Ashes and Ashes

In a world undone, connection is the rarest survival.

Vira Kestral has always known how to keep her distance - from danger, from the past, from anything that feels too much like hope. But when she joins a tight-knit team of survivors, the walls she's built start to crack under the quiet strength of those around her, especially one man who sees her for more than she's ready to admit.

Together, they face the shifting dangers of a fractured world, where loyalty, trust, and fleeting moments of peace are as vital as food and fire. And as bonds deepen, Vira must decide what it truly means to belong and what she's willing to risk for it.

A slow-burn romance woven through survival, tension, and found family. This is a story of quiet devotion in a loud, broken world.
