Gabrielle Ash

Gabrielle Ash writes urban fantasy that brings supernatural danger into the offices, family obligations, and crowded streets of modern Manhattan. The Unrighteous Son is the second novel in the Circle Seven trilogy, following The Family Cross and continuing Matilda Ashby's entanglement with a hidden world she hoped to leave behind. Locus reported the sale of the second and third Circle Seven books to City Owl Press, confirming the sequence and publisher. ThriftBooks independently records the 2022 edition and describes Matilda's search for Samson, her former bodyguard, after evidence reaches her that he is in danger. Necromancers, former enemies, and demands from the family business complicate that rescue. Ash makes Matilda's practical education and corporate background part of the tension because neither prepares her for the rules of supernatural conflict. In The Unrighteous Son, Gabrielle Ash balances action, romantic attachment, and divided loyalty while asking whether kindness can remain a strength in a world organized around power.
