I’m listening to one sweet, beautiful and epic melody on repeat right now, and you know why? One insanely talented Goodreader, Fleur, has composed a song based on Myra’s Little Bird from Chapter 10!



One of the main themes in Kingdom of Ashes is the human need to create art. So when I started writing, I had one dream in mind, one dream, that mattered to me more than anything else. I hoped my book would inspire readers to create, be it fanart, fanfic, music videos or anything at all. I felt that the moment this happened for the first time, I would have accomplished what I had set out to do. But never in my wildest dreams had I imagined someone would compose a melody!

Perhaps it’s because out of all art forms, music is the one where my talent is the tiniest, and where I wish it were the greatest. Whenever I try to create anything music-related, I feel like Tristan when he tries to paint or write again – I need it, but then I try, and it just doesn’t work. Maybe that’s why it never occurred to me the first Nightfall-inspired piece of art would be a song. And now I couldn’t be happier about it!

“Nightfall - Little Bird” by Fleur

Enjoy and make sure you tell the artist what you think!

Happy listening <3
