About the Book
Title: Beauty from Ashes Excerpt
She could feel grime sticking to her face and the back of her neck. Her throat burned from breathing in quarry dust all day, and her skin itched from the heat rash blossoming from her knuckles up to her wrists. Acadia scratched at it furiously as she walked away from the cart, drawing blood.
She was so consumed with trying to alleviate at least some of the itching that she walked into someone standing in front of her. Acadia might as well have walked into a boulder. The other person didn’t give way at all. As Acadia recoiled back a step, she stumbled.
“Careful,” a gentle grip steadied her.
Her eyes flashed up, and she jerked her arm away.
Oh no.
It was that lunatic again.
“I thought I told you to stay away from me.”
“Hey, you bumped into me this time.”
Acadia scowled. His non swollen eye was crinkled up in a crescent. He was actually smiling. She couldn’t remember the last time she had seen someone smile, certainly never in Gehenna unless you counted the serpentine smirks of the guards when they did something particularly cruel. Not that his smile is particularly pleasant to look at, she thought as she appraised his disfigured and peeling face.
“I didn’t get your name earlier.”
“And you won’t.” She crossed her arms in front of her chest. “No one uses names here. It’s meaningless.”
“Not to me.”
She shifted her feet warily.
What was with him?
About the Author
Pamela Hart is the author of Beauty from Ashes and City of a Thousand Tears. Raised on a steady diet of fantasy, science fiction and anime, she spent most of her childhood failing to acquire a Boston accent. Since then, she has slurped ramen in Ikebukuro, stampeded through flamenco lessons in Granada, and splashed her way across a fishpond for the Milkman Triathlon in Dexter. During her travels, she tends to overpack horrendously, but never regrets cramming her backpack full of books to devour along the way. She wanders the planet with Joe, the love of her life, and her adorably maniacal Boston terriers, Willy and Marvin.
