Rory Everet has survived by staying small, hidden, alone—until a chance encounter binds him to Trent, a man as dangerous as he is magnetic. Trent offers shelter, warmth, protection. But safety in this world is never free, and Rory begins to sense the cost of his new bond.

As the days bleed into nights, Rory finds himself caught between gratitude and unease, comfort and control. The closer he stays, the harder it is to tell the difference between kindness and possession.

And in a world where trust can mean life or death, Rory must decide whether surviving is enough—or if there’s still room to fight for something more. Ashen Green is a haunting tale of survival, intimacy, and the fragile line between love and power.
