Ash

In the world of ASH, fairies are an older race of people who walk the line
between life and death, reality and magic. 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. 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 ...

ASH is a fairy tale about possibility and recognizing the opportunities for
change. From the deepest grief comes the chance for transformation.
