Ash and Angel

In a world of ash, an angel longs for freedom—can a firebird be her salvation?

In the crumbling ruins of Tangier, Perrin—an angel—has survived the brutal world of viejos and street gangs by hiding her light and fighting for every breath. But when a strange firebird named Michael crashes into her life, she is forced to confront the impossible dreams she has kept buried: escape, freedom, and finding the family she thought lost forever.

Michael comes from the forest sanctuary of La Mancha, where life flourishes in a world ravaged by ash. Drawn to Perrin by her resilience and mystery, he offers her a chance at a new beginning—but to Perrin, freedom seems impossible.

Can she trust a firebird with promises of salvation, or will she be doomed to remain a prisoner in the ash forever?
