With the war finished, El thought peace would finally come.

She was wrong.

After playing a pivotal role in freeing her nation—and the world—from the twisted influence on the burning Spark in her chest, El wants nothing more than to sit and savor the new fiery pork bomb (mark two). Too bad for her, there’s work to be done. Somebody needs to return the stolen Embers to their rightful homes, and El’s ability to travel the In-Between is the key to making that happen.

So, alongside her wing, her brother, and an enemy-turned-ally, El sets out to see the world, make some friends, and usher in a new age of peace. At least, that had been the plan. Instead, she finds massive bears with stone for fur trying to eat her, a group of refugees being hunted by the local army, and, of course, a forgotten enemy threatening to tear apart the peace she worked so hard for.

Now, to keep it all together, El will have to teach these new foes why it’s such a terrible idea to get on her bad side.

Join El on her next high-flying adventure to visit distant lands, make new allies and enemies, and reach unheard of levels of power, from the best-selling author of Rune Seeker, CJ Thompson.
