A Shadow in the Ember

Born prophesied as the Fated Maiden, Seraphena Mierel is raised in secret as an assassin. Chosen by her kingdom of Lasania to become the consort of Nyktos, Primal of Death, Sera's true purpose is to make him fall in love, become his weakness, and end his life to save her people from the Rot consuming their land.

But as she draws closer to the god who rules the Shadowlands, her mission begins to unravel into something neither of them expected. A Shadow in the Ember is the first novel in the Flesh and Fire series, a prequel set in the world of Jennifer L. Armentrout's From Blood and Ash.
