Ashes of Maria
Before the demon came, there was only laughter, sunlight, and the sound of chapel bells. But the bells stopped ringing... and something behind the door began to stir.
Axel is seven. His little sister Maria is five. Their world is small—just a sleepy village, a warm home, and the endless fields around Drevane. They play, they argue, they sneak sweet bread and get scolded by their mother. Life is simple… until the dreams begin.
A door that shouldn't open.
A bell that hasn't rung in years.
A faceless thing waiting in the dark.
Set twenty years before a cataclysm that will burn their future, Ashes of Maria is a slow-unfolding fantasy mystery filled with childhood wonder, strange dreams, and quiet dread. As summer arrives and the village prepares for the annual festival, shadows stretch longer, and secrets buried in ash begin to stir.
Not every fairy tale ends with a happily ever after.
Some begin with laughter... and end in silence.
