Ashley Abbiss
Biography
Hello there. I’m Ashley Abbiss.
I live and write in beautiful New Zealand, where I live with one large dog, who looks nothing like Friend from my Daughters of Destiny books. She is, however, almost as intelligent and definitely as opinionated, and if she can’t quite speak in the way Friend does to Niari, that doesn’t really hold her back much!
I write fantasy, mostly of the epic variety. Let me say right up front that if you’re looking for a quick read, you’re in the wrong place. But if you like a substantial, satisfying story that you can really get your teeth into, stick with me. I may have something you’ll enjoy. There’s no graphic sex in my books. If that’s what you want, you’ll have to look elsewhere. There is violence, and there is swearing, though mostly of the ‘s/he swore’ variety, nothing overly graphic or offensive. I also write about strong, independent female characters, so if your taste runs to something more macho, or something more frilly and helpless, this may not be the place for you.
I’ve always loved wandering in different worlds, be they fantasy or science fiction, although lately I tend to prefer fantasy. The only proviso is that they have to be believable worlds, worlds that feel real, that have depth and scope – and they must, absolutely must be fun to visit. I read for escape and entertainment, and I don’t really want to escape from this world into one even grimmer. Trouble, tension, and danger I can deal with, what sort of story would there be without them? Where would Pern be without Thread, Frodo without Sauron, Harry Potter without Voldemort? But there has to be hope, and there has to be a light touch. Happy ever after does have a lot going for it, even if initially it’s only a very small light at the end of a long, dark tunnel. My personal favourites include Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy, Anne McCaffrey’s Pern series, and the fantasies of David Eddings, and lately, they’ve been joined by J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and a few others. Of those, David Eddings was probably my greatest inspiration.
I began to wonder if I could create my own world, one just as believable and multi-layered as theirs. Could I create a world with its own history, geography, social structure, deities, and all the rest? One that hung together? That a reader could believe in? It became a challenge, one I really wanted to see if I could meet. So I dusted off my writing skills, learned a few more, cranked up the imagination, and got busy. I’d always been good at creative writing, but though I’d made a few attempts to write after I left school, none of them came to anything. That was until I started writing fantasy. Suddenly, I knew I’d come home.
I quickly discovered that I’m not the sort of writer who can plan a book (or a world!) before I start. I just can’t do it. But I can create characters, and suddenly the characters took on a reality of their own and took over the stories, often to the extent that they actually surprised me. And the stories worked. Their world worked. Sometimes I had to go back and fix the odd contradiction, but mostly it worked and was very natural and organic. Even though my first attempts were pitiful, I knew I’d found where I belong. I persevered, I learned, I wrote. I discovered that the characters are key for me. Once I get them right, they tell their own story. I was away. There were dark days during which my stories became my refuge, my characters my friends. And I kept writing. There were happy times when I didn’t need a refuge, but my characters were still my friends, and they drew me inexorably back. I kept writing.
And now, I hope my characters may become your friends too, my worlds ones where you also like to walk; perhaps even your refuge from dark days. Come join me in a world where magic is real and the gods are near, where beasts talk and men and women achieve things they never dreamed they could. But most of all, come and have fun!
Happy reading.
Ash.

The dragons do still exist, and the dragonrider folk are on the move again. Along with the father that they now realise isn’t crazy after all, the twins must try to make it to the dragonfighter stronghold, the only place they will be safe, pursued all the way by a group of ruthless dragonrider assassins and hunted from the air by dragons.
Safe in the stronghold, the twins begin their formal training as members of the dragonfighter armed forces. Meanwhile, their father departs on a mission to learn the meaning of the cryptic utterance that was made to Tren by a dragonrider.
What he finds will tear the twins from their training and send them, half-trained and out of their depth, hurtling towards a confrontation that could decide the future of their world.

The Temple of the Damned
The Ancient Shrine
Tassatina
The Beggars of Nebreth City
The gods are at war. But should they fight their own battles they would certainly destroy the very thing they’re fighting over - the world. So they choose humans to fight for them, with prophecy to guide them and occasional divine intervention when things get really tough. But life can be difficult when you’re born to fight the battles of the gods, especially since you didn’t get a choice. Niari and Carlitha, sisters, sorceresses and champions of the gods, along with their companions, both human and animal, struggle to fulfil prophecy and fight the very battles of the gods themselves. These are stories of epic adventure and magic, but they’re also about friendship and trust, about discovering one’s destiny and one’s strength and learning to accept who and what you are. Come join some very human heroes in a fantastical world where magic is real, where beasts can speak with humans, and the gods are nearer than you might think – and more human and fallible than you might imagine.

The SuperReceptive
by Ashley Abbiss
Urzites – telepathic animals of many species, as intelligent as humans.
Receptives - humans who can hear Urzites. Most can only hear the animal who is their partner, although there have been a very few SuperReceptives who can hear more than one Urzite.
The Receptive-Urzite pairs function within the government-run Warden Corps.
Naya Sheydaughter does not want to be a Warden. But when it’s discovered that she is an extremely rare SuperReceptive, it looks as though she may not have much choice. And when agreeing to become a Warden is the only way to save a cat’s life, it seems she has none at all. The SuperReceptive is a series of five novels. In the first, Naya recounts how she became a Warden. Then Slink the fox, Stumpy the donkey, Hoo the owl and Mewla the cat all tell part of the tale as they go through their training, become a team, and set out on their first mission together.

Irilayne, Runaway Princess
by Ashley Abbiss
Irilayne was born a princess - and she hated it. So when her father tried to betroth her to Lord Griblon, she ran away. But now her father has been assassinated, her brother the new king is missing, and Griblon is claiming the regency as her betrothed. He has the signed betrothal document, but Irilayne knows she didn’t sign it. He also has magicians to help him, so Irilayne will need magic, too. But magic comes at a price. How much is she willing to sacrifice to save her country? In book one of this fantasy adventure series, Irilayne must find out what’s happened to her brother and help him claim his throne if he’s still alive, while also trying to avoid being caught by Griblon. In book two, she must work to stabilise her beloved country and heal the damage done by her father’s death. And with both internal and foreign threats to contend with, that’s not going to be easy. Join Irilayne, runaway princess in these epic fantasy adventures as she tries to save her country - and herself - from a fate worse than death, and learns to accept who she is and embrace her destiny rather than run from it.
