Revin is a reliant and tenacious woman, one of the only femailes who hunts and trades wild dragons. A chance to capture a rare golden dragon sends her on a quest to a small village far to the north--deep into uninhabitable mountains—in the heart of a fierce winter.
The village of Awakening’s very existence is a paradox that is only the beginning of surprises that await Revin. A stranger she calls “Blue Eyes” brings up feelings she’s never experienced and a woman, the leader of the village, is oddly familiar though they’ve never met before.
The journey becomes more than just the hunt as Revin unravels a conspiracy behind a ceremony, The Gathering, and something called the Time of the Burning. The situation becomes dire when she learns that the ritual may involve her and the golden dragon.

I don't usually read fantasy but was attracted to this novella. It's a short read (according to Kindle, at my reading speed it took about 1-1/2 hours), but it has just about everything. There's a little romance, a mystery, and a tough woman heroine. There's also a golden dragon, a spirit world, and a secret. The settings are well done and easy to picture, and the plot carried me through to the satisfying ending. I really enjoyed it and will pick up more fantasy novels in the future.
Peter Cruikshank weaves a wonderful tale.
I found this Novella to be very enjoyable reading. Ashes of the Dragon is a well written story with excellent character development. Peter is a wonderful storyteller, and this novella provides some background information for the Dragon-Called book series. If you love medieval fantasy, good story telling, and enjoyable characters, then this is the perfect novella for you.
