Prepare for the jaw-dropping finale
of Sabaa Tahir's beloved New York Times bestselling An Ember in the Ashes
fantasy series, and discover: Who will survive the storm?
Picking up just a few months after
A Reaper at the Gates left off...
The long-imprisoned jinn are on the
attack, wreaking bloody havoc in villages and cities alike. But for the
Nightbringer, vengeance on his human foes is just the beginning.
At his side, Commandant Keris
Veturia declares herself Empress, and calls for the heads of any and all who
defy her rule. At the top of the list? The Blood Shrike and her remaining
family.
Laia of Serra, now allied with the
Blood Shrike, struggles to recover from the loss of the two people most
important to her. Determined to stop the approaching apocalypse, she throws
herself into the destruction of the Nightbringer. In the process, she awakens
an ancient power that could lead her to victory--or to an unimaginable doom.
And deep in the Waiting Place, the
Soul Catcher seeks only to forget the life--and love--he left behind. Yet doing
so means ignoring the trail of murder left by the Nightbringer and his jinn. To
uphold his oath and protect the human world from the supernatural, the Soul
Catcher must look beyond the borders of his own land. He must take on a mission
that could save--or destroy--all that he knows.
My Thoughts
I have put off starting this series since the first book
came out. And boy, am I glad that I did. Now, I can binge read the entire thing
at once. Without the years of wait between sequels. Also, this cover is
GORGEOUS! It’s probably my favorite cover of 2020. I just hope Penguin releases
a box set of all four books so I can have them all in these lovely matching covers.
It is kind of sad, though, that my original copy of An Ember in the Ashes
is signed. Guess I can’t get rid of it unless I hate the series. And I really
hope I don’t hate it.
What book are you
waiting for this Wednesday?
Soooo can't wait for this one either!!
