They Left The Ashes Behind (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

The night the cathedrals burned, Moira walked out veilless.

They called her blasphemy, then miracle. She called herself a beginning.

With Branna at her side and a chorus of girls who won't kneel again, Moira sings open the red gates of a fortress-convent and finds what the Church buried: children shorn and branded, voices starved to prayer. What follows is not a war for saints-it's a relentless tending: knives laid down like seeds, relics broken into root and bloom, a gospel rewritten in breath, consent, and choice.

From ember forests to sea-bright cliffs, the thornline rises-gardens where names are spoken without shame, where altars become circles, where forgiveness is a ritual of listening and leaving no one alone with their ache. As the High Scribe, High Voice, and High Blade tighten their grip, Moira and Branna refuse the old bargains. They won't die divine-they'll live free.

Fierce, lyrical, and unashamedly tender, They Left The Ashes Behind is a dark, feminist fantasy about unmaking sanctified violence and growing something wilder in its place: a world where girls are sacred because they are theirs. Expect psalm-fire and thorn-gold, a love that chooses staying after survival, and a chorus that breaks doors without asking permission.

Content notes (non-graphic): religious oppression, institutional abuse (depicted as past harm and resisted on-page), thematic violence, consensual F/F intimacy, grief, healing.

Autorenporträt

About the Author

Laura Carpenter writes cinematic, emotionally charged romance and thrillers with Irish heart, razor-edged stakes, and lived-in tenderness. Her stories blend love and danger, intimacy and aftermathwhere every bruise has meaning and every act of mercy leaves a mark.

Born and raised in Dublin and Belfast, Laura builds entire worlds rooted in realism, resilience, and the quiet power of connection. Her work explores the edges of devotionhow far we'll go to protect the people and places we love, and what forgiveness really costs when the storm clears.

When she isn't finishing another book, she's already plotting the next oneusually over strong tea, soft music, and too many notes in the margins.
