"Some ghosts never leave us." A sequel to WHEN EARTH TURNS TO ASHES. On that fateful winter night, Cinder tried to banish the ghost of her mother. But when strange things begin to happen, Cinder begins to wonder if she is really gone. TW: SUICIDAL IDEATION

"Selene always had a darkness about her-almost as if her shadow was a living being there to torture her forever." Cinder Linh has been on the run since she was seventeen- but from what? Will her past ghosts catch up to her after a near fatal accident, or will another person mysteriously die by the choking inferno of flames? Kaito Crown lives the most ordinary life of best friends, school, and a future forced upon him. But will that change when he saves a mysterious girl from a burning car? Will he be able to help her, or will he become another one of her victims? This story is a continuation of my oneshot, Flames, in "Tales Untold- Kaider." These characters belong to MARISSA MEYER! Also, the lovely picture on the cover is not mine. If you enjoyed this story, you can go read the sequel now titled RISE FROM THE ASHES.

I love Cress and Thorne and had a few "headcanon" ideas for what kinds of adventures they got up to right after Winter. So... enjoy!
