She commands an army of the dead—and still cannot stop the light that turns living cities into glass.
Elara Vane watched Marreth die from forty miles away. Three hundred thousand people became transparent glass in a single night. The Seraphim, beings of living First Flame, consume a city every eight days, and neither walls nor her three hundred seventy-two dead legionaries can stop them.
The dark lines of the Void already climb her arms, and the price of this war may be her humanity. But beneath her fortress, under a gray cloth, lies the one mind she trusts: Alistair Thorn, a strategist dead for seven months—and perhaps not entirely gone. To bring him back, Elara must build a bridge between life and death using forbidden texts.
She won't be alone. Karren, her tattooed master-at-arms, Senn, a young necromancer who hears the dead, and a mysterious message from her enemies in the Inquisition shift the board. The Seraphim are bringing an apocalyptic perfection that leaves only art where ash should be. Against them, an outcast necromancer, an Inquisitor, and a man who has crossed death's border must learn to trust each other.
If you love necromancer heroines, dark fantasy war, slow-burn romance that survives death, and found family in the apocalypse—this is your next read.
