Quick Reads 4

Daughters of Ash and Sorrow.
Some houses don't burn down.

They just wait and they carry whispers.......

Lymington, Hampshire 1812.
In a quiet coastal town, a family secret has lingered for generations - not spoken of, not forgiven, but never forgotten


Long after the fire is gone, after the dead are buried and the truth has been carefully folded away, the smell still lingers - faint, acrid, impossible to place. A reminder that something once burned here... and was never fully extinguished.

When Molly returns to her grandmother's house by the sea, she expects grief, inheritance, and unanswered questions. What she does not expect is the weight of history pressing in from the walls - the whispers, the silences, the women who came before her and the fire they carried in their blood.

As buried records surface and family stories begin to fracture, Molly uncovers a legacy of fear, madness, and survival - one that was never meant to be spoken aloud. Some truths were hidden for love. Others for protection. And some because no one believed a woman who needed help but was burned from the inside out.

Daughters of Ash and Sorrow is a dark, atmospheric supernatural thriller about inheritance, memory, and the quiet ways women are taught to endure the unthinkable - long after the flames have died down

'I'm loving it!"
"I'm losing myself in the story -"
"(it's) so immersive and descriptive. (The) observations of people's psychology is dramatic."
"I love the descriptions when you engage all my senses in them, it feels like I'm entering the room and experiencing the tension and action like a film in the head."
