A glass blower with a unique ability.
Ember Farrow breathes magic into every piece of glass she makes. It’s a gift handed down through generations in her family of fire elementals-- all the way back to when her great-great-grandfather created Cinderella’s slippers.
But then the slippers are stolen. . . and Ember is the prime suspect.
An FBI agent determined to crack the case.
Every criminal claims to be innocent, and Agent Calder Ford isn’t easily convinced. Still, his gut tells him there’s more to this case than meets the eye . . . and the same goes for the fiery woman who challenges him at every turn.
She may not be a crook, but she’s definitely hiding something . . . and Ford’s going to figure out what it is.
A family legacy that could set the world on fire.
Ember must clear her name while hiding a dangerous family secret: The slippers are more than a relic from a fairy tale. They have a dark history and a deadly power of their own. As she and Ford follow the clues to find them, she begins to fear the thief knows exactly what they have and how to use them.
If that’s the case, they’ll be coming for the only other person on earth with that knowledge.
Ember.
EXCERPT
In Of Glass and Ashes Ember Farrow is a magical glass
blower whose ancestor actually created Cinderella’s famous glass slippers. When
the slippers go missing, the FBI sees her as the prime suspect. Here’s a little
snippet from when she’s hauled in for questioning by Agents Calder Ford and
Sasha Alvarez.
Looks like Ember’s in a bit of trouble . . .
"So you don't have any idea where they are?" Ford
asked.
"No." She looked him straight in the eye. "I
don't."
"Do you know who might want them?" Alvarez asked.
"A lot of people, I guess," she replied, dragging
her gaze over to his partner. "Art aficionados, collectors. As I said, I
don't think they're something you could sell easily, so it would have to be
someone who wanted the Slippers themselves."
"And you're saying that's not you." Ford slipped
the photo back into the file and closed it. Time to lower the hammer. He shot
Alvarez a glance, but she simply arched a brow as if to say go for it.
"No, it's not me," Farrow said with an irritated
huff. "I didn't have anything to do with this."
"And you were not in New York last month?"
She blinked, obviously taken off guard. "Well, yes,
actually. I was there for a glass blowers convention."
"And you went to the New York Museum of Art?"
She shifted in her seat, darting a glance at Alvarez, as if
hoping she would swoop in and save her.
"I did," she said slowly. "I went to see the
glass exhibit there, but that's not unusu—"
"What if I were to tell you," Ford interrupted,
drawing her nervous gaze back to him. "That the Slippers were being transported
to the NYMA, but the crate was switched somewhere along the way. That a pair of
forgeries ended up at the museum."
"That's—" She swallowed thickly. "That's
terrible, but—"
"And what if I were to tell you that forensics
specialists were able to trace a Magical signature on the forgery crate? One
that both appeared at the NYMA, and at the Louvre?"
Her brow creased and she shook her head. He had to hand it to
her, Ember Farrow could play innocent with the best of them. "Well, then
why aren't you talking to whoever that
is? It seems like—"
"We are," Ford said abruptly, and he watched her,
waiting for the realization to set in. "It was your signature, Ember
Farrow. On the crate. On the fakes. At the museum in New York and at the
Louvre.
"So, I'm going to ask one more time: Where are the
Crystal Slippers?"
