A Shadow in the Ember: Flesh and Fire, Book 1

by Jennifer L. Armentrout (Author)

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns with book one of the compelling Flesh and Fire series - set in the beloved Blood and Ash world.

Born shrouded in the veil of the Primals, a Maiden as the Fates promised, Seraphena Mierel’s future has never been hers. Chosen before birth to uphold the desperate deal her ancestor struck to save his people, Sera must leave behind her life and offer herself to the Primal of Death as his Consort. 

However, Sera’s real destiny is the most closely guarded secret in all of Lasania - she’s not the well protected Maiden but an assassin with one mission - one target. Make the Primal of Death fall in love, become his weakness, and then...end him. If she fails, she dooms her kingdom to a slow demise at the hands of the Rot.

Sera has always known what she is. Chosen. Consort. Assassin. Weapon. A specter never fully formed yet drenched in blood. A monster. Until him. Until the Primal of Death’s unexpected words and deeds chase away the darkness gathering inside her. And his seductive touch ignites a passion she’s never allowed herself to feel and cannot feel for him. But Sera has never had a choice. Either way, her life is forfeit - it always has been, as she has been forever touched by Life and Death.

In a world where the sun is deadly and the night is alive with danger, a young woman named Sera must fight for her life and the survival of her people. She is a Shadow Hunter, one of the few who can venture out into the darkness and return unscathed. But when she is betrayed by those she trusts, Sera must find a way to survive on her own.

As she travels through the dangerous wilds, Sera encounters a group of rebels who are fighting against the tyrannical regime that rules their land. She joins their cause, and together they fight for a better future. But Sera soon discovers that the rebels have secrets of their own, and she must decide who she can trust.

As the rebellion grows stronger, Sera finds herself caught in a dangerous game of power and betrayal. She must use all of her skills and strength to survive, and she must make choices that will determine the fate of her people.
