Ash: Awakening
She was left under a tree and was found by dragons.
When Ezra Firebrand-the most powerful dragon-watches a human mother abandon her infant beneath an oak tree at the border between worlds. Every instinct tells her to fly away. Dragons don't raise human children. The two species have been at war for a thousand years. But a mountain cat is circling, and Ezra's daughter Aya is already begging, and Ezra, against every law of her kind, brings the baby home.
One feeding of dragon's milk changes everything. By morning, the baby has wings.
Now named Ash, the child grows up caught between two worlds-half human, half dragon, belonging fully to neither. She can breathe fire, but it answers to her emotions instead of her will. She can fly, but her reflection in the river shows a face that matches no one in her family. When a forbidden friendship with a human boy draws her across the border, Ash sets in motion a chain of events that will force an army of dragons to the gates of a human village-and bring her face to face with the mother who left her behind.
Ash is a story about the two bravest things a parent can do: letting go of a child you can't protect, and reaching out to one the world says you shouldn't love. It is a story about fire, wings, and the radical, defiant act of choosing to be a family.
