Description

The curse may be lifted, but Emberfall’s peace is fragile—rumors of a false heir, the return of forbidden magic, and a kingdom edging toward war threaten everything Prince Rhen has fought to protect. With Harper at his side and his missing guardsman Grey raising more questions than answers, loyalties fracture as secrets surface and love finds room to grow in the darkest corners of power. Meanwhile, Grey’s own hidden past and dangerous knowledge collide with the rising threat posed by Karis Luran, forcing him to choose between self-preservation and the fate of the realm. Brigid Kemmerer blends lush, high-stakes fantasy with sharp emotional stakes and morally complicated choices, delivering a fast, romantic, and suspenseful continuation where every alliance is tested and every heart has something fierce to survive.

dnf'd at 30%. i just kept trying to push through it, but the reviews for the book and the final book in the trilogy prove that its not worth it. these characters i fell in love with in ACSDAL have died a moral death. rhen is a cruel villain, grey is a broken man with an unexplainable motive, harper has been reduced to fodder to build development for other characters. what happened to disabled strong FMC harper? to loyal to a fault grey? to tormented and full of love rhen? why are noah and jake nothing more than an excuse to tag the book as inclusive/lgbt+? they're not here. harper, jake, and noah are just a noise in the background as rhen becomes his father and grey becomes a warmonger?
