The Ember is fading.
For centuries, the old flame beneath Elyndria held back the darkness, kept the seasons in order, and sealed the gates of immortality against those who would turn life itself into a throne. Now the flame is dying, the Hollowed are walking, and Queen Seraphina of Nighthaven has learned that the prophecy she tried to bury has returned.
Somewhere in the west, the Last Emberborn lives.
In the village of Thornwick, Lyra Dawnstrider is only a farmer's daughter with restless dreams, a sharp temper, and a fear of the fire that keeps calling her name. Then Seraphina's Hollowed descend on the village, Thornwick burns, and Lyra escapes into the mist with her mother and brother while something ancient awakens beneath her skin.
Guided by a wounded guardian named Kaelan, Lyra begins a journey through the broken heart of Elyndria: the Shrine of Embers, the Crystal Caverns, the Whispering Woods, the Skyreach Peaks, the Ashen Wastes, and the Forge of Eternity. To reach the Ember before Seraphina does, she must claim the elemental runes of water, earth, air, and flame, and learn that power without restraint can become another form of ruin.
But Seraphina's shadow reaches farther than Lyra understands. Prisoners are being kept in Mirror Keep. Cities are ruled by fear. Ledgers hold names the crown tried to erase. And the last flame may demand more from Lyra and those she loves than any prophecy ever warned.
The Last Ember is an epic fantasy novel about elemental magic, fallen villages, tyrant queens, found courage, sacrifice, and the long work of keeping hope alive after the battle is won.
