About this book

A rich and compelling epic fantasy with a touch of the strange, from the author of Above.

The strange war down south—with its rumours of gods and monsters—is over. And while 16-year-old Hallie and her sister wait to see who will return from the distant battlefield, they struggle to maintain their family farm. When Hallie hires a veteran to help them, the war comes home in ways no one could have imagined, and soon Hallie is taking dangerous risks—and keeping desperate secrets.

But even as she slowly learns more about the war and the men who fought it, ugly truths about Hallie’s own family are emerging. And while monsters and armies are converging on the small farm, the greatest threat to Hallie’s home may be Hallie herself.

Reviews

Praise for An Inheritance of Ashes:

An Inheritance of Ashes by Leah Bobet is fantastic in the true sense of the word. Bobet’s unrestrained imagination deftly fashions an odd but remarkable story in a world that is beautiful and barely comprehensible.” —Quill & Quire

“War, community, long-festering anger, and forgiveness—all thoughtfully and deliberately conveyed.” —Kirkus Review
