Beneath the Ashes

After her father’s death, Freya is drowning in grief, barely holding herself and her mother together. One night, desperate for an escape, she stumbles into a tavern and finds something unexpected: a poster offering a fortune to anyone brave enough to slay a dragon terrorizing a distant town. The reward could change her life, but accepting it means leaving her mother, risking everything, and facing a deadly monster. With her past weighing on her, Freya must choose–stay and struggle or step into the unknown.
