Armentrout is the 1st book in her new Flesh and Fire series. I am such a big fan of Armentrout, as she always gives us fantastic fantasy stories, and wonderful lead characters. A Shadow of the Ember is a prequel to her wonderful Blood and Ash series, taking place thousands of years prior to that series.Seraphena (Sera) Mierel, our heroine, was born to be an assassin, fulfilling her part in a deal made by her ancestor (made by the Primal of Death) all those years before, as she has trained to be a powerful weapon, and help her country survive by weakening the current Primal, and killing him. When she comes face to face with becoming his consort, to her shock he refuses and leaves; her family treats her badly, blaming her for the failure to join with the Primal. Sera is lonely, and keeps herself private, continuing to train as a warrior. Along the way, she meets Ash, and a slow build romance begins, with both feeling the intense attraction to each other.When her evil brother takes over the throne, he is determined to destroy Sera, and it is Ash who comes to her rescue. The caveat, Ash is Nyktos, the Primal of Death, who originally (3 years ago) refused her to become his consort, which he felt he did not need. Nyktos saves her life, and he takes her to his home, to become his Consort. It is here where we meet all of Nyktos’s wonderful warriors that guard him, and when they get back home, we meet many more wonderful secondary characters.Nyktos was wonderful with Sera, patient, kind and their chemistry was off the wall; very steamy, as well as emotional. The longer she spends time with him, Sera realizes she is having strong feelings for him, worried that she would not be able to do what is expected of her, when the time came. I loved Nytos and Sera together, and prayed things would work out between them. Sera was a great heroine, totally outspoken, fierce, a warrior, and loyal; Nyktos was also great, and we couldn’t help fall in love with him; especially how he protects and takes care of all in his realm. Sera and Nyktos were so good together, with the banter and sexual tension between them. I also loved seeing more of the Drakens (Nektas and his two adorable tiny drakens), as well as the fabulous secondary characters that helped make this such a fantastic read.What follows is an exciting action filled adventure that had me holding my breaths so many times. The last third of the book was mind-blowing, with heart wrenching, emotional and many surprising twists; with me unable to put the book down.A Shadow in the Ember was another intriguing story, with wonderful world building, and lots of action, suspense, violence, betrayal, passion and fantastic characters. Jennifer L. Armentrout has once again written such an amazing high fantasy, with two wonderful heroes, destined to be together. From start to finish, Armentrout kept me glued to my kindle, with this wonderful world she has created. I cannot wait to see what Jennifer has in store for us. If you have not read the Blood and Ash series, you need to start with that, then read A Shadow in the Ember. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent start to a new series! *by E***C on Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2021* A Shadow in the Ember is book one of the Flesh and Fire series, which is a companion to the Blood and Ash series.This is the story of Nyktos, the Primal of Death, and Sera, his Consort.Nyktos and Sera have never had a choice. A deal made centuries ago has bound them together. Trained to become his weakness, Sera must get Nyktos to fall in love with her. But is the Primal of Death even capable of such an emotion?Nyktos is so much more than The Primal of Death, and there is a reason his people feel safe with him.He is protective and thoughtful. His sweetness to Sera, and his willingness to give her what she needs, without taking for himself, speaks volumes. And it also seems like the complete opposite of what one would assume the Primal of Death to actually be like. He has a conscience and understands what taking a life does to the soul.But he is also closed off and in need of more.Don't get me wrong. He is powerful and dangerous, and he can be eerily calm, detached, and downright scary. His power is unbelievable and unfathomable.It's interesting to see Nyktos here after meeting him in TCOGB. In TCOGB, he seems a little broken (for obvious reasons). Here, he is so young and humorous (at times), but he is also jaded and burdened by so many things. Seeing him open up to Sera is both beautiful and heartbreaking.Sera was born with a single purpose. End the Primal and restore life to her kingdom. She is fiery, unapologetic, and willful. She is also reckless and impulsive, and seems to have little regard for her own life. And I get it. She was raised to be a weapon with an expiration date.But Sera is also lonely underneath her bravado. A simple, kind gesture from Nyktos begins to unravel everything, and it places her between duty to a kingdom and loyalty to herself and her heart.I absolutely love the connection between Sera and Nyktos. And I can't get into the why of it without spoilers. They are so right together, but neither seems to trust easily - or even understand why they cannot seem to stay away.So many questions from the Blood and Ash series are answered through Nyktos and Sera's story. There are interesting twists, and I am a fan of the larger world building.We meet some fascinating characters in this story and learn about the politics of Iliseeum - where things aren't necessarily what they seem to be.I am very much looking forward to book two! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Muy buena historia *by V***V on Reviewed in Mexico on June 15, 2024* Él libro está increíble, valió cada centavo. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Shadow in the Ember (Flesh and Fire) - A Light in the Flame: A Flesh and Fire Novel - A Fire in the Flesh: A Flesh and Fire Novel: 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/292197283-a-shadow-in-the-ember-flesh-and-fire](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/292197283-a-shadow-in-the-ember-flesh-and-fire) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
