**THIS VERSION IS A PARTIAL. YOU MUST PURCHASE THE COMPLETE NOVEL FOR THE ENTIRE BOOK.** You’ve seen Antoine before. You’ve seen him walking in his high black boots, his long, flowing coat catching the wind and charismatic demeanor as he would stop and smile. Everyone wants to know him. He is captivating. Alluring. Exotic. Mysterious. But you haven’t really seen him. He is haunted and hunted by the same demons that follow him around every corner. Despite his transgressions, he is still regarded highly in society. A paranormal researcher wants to write a book about him. And several others become enamored with Antoine’s keen sensitivity, creating a growing, infecting obsession with this mysterious creature. But with the obsession comes a price. No matter how much one can try to transform, can the wretched be forgiven? Ashes will take you on a journey - the struggle to understand one’s inner self in the midst of chaos and madness. As the glimpse of light seems so far through darkness, the journey towards redemption is where the soul lies.
