Just the Beginning
Inheritance of Ash
Fourteen-year-old Eli Hartwell’s world unravels when he loses his mother, the one person who taught him to find magic in every wildflower and whisper of wind. Sent to live with a mysterious guardian in the remote British countryside, Eli discovers that the stories and rituals he once thought were only make-believe are woven with real, fading magic.
​
As Eli is drawn into a secret world of ancient traditions, hidden creatures, and a dwindling connection to nature, he must navigate grief, impossible expectations, and the hope that he might become something more than a boy trying to find his way. But with the magic that sustains their world slipping away, Eli will have to decide if he can carry the legacy of the old ways or if he will help spark something entirely new.
​
For readers who believe in the wonder just beneath the surface, Inheritance of Ash is a moving, magical coming-of-age tale about grief, found family, and the power of belonging.
