Ash - Malinda Lo
In the wake of her father's death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel
stepmother. Consumed with grief, her only joy comes by the light of the
dying hearth fire, rereading the fairy tales her mother once told her.
In her dreams, someday the fairies will steal her away, as they are said
to do. When she meets the dark and dangerous fairy Sidhean, she
believes that her wish may be granted.
The day that Ash meets
Kaisa, the King's Huntress, her heart begins to change. Instead of
chasing fairies, Ash learns to hunt with Kaisa. Though their friendship
is as delicate as a new bloom, it reawakens Ash's capacity for love-and
her desire to live. But Sidhean has already claimed Ash for his own, and
she must make a choice between fairy tale dreams and true love.
Entrancing, empowering, and romantic, Ash
is about the connection between life and love, and solitude and death,
where transformation can come from even the deepest grief.

really wants to be.
