In The Wake of Ashes

Product Description In the Wake of Ashes continues the saga of William Fylbrigge, which began in Lorrieann Russell's first novel, My Brother's Keeper. In the year 1607, he was an idealist and reluctant heir to the Duke of Stonehaven. A trumped up charge of witchcraft brought about his torture, trial, and apparent death¾the only proof of his innocence. Left trapped within a broken body, his memories stolen from him, William Fylbrigge seems condemned to spend the rest of his life confined to an invalid's chair, forced to live under an assumed identity. Five years later, William "Philbrick" lives peacefully in the tiny settlement of Port Edin, New France, with his wife and their young son. But peace is short-lived. In a cruel twist of fate, an innocent trek into the forest with friends goes terribly awry, and he is once again believed dead, and inadvertently left behind just as his family is called to return to Scotland. Lost, alone, and haunted by nightmarish memories of his former life, William must once again navigate a path through fire, and face again the demons of his past, to reclaim his future¾and his life. About the Author I have spent the better part of my adult life trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I also spend a good amount of time daydreaming, and cannot remember a time when I did not have one epic adventure or another going on in my head-my own private movies. I mentioned this silly little habit to a friend one time, even retelling one of my stories. I then scoffed at her when she suggested I commit it to text, never believing I would have the ability to tell a decent story. But, having all the time in the world available, and a word processor, one sunny morning I thought "why not" and decided to use my active imagination for a change, instead of trying to keep it under control. The result being My Brother's Keeper and this sequel, In the Wake of Ashes.
