17-year-old Aiella has lived her entire life in the shadows of caves following the post-apocalyptic aftermath of a fiery pandemic. She’s been taught that the surface is ruined by a supernatural disease, scorched by forces no human could survive. But when a member of her found family vanishes without a trace, Aiella risks everything to find her, and emerges into a world far more dangerous than she was told. Volcry is a fallen city wrapped in ash, ruled by a fire-wielding man who sees straight into her thoughts. Her blood holds a secret. Her name is already known. And the truth about what destroyed the world might begin, or end, with her. How much will she have to sacrifice to uncover the truth? Ashlight is the first book in a coming-of-age YA dystopian fantasy series about hidden elemental powers in a post-apocalyptic world, with a girl who was never meant to survive on this earth, let alone change it.
