Dread and Ashes

The Dying Ashes Series, Book 4

By Annathesa Nikola Darksbane

People thought Ashes was the scariest thing around; she wishes they were right.

After barely surviving an Ur-demon’s wrath, Ashley Currigan needs a breather. Time to recover from one love lost and explore the possibility of another. Instead, she’s hounded by a literal pack of wolves, an avatar of terror, and a delusional vampire with deadly skills.

And the worst mistake of her life, one that won’t stop haunting her and that she’ll stop at nothing to erase.

But when these enemies converge on her friends and family, Ashley realizes she’s facing something far worse: someone is hunting the city’s oldest secrets to fuel a ritual that could consume every soul in the Magic City.

And while Ashley fights to stop it, Tamara—the woman she loves—is slowly falling apart, starving herself as her world crumbles.

Outnumbered, outgunned, and out of time, Ashley must rally unlikely allies and make impossible choices. Because with more at stake than she realizes, every misstep leaves wounds that may never heal.

Even for the dead.

Dread and Ashes is vampire urban fantasy for readers who love strong female leads, found family fighting impossible odds, and haunted heroines under apocalyptic pressure. Daniel Faust meets Kate Daniels in a series where sometimes, survival just isn’t enough.
