Run. Fight. Or die. The magical world is coming for you. On her farm in rural Montana, Ashley believes she has a normal life. Sure, her father is gone a lot on business and her childhood is a mystery. But life is good. Until one night changes everything. Masked men attack her home, burning everything and killing all in their path. A strange boy named Cole comes out of nowhere on a frantic mission to save her life. She's thrust into a world she never knew existed-a world of dangerous secrets, gun-wielding saviors, and magically adept villains who look just like everyone else. But the threat doesn't end there. The men who burned her home are hunting her for a dark and deadly reason, one that goes deep into the past she's never been able to remember. One that means they will stop at nothing to find her. One that means Ashley is far more than she appears. ~ Book One of the Kindling Trilogy ~ #1 - Kindling #2 - Ignite #3 - Wildfire Previously published as The Children and the Blood
