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.
