Shapeshifters exist. Monsters are real. And no good deed goes unpunished.

Nursing student Ellie St. James didn’t mean to get involved in a war between rival gangs of shifters, but saving the life of a local mob boss’s child has dragged her into one. When Ellie’s life is threatened because of her involvement, she’s forced to go on the run, protected by Carter Ballis, head of security for the mobster’s family, and a lethal shifter himself.

Blood, fire, and warfare weren’t part of Ellie’s plans, but even if she survives, her life will never be the same. The world is more than she knew, and she’s seen too much. People capable of morphing into deadly creatures from legends and folklore around the globe are coming for her. The cost of staying alive means trusting Carter to defend her, and he’s every bit as frightening as the creatures that want her dead....

Ashes On The Earth is the first book in the Stones of Fire series by Sarah Ashwood.
Well written and a very intriguing storyline. The audio narration is very well read and enjoyable. I thought this was a great beginning and can't wait for the next book!

Great Story!!

This is a fantastic story of amazing shifters and a war between clans and a person who accidentally gets involved by being in the wrong place at the right time

Totally awesome

I love shifter genres. This is a first for this author, and Sarah Ashwood did not disappoint! The storyline and the characters are unique in who/why they shift, and their background of how they became shifters even more so. I already have book 2 and am ready to start it immediately!!
I listened to the audiobook version of this book and Melissa K Benson is a talented narrator. She's got a great voice, and her characters are believable. I especially loved Ellie. Her voice is perfectly performed (I especially enjoyed her 'attitude').
I'll let you know how book 2 is when I'm finished!

Unique

really enjoyed the storyline for this book and some of the characters in it. It has a promising idea that had me very intrigued. My only complaint was a certain character was just not to my taste and I couldn't like her, at all. Otherwise I enjoyed the book

This was my first experience with Sarah Ashwood's work, and I enjoyed it. This book started out great, it slowed down in the middle, and then it ended on a cliffhanger; therefore, it engendered a lot of mixed emotions for me. I loved the author's use of Greek mythology creatures for the shifter characters; however, the female human protagonist was at times strong, but at other times rather feeble as a character. The story had plenty of action and even some humor. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Melissa Kay Benson's narration was entertaining. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Poor Ellie, she got thrown into the middle of a war. She just wanted to go to school and spend time with her family. I enjoyed Carter, and how he cared for Ellie. I liked how unique the shapeshifters were in this book. The characters were well developed and the world building was amazing. The story kept you engaged and wanting more.

The narration was good. I enjoyed it, but at first it took me a while to get used to. Overall, it helped me relate to the characters. I recommend book and look forward to what comes next in the series. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
