A Shadow in the Ember (Flesh and Fire Book 1)

Product Information

Welllllll I finally finished this. This book was so incredibly angsty. The journey Sera and Nyktos have to go on is a slow burn and full of so much tension I slammed the book closed more than once.

Nyktos has a plan, though, and as they work together, the last thing they need is the undeniable, scorching passion that continues to ignite between them. Sera cannot afford to fall for the tortured Primal, not when a life no longer bound to a destiny she never wanted is more attainable than ever. But memories of their shared pleasure and unrivaled desire are a siren’s call impossible to resist. No solo he disfrutado de la trama, de las escenas de acción y demás porque es un libro que me ha dado todo lo que me gusta, es que este libro también es un libro con personajes muy potentes. Sera es un personajes increíble, su personalidad de no callarse una, su actitud y también se nos presentan sus debilidades. Los personajes secundarios son inolvidables y únicos, al igual que el impresionante personaje masculino principal.The audio version was exceptional and Stina Nielsen did an amazing job narrating this book. She brought all the emotions to another level and made this experience even more unique. Perfect combination between story and audio performance. Ending- Even though I liked the cliffhanger, the ending as an overall felt underwhelming. It was also a bit predictable. 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.

She is taken by Nyktos to the Shadowlands to become his Consort, where she meets members of his court and the draken. We know with Aios and Bele that they ascended and it's def a possibility that they thought this was the only way to control the narrative. Esperaba que cuando se va al mundo humano, a ver a su hermana, sucederá algo más sin embargo, queda esa parte muy floja, luego está la parte de la coronación que también se queda corta y falta de acción.Sera is sparring with Sir Braylon Holland. She blindly throws a dagger at a dummy and Braylon tells her she needs to work on her aim. He reprimands her about running wild about the capitol and Sera recalls that in the past three years, there have been two instances where someone found out who she was and attempted to kidnap her. She believes that Tavius had been behind the rumors. The two speak about how Sera punched the Prince because he had a horse whipped and then begin talking about how Sera poisoned Tavius’s fiancée so that she would fall ill and prevent Tavius’s ascension to the throne. She also writes Adult and New Adult contemporary and paranormal romance under the name J. Lynn. She is published by Entangled Brazen and HarperCollins. maybe kolis will choose to let her go because he realizes it would be like killing sotoria (the love of his life that jumped off a cliff because she was scared oh him)??? Aunque van sucediendo cosas, no es prácticamente hasta las últimas 100 páginas que ocurre toda la historia… además, lo que ocurre lo he ido prediciendo a la hora que iba avanzando la historia, así que me ha sorprendido más bien poco. After the events that take place in the last half of the novel, Bele is badly injured. Seraphena uses her powers to heal Bele, but as it turns out, she actually ascended her.

He wishes he never had his kardia removed. He wants to love her and hates himself for being her damnation. Honestly, this entire book is one big painfest. I love them so much, I seriously do. It's nice to know that in the present time (FBAA timeline) these two are together and she ascended, are madly in love and had two children. I know it gets all messed up because of reasons we do not know yet but it's always good to know they will get their happy ending. She also has the power to heal others and to take their pain from them. We later realize that this is because she contains the ember of life within her. She also has the ability of resurrection. Ash/Nyktos Rise.” Ash’s voice was deeper, louder. A powerful thunder. “Rise for the One who is born of Blood and Ash, the Light and the Fire, and the Brightest Moon.” He said, and my eyes cut to him as my breath caught.Sera was a excellent protagonist to follow, both simultaneously strong and soft, courageous and flawed, and I liked the similarities that played out between her character and that of Poppy. We get a little easter egg about the Balfour family which as FBAA readers know is Poppy's last name.
