapters a day until this catches up to those platforms. Yes, the cover is AI. It's something I'm looking to change as I head into Volume 2/3.

In a world of ash, power is measured by what you've burned. Veyra Thornhollow doesn't remember her mother's face. She traded it years ago for the ability to calculate survival odds without flinching. In the Ember Cities, where the Concordat harvests the souls of the unregistered and the Veil Covenant chases apotheosis through self-annihilation, Veyra is something worse than a criminal. She is efficient. Tier-3. Self-taught. A monster who killed her teacher the moment the lessons ran out. Now she's set her sights on Solis Vane, a Tier-4 deserter controlling an army of Hollows in the poisoned marshlands. She doesn't want to kill him for justice. She wants to harvest his Hearth, extract his crystallized power, and use it to reach heights no wild Ashwright has achieved. The cost doesn't matter. Veyra burned the capacity for regret alongside her fear. But Solis has leverage of his own. A daughter. A hidden weakness. And the Hollow Marches don't forgive mistakes. Ashen Hollow is a progression fantasy for readers who like their protagonists cold, their magic systems brutal, and their victories pyrrhic. No redemption arcs. No found family.
