A Layer of Ash (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781726782142)

Betrayed and alone, Alaji flees from a force beyond time. If the Citadel finds her, they will take her past, her memories, and her very self.

After escaping death at the hands of giants in the era of floating islands, she goes in search of a place to rest and regroup. And in a small village in a quiet era, she believes she's found it. The town of Hilleleah reminds her of the home she can't return to. Its people are kind, if simple, and they offer aid freely.

But the longer she remains, the more she'll uncover about the secrets they hide. And she'll soon question whether there is any time in history that's truly safe.

A Layer of Ash is the sixth novel in the time-travel fantasy series, The Citadel of the Last Gathering.
