Ember, Iron, & Ash

“God, if you’re listening, give me a weapon to defeat my enemies, the oppressors who beat me, the supremacy that killed my husband and others like him before and after.”

A weapon, I said.

One to defeat my enemy, I said.

What I didn’t account for, was becoming the weapon myself. Stupid, stupid, stupid Ember. Be the change you want to see, right?

The Belle Meade Plantation would drive anyone mad, and I’d reached my breaking point. Slavery, physical and mental, was the hell I, along with so many other of my beautifully melanated counterparts, were trapped in, but today...it wouldn’t be the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation to set us free; it would be me!

Gifted with an unlimited amount of life force should be more than enough to avenge my loved ones and my sisters and brothers who came before me so that Ember willing, there won’t be any after!

Ember was gifted with a special power that allowed her to eradicate her oppressors. She didn't know that in avenging her husband's death, she too would come so close to dying, that an Egyptian god would save her life, hold her hostage and thrust her into a different time. Slavery was the old evil she defeated; the new one? Paranormal hunters are after Ember.

As she faces the challenges of being in a new time, while also running from the hunters who wish to see her dead, her heartstrings begin to pull for an unlikely man who has the power to harm her or save her.

How do you think Ember will fair in Ember, Iron, and Ash?
