“The smaller the town, the bigger the secrets.”

Set in a small smudge of a town in Western Pennsylvania, WHITE ASH follows Aleck Zwerg, the frustrated but charismatic son of a coal miner, who long ago outgrew the bounds of what the town had to offer. Spurning a generational calling to work in the mine, Aleck’s been counting down the hours until he can get the hell out of White Ash and head off to college. But an accident at a coal mine stalls his exit, setting him down a life-altering path. One that brings him into the orbit of the enigmatic Lillian Alden, the daughter of the elitist owner of the mine.

From Conor Hughes
“I’m thrilled to finally have found a home for WHITE ASH in Scout, a great place for independent creators like us. They’ve consistently placed their talent at the forefront of their priorities. There ain’t no stopping this train now!”

From Charlie Stickney
“We’re incredibly proud to have WHITE ASH join Scout’s stellar line-up of titles. We have an epic story of fantasy, horror and forbidden romance, with many chapters left to tell.”
