Ash Rising

The apocalypse comes on dark wings to Germania, land of dead fairy tales...

In the country once famous for Cinderella, the ground is dead and the few survivors are picked off by terrifying, winged monsters of their own making.

Ash has learned to hunt the hunter, but her real fight is keeping her delusional stepmother and frail sister from starving in the crumbling remains of her ancestral mansion. Each giant, black-winged shape she shoots down could be her last.

Then comes a mysterious missive, arriving by magic, and a stranger in the dark who knows all about Ash and holds keys to her past. Someone must cross the wasteland plains to get to the palace – a death sentence by the hands of either monster or mob. Because someone needs to save this country, and Ash’s innocent sister must go alone if she doesn’t sacrifice herself.

Echoes of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds combine with the action of Divergent with the literary beauty of The Road for fans of The Hunger Games and Cinder.

This is not a tale you know the ending of…
