    About this ebook

    Where do you run to when you’re running from yourself?

    Ash showed Faith a world beyond her books and lectures, but now that he’s dead, she has lost more than she ever dreamed. She drives into the night, and finds an unlikely companion at the far corner of the world.
    But she’s losing her grip, and the world of the real and the world of dreams begin to collide and to splinter.

    "C.S. Day is a deft and assured writer. Ash is a compelling and wrenching story which will draw you in and drag you along with it. A brilliant debut from a new talent." -Anthony Eaton

    C.S. Day
