Though their friendship is as delicate as a new bloom, it reawakens Ash’s capacity for love-and her desire to live. Instead of chasing fairies, Ash learns to hunt with Kaisa.
The day that Ash meets Kaisa, the King’s Huntress, her heart begins to change. When she meets the dark and dangerous fairy Sidhean, she believes that her wish may be granted. In her dreams, someday the fairies will steal her away, as they are said to do. Consumed with grief, her only joy comes by the light of the dying hearth fire, re-reading the fairy tales her mother once told her.
In the wake of her father’s death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother. But most important of all, she also meets Kaisa, a huntress employed by the king, and it is Kaisa who truly awakens Ash's desires for both love and self-respect. As orphaned Ash grows up, a servant in her stepmother's home, she begans to realise that her beloved mother, Elinor, was very much in tune with these underworld folk, and that she herself has the power to see them too.Against the sheer misery of her stepmother's cruelty, greed and ambition in preparing her two charmless daughters for presentation at court, and hopefully royal or aristocratic marriage, Ash befriends one of these fairies - a mysterious, handsome man - who grants her wishes and restores hope to Ash's existence, even though she knows there will be a price to pay. Synopsis: In the world of ASH, fairies are an older race of people who walk the line between life and death, reality and magic. 1rkJiwader123seger1104 - Read and download Malinda Lo's book Ash in PDF, EPub, Mobi, Kindle online.
