A warrior with a mission There isn’t a buffalo or deer that Kajika cannot take down. So when his cousin is slaughtered he relishes the chance to track down the killer. The trail leads him to a woman with gifts he has trouble believing in. Despite their differences he cannot fight his instinct to protect her from all threats – even those he cannot see. That drive even rivals his desire to explore every inch of her body. A woman with a destiny Knowing the spirits will protect her, Ahyoka allows the handsome warrior to take her to be questioned by his chief about the unexplained deaths in their village. He may not believe in her abilities but he is one of the few who doesn’t treat her like something to be feared or shunned. He awakens feelings that make her yearn for things she thought she’d never have. Her biggest fear is that once he learns the full extent of her gifts he will reject her like most of her tribe did. A killer twisted by hurt and anger Kajika and Ahyoka must work together to find the one responsible for the string of deaths in and around their villages. Faith, trust, and even a little bit of love will be needed to defeat the killer and right the wrongs committed in the pursuit of power and revenge. "WHEN ASHES REMAIN is a mystical, historical romance filled with a wealth of kind and caring characters, the feel and presence of strong spirits beyond the veil and a dark soul lost in their own nightmarish world....Ms. Garson's writing and the world she has created make the pages and time fade away as we become one with the story, the atmosphere and each turn this tale makes. From the first page I was drawn in and held captive by Ms. Garson's style. A beautiful, raw and powerful romance to enjoy!" - Dianne, Tome Tender Dena Garson is an award winning author of paranormal, steampunk, fantasy, and sci-fi romance.
