About this ebook
Myra never witnessed the Nightfall. She has only heard stories from the eldest among them; tales of the Old World and of the scientists who invented the WeatherWizard—a technological innovation that controls the weather. Unfortunately, the device also gave an ambitious vampire prince the means to cover the world in impenetrable clouds, allowing his armies to crawl out of their caves and conquer all.
Vampires rule over the New World, breeding humans for food. After fifty years of guerrilla warfare, the Resistance is fading, its supplies dwindling. They must rally and succeed—and soon—or all hope of restoring human civilization will be lost.
When Myra goes on a desperate mission to help the Resistance, she ends up a captive in the vampires’ palace. With time running out, she must find a way to stop Prince Vladimir, and every wrong step leads to the death of innocents. Her battle abilities prove useless, but Myra discovers she has another skill that can give her an edge over her captors. Now, Myra must defeat the vampire leader at a power game he has been playing for almost two millennia.

She spent a year there, sharing a tiny basement room with a humongous rat and wishing her landlord allowed cats. In the absence of cats, she faced the rat in battle, armed with both modern and traditional weapons, including ultrasound, garlic, chili peppers, and fresh mint. The rat wasn’t impressed, but at least all vampires stayed away.She holds a B.Sc. degree in Physics and a M. Sc. degree in Mathematics, but her one true love remains speculative fiction.

Reviews for Kingdom of Ashes (Nightfall, Book 1)
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really liked this book, I think it had a really good pacing, like there was always something happening, I like that the villain was really cunning and i liked that main character she was really interesting, and i like her journey, i must say the book could uso some work in the timeline, with events and people getting places so quickly it feels like everything is happening in a small town, instead of a big terrain, and at the end the dialogue became somewhat, like i starred to skip some scenes, thing i didnt use to do at the beginning, but I think it's a solid 4.5 out of 5, has the energy of a freshly new author, let's hope she improves some things by the next book, I would recommend this book
