Description
A Shadow in the Ember: Flesh and Fire, Book 1.
From bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes the first novel in the gripping Flesh and Fire series, set in the same captivating universe as Blood and Ash.
Seraphena Mierel was born to fulfill a destiny she never chose. Raised as the sacred Maiden foretold by prophecy, her future was decided before she took her first breath. To honor an ancient bargain that saved her people, Sera is expected to become the Consort of the mysterious Primal of Death.
But beneath her carefully guarded identity lies a dangerous secret. Sera is no helpless sacrifice—she has been trained as a deadly assassin with a single purpose. She must earn the Primal’s trust, make him fall in love with her, discover his greatest weakness, and ultimately destroy him. If she cannot complete her mission, her kingdom will be consumed by the devastating plague known as the Rot.
All her life, Sera has accepted the roles forced upon her: chosen one, royal consort, assassin, and living weapon. She has believed herself to be nothing more than a tool shaped by bloodshed and sacrifice. Everything changes when she meets the Primal of Death. His unexpected kindness, unwavering strength, and irresistible presence challenge everything she thought she knew about herself and the mission she was born to carry out.
As forbidden feelings begin to grow between them, Sera finds herself torn between duty and desire. With the fate of an entire kingdom hanging in the balance, she must decide whether to follow the path laid out for her—or risk everything for a future she was never meant to have.
