About this product

A Shadow in the Ember is the first book in the Flesh and Fire series by Jennifer L. Armentrout, set in the Blood and Ash universe. This adult romance novel follows Seraphena Mierel, a young woman born under the Primals' veil and destined to become the Consort of the Primal of Death. Unbeknownst to all, Sera is not a protector but an assassin with one mission: to make the Primal fall in love so she can end him. If she fails, her kingdom will succumb to the Rot. Her path is fraught with danger, forbidden desire, and a growing connection that challenges everything she believes about herself.
