When detective Hank Snowdon started noticing strange piles of ash throughout Portland, he took it upon himself to investigate further with his unusual but dedicated partner, Luci.

Traveling through the decaying factory district where most of the bizarre ash occurrences materialized, he found there was more to the sudden manifestations than met the eye. Testing this peculiar ash, he discovered that they were in fact...human!

Sort of...

Confronted by a warrior named Benton, who has the ability to disintegrate other beings with his flaming sword, Hank's world continues to spiral away from reality. Especially when he inadvertently discovers a whole new world, unknown to most of humankind...along with the surprising realization that he is inescapably tied to this new and magical land.

Discover a new take on Alexia Purdy's Dark Faerie Tales series...one from the point of view of the "normal" human world!

This story can be enjoyed as a stand alone but should be read after History of Fie (A Dark Faerie Tale #5) to avoid spoilers. This is considered book #6
