But most important of all, she also meets Kaisa, a huntress employed by the king, and it is Kaisa who truly awakens Ash’s desires for both love and self-respect…Ash escapes a life with her grim and self-serving stepmother and finds her beloved one… ASH is a fairy tale about possibility and recognizing the opportunities for change.
