Magic abandoned humanity millennia ago. Now it returns, bringing ruin to a wanted thief, and her chance for redemption.
When ash fell like snow, everyone it touched grew ill with fever. Most died. Ada Renwick didn’t. She endured the ash plague, food shortages, and brutal riots, turning to thievery to keep her jewellery business afloat. But when she draws earth magic from a stolen gem, she doesn’t only learn of magic’s return. She causes an accident with lethal consequences.
Running from her crime, Ada loses everything. Yet, using magic feels as natural as breathing. She’ll do anything to get another magic gem, even join a war she wants no part of. It’s not until Ada meets a woman who can wield fire magic that she realises some things are worth fighting for.
But fire burns anything that gets too close.

Eryn wants only one thing – to kill the beast that was once the woman she loved. Yet no matter how desperate Eryn is to end her beloved’s suffering, the beast has proved invulnerable. Eryn’s only hope comes from an imprisoned immortal and the costly deal they offer.
Arlan craves justice for the deaths of his family at the hands of a mage. Despite being a lord, Arlan has no power to confront the Mage Guild over covering up what happened, for only a mage can fight a mage. But when Eryn crashes into Arlan’s life, the Guild’s lies begin to unravel.
Fates bound by quest and history, Eryn and Arlan must unite to fulfil the immortal’s deal. But the Mage Guild has other plans for Eryn. As the pair fight to survive, Arlan may finally get his chance for justice, if he can bear the truth buried in the Guild’s lies, and Eryn will have to decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to finally put the woman she loved to rest.
Set two hundred years after the events of Gabrielle Steele’s standalone debut, Reborn in Ash, ECHOES OF CHAOS begins a dual POV epic fantasy series, Elements of the Fallen, with a new cast and new ways to break your heart.
