An Ember in the Dark

By Kayla Maya

Perfect for Fans of The Witcher, The Serpent and the Wings of Night, and The Bone Shard Daughter.

A magicless witch.

A brooding God losing his power.

A kingdom corrupted by darkness.

In a world where gods walk among mortals and shadows whisper of forgotten truths, Crescent never wanted to be anyone's chosen. But when she makes a desperate attempt to save her sisters life, her fate is no longer her own.

When she's forced to work with Roark, the brooding warrior with shadows stitched into his past, ancient forces begin to stir, making Crescent discover her connection to the divine isn't just a curse-it might be the key to unmaking everything the gods have built. Crescent's blood hums with the kind of power that gods would kill for-or kill her to keep from discovering.

But gods are dying. The old ones want vengeance, and the new ones need Vessels to survive.

When an ancient war reignites, she and Roark must unravel the truth behind Crescent's origins, outwit creatures that shouldn't exist, and face the gods who never forgot her name.

Even if Crescent doesn't remember it herself.

As Crescent grapples with the growing power inside her-and the feelings she can't name for Roark-she must choose: surrender to the darkness rising within or become the spark that defies it.

Because in the end, even embers can burn down empires.
