She chose the monster. Now she has to survive what's waking inside him.
Lyra Verren and Kael Ravaryn should be dead. Instead, they're running through a kingdom bleeding with corruption, across lands where the rivers run black, and the earth itself is dying. The rebellion believes in them. The regime wants them erased. And something ancient is stirring in the depths of the palace, hungry for the warlock who slipped its grasp.
The entity in Kael's blood was supposed to be dormant. Wounded. Contained. But with every mile they travel, it grows stronger, whispering promises, clawing for control, threatening to consume the man Lyra is only beginning to understand. She's seen what he becomes when the fire wins. She's felt it sear her skin.
But they're not alone in the wilderness. A hunter stalks them through the shadows, a woman who knows Kael's sins intimately and offers him something Lyra never can: absolution through surrender. And in the corrupted heart of Thornspire, a mad thaumaturge is building something terrible. Something that remembers. Something that wants revenge.
The bond between fire and root has never been tested like this. Trust fractures. Secrets burn. And the path to stopping what's coming leads straight through a city transformed into a nightmare.
Embers of the Exiled is the second book in the Rebels of Flame and Fern trilogy, a dark romantasy of slow-burn passion igniting, morally grey heroes, and an enemies-to-lovers romance where choosing each other is only the beginning.
Contains: explicit romance, a possessive hero at war with his own darkness, a heroine who refuses to run, and a cliffhanger ending.
The fire is spreading. The hunt continues.
