Ash of Ember

Everyone is born a Human, but not everyone dies a human.
It's partly genetics, partly luck.
A blessing.
A Curse.
Ashvyn Carver is Changed, a human with the ability to control one of five elements. At home, she acts human; playing the part of a good and loyal citizen of the Republic. But Changed are outlawed and any caught within the State are subject to forced removal and/or arrest.
Ashvyn loves her family and her country. Hell her father runs the damned city. But when her abilities are accidentally revealed at a family function, Ashvyn's forced to flee.
With the help of Xander, her brother's best friend, and her lover, Ashvyn finds herself in the middle of Kaitia's center of operation. Navigating the ways of the rebellion isn't easy, especially when once again, Ashvyn is forced to be something she's not. No one can know her family ties to government for if they do, it won't end in an arrest. It'll end in execution.
