About the Book
When the Blight begins swallowing villages and hope alike, Lyra—a blacksmith’s daughter with ash under her nails and fire in her chest—discovers the Heartfire, a dangerous flame that answers only to courage. With a haunted wanderer at her side and a town on the brink, she must decide whether one stubborn spark can stand against a living darkness.
Epic in scope and intimate at heart, THE SHADOW OF EMBERFALL is a page‑turning fantasy about resilience, found family, and the cost of holding the light when everyone else has set theirs down. Readers who love the lyrical magic of Naomi Novik, the grit of Sabaa Tahir, and the myth‑touched shadows of Leigh Bardugo will feel right at home.
Inside you’ll find: a heroine with steel in her bones and smoke on her hands; a slow‑burn alliance that tests loyalty and fate; ancient ruins, ember‑lit forges, and a Blight that feeds on fear; battles under a dying sky—and a promise that even a single ember can start a dawn.
- Heroine with steel in her bones, forging magic and hard choices.
- Found-family bonds and a slow‑burn alliance.
- Ancient ruins, ember‑lit forges, and a world-eating Blight.
