Peyton Phillips has spent her entire life believing the law exists to protect the innocent. As one of the youngest attorneys at her father's prestigious firm, she's built her life on procedure, evidence, and the certainty that truth eventually finds its way to the surface. Then she represents Rhys. His case should have been impossible to ignore. Instead, it was quietly finished. What begins as an attempt to clear one innocent man soon unravels into something far larger than a wrongful conviction. Buried inside decades of court records, psychiatric evaluations, and forgotten case files, Peyton discovers a pattern no one else seems willing to acknowledge. Witnesses disappear. Families are rewritten. Memories become illnesses. And the people who ask too many questions are taught to doubt themselves before anyone else has the chance. The deeper Peyton digs, the more her own family's history begins to fracture beneath her feet. Because some truths aren't hidden. They're contained. Ashes Don't Obey is the haunting second installment of the Ashes Trilogy, a psychological mystery with supernatural undercurrents about inherited silence, institutional power, and the courage it takes to become a witness when everyone else insists you've remembered wrong. She was raised to obey. Now she chooses to remember.

Bryce had been a good kid. A better than good kid actually, with his sense of justice and high morals. He wanted to be a police officer and do good things for his community and the world. But then he was kidnapped because of one of his many good deeds, and worse yet, he had dragged his girlfriend, Krissy, into the dangerous mess he had made for himself. Their kidnapper was a woman, a mother, who blamed him for her son's imprisonment and later death. The woman's goal was to torture him, break him, and turn a good kid bad. It wouldn't have worked if not for Krissy - the good kid's one weakness. The one thing he would do anything for, including becoming a Monster.
