Saturday Spotlight for Reborn in Ash

Saturday Spotlight for Reborn in Ash

Welcome to our Saturday Spotlight feature where we at Read Indie Fantasy will be hosting a new spotlight every Saturday to showcase the incredible talent of self-published fantasy authors!

Please welcome Gabrielle Steele and Reborn in Ash: A Thellian Standalone Fantasy Novel, featuring a tenacious thief who must navigate the changes brought about by magicโ€™s return.

Magic abandoned humanity millennia ago. Now it returns, bringing ruin to a wanted thief, and her chance for redemption.

When ash fell like snow, everyone it touched grew ill with fever. Most died. Ada Renwick didnโ€™t. She endured the ash plague, food shortages, and brutal riots, only for one merchantโ€™s greed to threaten her livelihood. To keep her jewellery business afloat, Ada turned to thievery. Now she wants revenge.

Breaking into the merchantโ€™s manor, Ada discovers unfamiliar gems that carry a shocking truth. Earth magic hides within them, and she can wield it. But the first time she does, she makes a mistake that leaves a man dead.

Sickened by her crime and hunted for it, Ada runs. Yet, using magic feels as natural as breathing. Sheโ€™ll do anything to keep it, even join a war she wants no part of. Itโ€™s not until Ada meets a woman who can wield fire magic that she realises some things are worth fighting for.

But fire burns anything that gets too close.

Reborn in Ash by Gabrielle Steele is a standalone dark epic fantasy novel releasing on 23rd October. For more information, including a look at the first chapter and content warnings, please visit the author’s website.
