Echoes of Ash and Ivory

In a city divided by a generations-old feud, two people discover that some walls are meant to be climbed. Remy Thorne has always known his place-the west side docks, the family name that means loyalty and loss, the father who stopped speaking after his wife left. Elara Delacroix has known hers too-the east side compound, the weight of being the only daughter of the most powerful family in Verona, the loneliness of a life lived behind gates. When they meet at a party neither is supposed to attend, ten minutes by a fireplace changes everything. What follows is a love story that refuses to ask permission. A secret garden. A priest who believes in second chances. Two cousins who understand too well. And a city that's been waiting generations to remember that hate is a language everyone speaks-until suddenly, impossibly, they're not. ECHOES OF ASH AND IVORY is a sweeping contemporary retelling of the world's most famous love story. It asks the question: What happens when the children of enemies fall in love? And more importantly-what happens after? For fans of modern literary fiction with the soul of a classic.
