Crossing the Ashes

Ashen Ferry When Xiao Yu was eight, the crowd swallowed her up at a temple fair night market. Shen Jin ran after her and found only a sodden piece of pink candy wrapper. He was the only man to survive the Ash Project. With his vocal cords severed and his body covered in old wounds, he lived under an assumed name and spent ten years repairing cars in Bangkok. Everyone told him to stop looking. No one who crossed the Ashen Ferry ever came back. But he refused to believe them. One beat-up pickup truck, and a heart that had yet to cool. When rage burned through every rule, he finally understood: The Ashen Ferry has no end unless you become the ferryman yourself.
