The Legacy Series

They called her wicked. Unclean. A girl born wrong.

Evelyn Ashmoor grew up in a house ruled by scripture and silence. Her mother preached salvation through suffering. Her father turned a blind eye. And Evelyn was told—again and again—that something inside her was broken.

Until the night she vanished.

Now, she returns—not as the girl who was locked away, but as something more. Cloaked in smoke and shadow, Evelyn has found power, purpose, and a new kind of family in a traveling circus where the strange are sacred and the outcasts shine.

But reckoning has a price.

Back in the town that buried her truth, Evelyn must face the past, confront the woman who tried to destroy her, and decide just how far she’s willing to go to reclaim her name.

Beautifully dark and fiercely magical, The Girl in Smoke is a story of survival, chosen family, and the kind of strength that’s born from being told you’ll never be enough—and rising anyway.
