Ash Charming's life was anything but charming. He often felt like his name: Ash. Destined to be nothing. Forsaken to be no one. But a small voice in his head told him otherwise. The voice belonged to his late father, the greatest artist his small town had ever known. His father's art had the touch of fae magic, or so they said. When he died in an unfortunate accident, all magic died in Ash's world. He was left at the mercy of his cruel uncle. Was Ash destined for a life of misery, insults, and destitution, or did fate have something else in store for him? When the princess is kidnapped and taken to the fae realm, only Ash knows the way, as he discovers it in the sketchbook of his late father. What will Ash find once he gets there? Destinies cannot be stolen, or in Ash's case, cannot be avoided. Greatness awaits young Ash Charming, whether he is ready for it or not.
