If the whispers call your name, run!
Seventeen-year-old Ashina has more in common with an untamed fire lizard than the people who are supposed to be her new family. After running away, she’s drawn to the city’s mysterious Great Well. No one knows who built them across the world or why. To linger near makes the skin crawl and the mind drift in nightmares. And yet this one calls to Ash in whispers that pull her closer.
Despite the warnings from a handsome stranger with gorgeous eyes, Ash searches for answers in dangerous places. Soon she’s caught in a tangle of peculiar events she can’t explain or escape. When both her sanity and life are threatened, she realizes she has more to lose than she thought. Ash must find the answers before she loses everything she holds dear.
If you like dragons, magic, and a fierce heroine with a wounded heart, then you’ll love Well of Ash, a YA Fantasy novella by Elle Cardy. Jump in today to unravel the secrets.
If you’d like to support me by buying a copy, then it’s also available on Amazon for Kindle and Paperback.

The optional IWSG question of the month: Why do you write what you write?
As Elle Cardy, I write young adult epic fantasy. I also write scifi short stories and anything that has speculative elements. My fiction will always have something otherworldly and unusual. It will always have fierce female leads. And it will always have some kind of mystery that needs unraveling mixed in with high stakes. Why? Because that’s what I love to read.
I prefer stories that are set in other worlds, or stories with otherworldly elements.
Stories that are quick and easy to read.
Stories with heroic acts and lots of heart.
Stories that show people overcoming impossible odds.
Stories that aren’t bogged down in politics or court intrigue.
Stories that aren’t weighed by complex worldbuilding that has nothing to do with the plot or characters. (But I do love intriguing worlds)
Stories that open the door to imagination and adventure.
Why do you read or write certain stories?
Please mark Well of Ash "To-Read" on Goodreads. Every little bit helps.

I like to read stories that flow well and entertain and intrigue me--like your Wielder Storm series. Well of Ash did the same. I kept reading because I had to know about the wells. You did a great job holding my interest.
