“A Shadow in the Ember takes us back from before blood and Ash and brings us to wars between primal and gods. It dives into the world of niktos and Kolis, and Serafina. Book one gives a lot of world building and character building along with the magical politics of the lands of the primals and gods. This is a very important books that sets all things in motion. Especially for Blood and ASH WHAT A Great book, can’t wait for book two.”
