From the Ashes: An Anthology of Elemental Urban Fantasy

by Zelda Knight, Sandy Parsons, Christi Nogle

From the Ashes features eight contemporary urban fantasies.

An augmented peacekeeper worries about what his blind girlfriend will see after surgically restoring her eyesight. The goddess Cailléach searches for yet another embodiment of the Dragon of Winter, but things don’t go as smoothly in the contemporary world as they did in the past. When a Phoenix’s love for a witch blazes too brightly, only a visit from beyond the grave can hope to rekindle life from the ashes.

Curated by award-winning editor Zelda Knight, this short fiction collection contains elemental magic and fire-based mythical creatures benefiting burn survivors.
