From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes book three in her beloved Flesh and Fire series…

The only thing that can save the realms now is the one thing more powerful than the Fates.

After a startling betrayal ends with both Sera and the dangerously seductive ruler of the Shadowlands she has fallen madly in love with being held captive by the false King of the Gods, there is only one thing that can free Nyktos and prevent the forces of the Shadowlands from invading Dalos and igniting a War of Primals.

Convincing Kolis won’t be easy, though – not even with a lifetime of training. While his most favored Revenant is insistent that she is nothing more than a lie, Kolis’s erratic nature and twisted sense of honor leave her shaken to the core, and nothing could’ve prepared her for the cruelty of his Court or the shocking truths revealed. The revelations not only upend what she has understood about her duty and the very creation of the realms but also draw into question exactly what the true threat is. However, surviving Kolis is only one part of the battle. The Ascension is upon her, and Sera is out of time.

But Nyktos will do anything to keep Sera alive and give her the life she deserves. He’ll even risk the utter destruction of the realms, and that’s exactly what will happen if he doesn’t Ascend as the Primal of Life. Yet despite his desperate determination, their destinies may be out of their hands.

But there is that foreseen unexpected thread—the unpredictable, unknown, and unwritten. The only thing more powerful than the Fates…

Review

“I’m nothing with you, liessa … And there will be nothing without you.”

5 stars!

Oh my heart, what a read! Sera and Nyktos’ story continues to captivate with a dramatic, exciting and surprising read full of twists and reveals, big moments, and an epically swoony love story. This book had me glued to my kindle, and the entire final third had my heart racing and madly flipping pages into the early hours of the morning, desperate to see what was coming next. I freaking loved it!

About this series – each of these books MUST be read in order. Beware spoilers below for previous books.

Picking up exactly where the last book and its hideous cliffhanger left us, we find Sera and Nyktos in Dalos, the home of Kolis, the false Primal of Life. It feels like a big shift in the series with this book, as most of the action takes place in Dalos, concentrating on Sera’s interactions with Kolis and his court. It’s intriguing, and a little disturbing as we spend time with the bad guy and come to understand just how complex he is. It’s a slower pace than what I was expecting, and I was missing the action and the fun interplay that you usually get from this series, let alone the characters that I was expecting to be reading about. But it’s a build-up, and we learn more about the world, Sera’s role in it, and the realities of all that she and her friends and allies are planning.

“You’re brave, strong, and resilient. You don’t need anyone to fight your battles. You never have. You don’t now.”
My  chest rose and fell rapidly as I listened to him.
“But I will fight for you.”

And then the story shifts, and holy damn. From a slower pace with lots of introspection, it’s suddenly all happening, and all of that build-up was worth it for the epicness that is the second part of this story. I won’t go into details, but if you’re a fan of the series, this book will give you everything that you’ve been hoping for… and more. It’s exciting, there are fun moments, scenes that made me cheer and made me cry, and it’s a freaking swoonfest – passionate and blissfully romantic, it’s everything I wanted for these two, and just… wow.

“Even if I’m not looking at you, you are still all I see … I see you, Sera. I always have.”

And, of course, there’s the moment that that whole series has been building to – Sera’s approaching Ascension. It’s intense, and my heart was pounding as it all plays out, and even though you kinda know what to expect, when you’re caught up in the moment, my emotions were all over the place, and I felt it all!

“I know who you are, Sera, and what you mean to me. And that is everything because you are everything to me” He pressed a kiss to my forehead. “And that will never change.”

There’s still one book to come in this series, and even though the story isn’t over, this book ends in a great place. I am so excited to see where we go from here.

Fantastic – 5 stars!
