Ashen Vale

Step into a collection of strange forests, forgotten children, whispering ruins, and stars that watch from above. In Ghostlight and Threadlines, fleeting moments blaze like lanterns in the dark-each story a glimpse into a world just slightly removed from our own. A boy bonds with the last unicorn under a starlit sky. A forest remembers the sorrow it was rooted in. A child collects the tears of strangers, never aging, never speaking.
Dragons return not to burn, but to choose. And a silent monk guards wishes like seeds, waiting to bloom. Blending elements of dark folklore, magical realism, and quiet fantasy, this lyrical flash fiction collection captures the haunted, the hopeful, and the forgotten. For readers who find magic in the margins and meaning in myth, Ghostlight and Threadlines is an invitation to listen closely-to the things we almost remember, and the stories we thought we imagined.
