What am I, you might ask? I am a wraith, whispered of in the vilest of taverns with broken reverence, as if my very name could call me to their doorstep. I am a villain, cursed with the skill to kill. I am a man and an animal, a half-breed caught between two worlds. I am a Wolf stuck in a Human soul.

Who am I? I am your worst nightmare; a killer who stokes terror into the staunchest of men. Folk tremble at my name. I terrify The Emperor. I might've once infiltrated his court and assassinated his right-hand man... don't tell anyone or I'll have to kill you, even if I am trying to be reformed on that kind of thing.

And yet, perhaps most of all, I am a scarred monster yearning for a home. Plus, there is an annoying inner voice I can't seem to shake. I may need to add insane to the above description.

This is my story.

Warning!! If stories of redemption with an anti-hero who still has a conscience but was forced into Very Bad Things isn't your thing, I'd move on. If you don't like exploring forgiveness of past wrongs and seeking change, this isn't for you. If violence, action, blood, high stakes, and a MC with a tortured past looking for healing doesn't sound interesting—this book definitely isn't for you.

If you enjoy clean reads with humor, numerous pointy objects of defense and maiming, men and women who turn into animals, plus fuzzy, adorable baby dragons WAY later in the book, this is for you. Enjoy.

Update: Ashes is done, all sixty chapters. I'm going to put it in Volume (1) and put Book Two as Volume (2). If anyone has any problems with this... eh, hopefully you won't, but let me know if anything is confusing.

Planning on doing first chapter release of Phoenix on February 14th. What better way to celebrate a day of love than a chapter? I think it's the best way to celebrate anything, but that's just me. Until then, enjoy sneak peeks into other things. Thanks for reading! ~ Rhea <3
