What if the hands holding up your sky are the same ones that crushed your world?
She is a fiercely talented painter whose soul was buried the day a catastrophic construction collapse destroyed her first studio. "Rescued" by a manipulative art dealer, she is now trapped in a sterile glass cage, forced to create flawless, deaf-mute art just to survive. She fears chaos. She fears the rubble.
He is a brilliant, cold-blooded chief architect haunted by a rotting secret. Ten years of ruthless corporate ambition led him to sign the safety-violation order that shattered her dreams five years ago. He is the executioner she never saw coming.
Thrown together in a dying therapy garden destined for the bulldozers, they forge a desperate, bruising connection. Driven by an obsessive need to atone, he is willing to sabotage his own billion-dollar firm, fight off excavators, and bleed in the underground basements of the Paris Biennale just to give her back her freedom.
But when the brutal truth of their intertwined past is exposed at the absolute height of her triumph, the fragile foundation they've built threatens to burn to ash.
Ash and Breath is a dark, emotionally raw contemporary romance that strips away the illusions of perfect love. It is a story for those brave enough to stop running, take a sledgehammer to their flawless cages, and realize that sometimes, the place that hurts the most is exactly where salvation begins.

About the Author
M.K Hoang is a Vietnamese author whose stories explore healing, memory, resilience, and the quiet courage to begin again. Blending literary fiction, contemporary drama, speculative fiction, and Asian-inspired fantasy, his novels examine how ordinary people confront extraordinary emotional journeys.
His works include the Transit to Yesterday, The Shattered Glass Rose, The Bamboo Teahouse, and Redrawing the Sky series, each exploring different facets of love, loss, identity, and hope. Beyond fiction, his professional experience in executive leadership and human resources inspires works that connect timeless wisdom with modern leadership.
Drawing inspiration from Zen philosophy, Vietnamese culture, and everyday urban life, M.K Hoang believes that true courage is not found in perfection or power, but in the willingness to embrace vulnerability and keep moving forward after life's greatest storms.
When he is not writing, he balances family life with a demanding corporate career, always searching for stories that remind us beauty often emerges from broken places.
