About this ebook:
Winner of the 2025 Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published E-book Awards Winner of Book Nerdection's 2024 Reviewers' Choice AwardThe Warmth of Ashes is a science-fantasy family drama and coming-of-age story that will appeal to fans of Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House and R. F. Kuang’s The Poppy War.Maka Garrett has no hope of getting accepted to the Royal Institute. What would the prestigious academy for Ensom’s most powerful citizens need with a blind 17-year-old aura reader? She’s as ordinary as extraordinary gets, much to the disappointment of her mother Helen, who was banned from the Institute years ago despite her godlike ability to control the wind.And yet, it’s Helen who insists that Maka apply.Professor Soren Harkonen is furious that Maka even shows up to the interview, though she appears unaware that her mother is plotting revenge against him. He ruined Helen's life to save his boyfriend and has exactly zero regrets about it. Despite Soren’s best efforts, Maka is accepted to the Royal Institute when it’s discovered that her ability to read and extract the auras of books can be used to manipulate people.Maka is as reluctant to learn to wield this power as Soren is to teach her, but neither have a choice — the Queen demands a well-trained arsenal. Discontent has been brewing since the volcano at the heart of Ensom erupted ten years ago. An extremist group claims that the island only survived because the monarchy made a deal with the devil. And the people, still poisoned by the ashes, are starting to listen.When Maka’s ability suddenly evolves into something far more dangerous, she not only becomes the most terrifying student in school but a crucial pawn in the clash between the Queen and the extremists, as well as the key to Soren and his boyfriend’s freedom.That is, if Helen doesn’t convince Maka to destroy them all first.As Maka unravels the horrifying truth about what happened when the volcano erupted, she learns that no one is innocent. And in the end, she will be forced to make a harrowing choice: save her mother or save the island.

Honestly one of the most premium reading experiences lately. It strikes a perfect harmony of dialogue and world-building. Every chapter felt necessary. An absolute must-read for connoisseurs of the genre.

Honestly one of the most premium reading experiences lately. I adored how the story unfolded. It kept me captivated without sacrificing elegance. A true literary gem.

Not entirely to my refined tastes. The prose was competent, yet the characters lacked the depth I usually seek. Perhaps more aligned with a different audience's tastes.
