It's the holiday season in Sahrahn—Bennua's favorite time of year. After saving her kingdom from the brink of war, Queen Bennua is looking forward to a relaxing holiday of peace, love and presents. Bennua longs to distract herself from memories of death and tragedy... and to forget the mistake that nearly cost her Zahid. There's just one problem—her husband hates the holidays. Not one to accept defeat, Bennua embarks on a quest, to give Zahid the best Tajdid Alnaar ever, and all the joy he never had as a child. But the past year has stricken Bennua with nightmares of grief, and trauma that won't go away, despite her best efforts to cover them with holiday cheer. Could Zahid be the one who actually gives Bennua the best Tajdid Alnaar present ever... the gift of unconditional love? ** A sweet, endearing, and emotional novella, Blessings from Ashes is a return to the wonderful world of the Kingdom Saga that readers have been begging for. A magical romance that's sure to invoke both tears and laughter, this companion short by USA TODAY Bestselling Author Megan Linski is a great addition to her popular middle eastern fantasy universe. ** Note to readers: Blessings from Ashes is a short Christmas/holiday themed Kingdom Saga special. It takes place a few months after the events of Fallen from Ashes and three years before the events of Redemption from Ashes. It is recommended you finish both Kingdom from Ashes and Fallen from Ashes before reading this short novella. Reading Redemption from Ashes first is not required, as it comes after the events of this book.
