SHUFFLING YOUR WAY
TO BETTER FICTION
They are the Exiled, neither fully human nor divine, caught between Heaven's abandoned children and Hell's risen king. And somewhere in the spaces between worlds, the Adversary
is playing a game where the stakes are every human soul that ever existed.
IN THE DEEP,
EVEN SALVATION
COMES WITH THORNS
In a world where touch means death and love is treason, the Wellspring of all Life must choose: Sacrifice the one he loves or condemn her species to extinction. When duty collides with desire, even immortals bleed. Orchestrating it all is HIMM—a god for whom even kings are merely pawns.

Supplementing Ashes to Ashes, Sheley Rayne’s YA Fantasy Horror novel, her Dust to Diamonds Oracle Cards encourages young people to confront their fears and to think about their own scars differently. Sometimes the biggest monsters one faces are the ones in our own thoughts. Just as the pressure of extreme heat turns ash into beautiful diamonds, self-acceptance within the things that scar us emotionally can become our biggest strength.

TO SELF-ACCEPTANCE
