Ashes to Ashes

Ashes to Ashes

She woke up dead in a lake. Now she’s got a second chance—if the undead don’t kill her first.

Robin Sullivan doesn’t remember how she died. Just that she crawled out of Lady Bird Lake wearing someone else’s Sunday best and no pulse. Welcome to Hellhound Academy—Austin’s secret training ground for the recently resurrected, where cadets like her protect the living from supernatural threats... or get recalled to the underworld.

Marked by a mysterious brand and shadowed by a crow with glowing eyes, Robin’s only clue to her past is a flicker of memory and a gnawing suspicion. Someone murdered her, and the Academy may be in on it.

With enemies on every level, undead squadmates with secrets of their own, and a clever instructor who might be alive—or worse—Robin must survive combat trials, twisted monsters, and deadly conspiracies buried beneath the city.

Because in this afterlife, your second chance comes with an expiration date.

Dive into Ashes to Ashes, the explosive first book in the Hellhound Academy series—a gritty, fast-paced urban fantasy with found family, dangerous magic, and a heroine who refuses to stay dead. Book Two, Dust to Dust, is coming soon—get started now.

Okay, I'm a late bloomer who's a big DC comics fan and spent my childhood summers on the Jersey shore in the U.S. but have had a weird wanderlust to live in different parts of America ever since. That's enough about me. Need to feel inspired today? Looking for something to make you root for an ordinary hero? I'm all about that in everything I write.

I love a good tale that makes me wonder about things and I love a story even more that leaves me feeling inspired or like I'm capable of doing more than I realized. That's my goal with everything I've ever written. Some of the stories I tell involve twisting, turning thrillers and others have a lot of magic.

There's something to be said for getting lost in another world and coming out the other side feeling a little better about yourself or the possibilities in front of you. That's basically the best part of life in a nutshell, no matter what kind of story I'm setting out to tell.

Thank you for checking out my stories! There's more at www.oriceran.com.
