Age of Ash follows the story of Alys and Sammish in Kithamar; a city of extreme divides between the poorest and richest in society. Alys and Sammish make a living by working in teams to steal from the wealthier citizens. Just one of the many jobs they do in order to survive in a harsh environment. When one of their heists goes wrong, it ends in Alys’s brother being murdered.
Alys is determined to find out why her brother was murdered and while searching through his belongings a woman appears to her in a candle flame. She goes in search of this woman and when greed and grief consumes her she starts down a very dangerous path. Sammish follows Alys, helping in any way she can, blinded by her love for her until they come to a crossroads.
I don’t want to say much more on this because I really enjoyed learning all about the woman in the flame, how her brother died and what happens to the friendship of Sammish and Alys. The ending was satisfying but there are lots of questions left and I am looking forward to learning more about Kithamar and the dark spirit that is at its root.
