ASHES OF THE PASTUpdated at Oct 28, 2026, 23:51
Two years ago, Star Brown watched her mother die in a fire that destroyed everything she called home.
Now eighteen and starting over in New York, Star wants nothing more than to leave the past behind. But the silver pendant her mother gave her refuses to let her.
When the pendant suddenly opens, Star discovers a hidden message:
Find the box. Trust no one.
Before she can understand what it means, someone attacks her and calls her by a name only her mother used.
“Estrella.”
Desperate for answers, Star begins digging into her mother's past and soon realizes the story she was told about her mother's death doesn't add up. The deeper she searches, the more she uncovers a world of power, betrayal, and secrets her family has spent years trying to bury.
Then there is Kylie. Arrogant, rebellious, and dangerously protective, Kylie is the one person who seems to know more about Star's past than he should. He warns her to stop asking questions, yet he is always there whenever danger finds her.
The closer Star gets to the truth, the closer she gets to Kylie. Their constant clashes slowly become trust, attraction, and something neither of them is prepared for. But Kylie is hiding a secret of his own.
A secret connected to the people hunting Star. And when Star finally discovers what Kylie knew all along, the trust between them shatters.
Now, with enemies closing in and her family's buried past threatening to consume everything she has left, Star must decide how far she is willing to go for the truth, and whether the man she has fallen for is the one person she can trust… or the one person she should have feared most.
Some secrets survive the flames. Some betrayals come from the people you love.
And some ashes are never meant to be disturbed.
