Buy The Ashen Flame

By Alexei Sassani

The Ashen Flame is available now on Kindle.

Ash Mother Farah Kianzad investigates a beloved Rose Mother whose eleven marriages raise a question the forms cannot answer: when one person is priestess, patron, counsellor and lover, where does one role end and another begin?

A literary fantasy set in the fictional Ateshi world — alternate history, institutional mystery and a faith that gives the body unusual religious weight.
