It means that the embers are really strong, but also it’s not something that anyone knew that Eythos could do. Nyktos is not pleased with the outfit that Sera is wearing, and a small discussion ensues around that topic. I definitely recommend picking up this book – Ash and Sera are fantastic, the plot is captivating and you’re in for a wild but fun ride with a great cast of characters.

She watches as Ash keeps trying to fight Dakkais and Cimmerian, and he tells her that she can either remove the charm and come with him to save the lives of the people in Lethe, or she can ensure that everyone dies but Ash. I'm glad that Sera and Nyktos maintain their individuality because that's the issue I had with Casteel's characterization being almost non-existent in TWOTQ and dependent on Poppy. And I’m just going to be sitting here, impatiently and anxiously waiting for book 3 of Flesh and Fire because omfg the ending. I was screaming (on the inside) and pleading that whatever it was Sera walked in on was NOT at all what she truly believed.He kisses her even though he said it would never happen again, he touches her and cares for her in ways he shouldn't want to, but you cannot help but realise how kind he is despite what he thinks of himself to let something that massive go without truly feeling resentment. When Rhain says nothing, Ector gives his gratitude for saving him, and then Rhain follows with his gratitude. The two of them step out into the chaos of the fight, after Orphine agrees to protect Sera, and they continue fighting against the draken. My ultimate theory about WHY all the primals have been replaced with the Ash's close group in the future? Update: JLa answered a bunch of questions for the book club (FB JLA book club) and some theories must be wrong with the answers we got 😬 We also now know that book 4 will not the last book in the Flesh and Fire series and despite the fact we will have to deal with another cliffhanger I am super happy these two get more books.

All this brings up the sad realisation from Sera that she will die no matter what, the future she had hoped for is gone and her death remains the only constant. A love that Ash admits he cannot feel, not because of Sera but because he removed his kardia aka the part of himself he would have needed to feel love and the facets of it. Good old miscommunication will do that, but after a while, it became repetitive, and Sera’s inner monologues about her feelings were always the same. The next day, Sera is bored out of her mind and feeling restless, so she walks around the Castle with Saion, including eating breakfast at one of the rooms.

And then Attes walks right in, so the two Primals go toe to toe by showing off their primal energy and in their words. They are interrupted by Saion, who tells them that there is a problem at the gate, because the the Cimmerian are there. Sera decides to start kissing him, and it gets hot and heavy fast, but luckily they are unable to go any further as Nektas arrivesand asks them if it’s true that Nyktos has to go get permission from Kolis.

I hope he is playing the long con and he isn't a traitor but let's be fair he might just be stuck and if forced to be at Kolis's side. Both of their hands are imprinted with golden swirls–a blessing granted to the married couple if they are favored.I’ve been a fan of the Blood and Ash series since the beginning and absolutely loved A Shadow in the Ember and all the story we’re getting in the Flesh and Fire series. Rhain tells her that Veses somehow found out about Eythos’ deal and threatened to tell Kolis about it so that he could take Sera from the mortal realm and used her to get to Nyktos. Then they talk about the Coronation, and he tells her that they won’t be seeing each other tomorrow because there’s a belief that seeing one another before the start of the coronation will ward off bad luck. Between the two of them they are able to hold off Veses but barely, and Sera brings Reaver back to life–he was hurt terribly by Veses, to the point of death.
