## Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns with book one of the all-new, compelling Flesh and Fire series—set in the beloved Blood and Ash world. Born shrouded in the veil of the Primals, a Maiden as the Fates promised, Seraphena Mierel’s future has never been hers. Chosen before birth to uphold the desperate deal her ancestor struck to save his people, Sera must leave behind her life and offer herself to the Primal of Death as his Consort. However, Sera’s real destiny is the most closely guarded secret in all of Lasania—she’s not the well protected Maiden but an assassin with one mission—one target. Make the Primal of Death fall in love, become his weakness, and then…end him. If she fails, she dooms her kingdom to a slow demise at the hands of the Rot. Sera has always known what she is. Chosen. Consort. Assassin. Weapon. A specter never fully formed yet drenched in blood. A monster. Until him. Until the Primal of Death’s unexpected words and deeds chase away the darkness gathering inside her. And his seductive touch ignites a passion she’s never allowed herself to feel and cannot feel for him. But Sera has never had a choice. Either way, her life is forfeit—it always has been, as she has been forever touched by Life and Death.

Review: A Thrilling Escape into the World - **Early/Advance copy given for an honest review SPICE, SPICE, SPIRCE BABY. Just kidding. It is a slow burn in it’s own right but it doesn’t stop you from loving characters that you have had glimpses of.

Either way, her life is forfeit—it always has been, as she has been forever touched by Life and Death. A Shadow in the Ember – A masterpiece of it’s own right. Through the fandom of FBAA, we get glimpses of Sera and Nyktos, however this series truly delves into their story. Jennifer L Armentrout is absolutely a queen of her own right within the world. I have always been a fan of her writing and it absolutely astonishes me that she can always grip my attention with something new and exciting. This was another favorite in the series and the cover always blows me away for her books. I am definitely swooning over Nyktos and him being my book husband. Claimed and never can be annulled 😉 He isn’t just Nyktos, but rather Daddy Nyktos. He is everything you would want in the King of Gods and Primals. An intimidating character that falls at the feet of beautiful Sera for her wittiness and her sass towards him. Sera is a gorgeous and badass heroine and truly can make anyone speechless. She was raised from birth to make her husband fall in love and become his weakness to kill him. This was her only identity that she has known but she definitely does not allow herself to be stepped on by worse characters. I love that Jen’s characters are always people I want to grow up and be – no matter how old I am right this second. Seraphina is beautiful and definitely does not need anyone, man or Primal to make her feel anything more. Getting a glimpse into Poppy’s actual side of the family makes me realize how much I adored her all over again because family traits. You’ll want to laugh, cry and everything in between for this book. I felt so much anguish for the characters in the series. You get Primals, gods, badass heroines, drakens and all of the above in the series and I am not mad about it. I have heard some people get mad that it sounds similar to FBAA – Congrats, you are in the FBAA world just ahead of the time of where we met Poppy and Casserole. While this is a prequel, you get more questions answered in this book alone vs if she continued onto the fourth book of the series.
Review: Simply amazing! - Actual rating is 4.5 stars. I got an E-ARC copy of this amazing story in exchange for an honest review by JLA, so I'm about to get real with you! It should come as no surprise to all of you that once again, queen JLA is releasing another book series and she killed it! I mean it's hard for me to describe to you how good it was, because it's like I've said this at least 20 times with Armentrout's books, they are great. There is nothing less to it, every story she puts out, it's just amazing (to me anyway.) A Shadow in the Ember is no exception. You might be questioning my rating if literally paragraphs ago I said it's an amazing book, and it is, but there were a couple of things I felt a bit repetitive. Sera and Nyktos remind me of a couple Armentrout already introduced us to. They are amazing on their own way, but at the beginning it felt like rereading one of her other books. Though it quickly changed, it still made the first like 20 percent of the book drag on a little bit. But I think the reason why it was a little bit slower to begin with is because of what was to come. I cannot explain to you how good this story is without giving you major spoilers, but I will try. Seraphena is a Maiden. She was promised to the Primal of Death as his consort. She has been trained, but not in the way you might think. She was trained to bring the Primal of Death to his knees. She is expected to end him. To use love as a way to end him and end with a century's old debt. Sera is ready for this task, but somehow she fails miserably, why you ask? Because the Primal of Death has no need or want for a consort. So it's her fault (not really, but that is what she believes,) everyone and their grandmother blames her for it. So now she is trying to fix it somehow, she has no idea how, but she is looking for a solution. She is a trained assassin, she can kill you in less time that you'd have to blink, so maybe that will help... if it doesn't get her in trouble first (spoiler alert, it does). This story is all about Sera, about her journey to accept what she really is and what she is worth. There is a silver-eye-god that's gonna be there and they will have a fun time learning all about her and what she is capable of doing. There is so much that happens in the first installment of this series that if I tried to describe everything about the book, this post would be infinite, so I'll just summarize a little bit some of my favorite parts. There is death, that is something you should expect a lot of, but also some of it it's not in the way you might be thinking of. A silver-eyed god. Banter. Ash. Exciting lake scene. Ash. Power, her gift is just… *chef’s kiss* but at the same time, could be dangerous. Banter. Asher. Sexy banter. Nyktos, ruler of the Shadowlands. Amazing entrances. Nyktos. Blood. Lots and lots of blood. Lives (that will make sense eventually). That ending. Oh gosh, I mean I was kind of preparing myself for that, I kind of had a feeling, but it was still pretty epic. But most of all, NYKTOS. I mean, you guys just got to read this story, it’s amazing, I think you will really enjoy it and it will bring a lot of joy to your life.

When I did my first read through of FBAA and FAF I did read it in the intended order (which is listed below AND also how I still recommend this to be read by first time readers) however I’ve just missed Nyktos so damn much that I started my reread of the FAF series on its own. Also, when I read this series last year, it was prior to me writing reviews — I would only star rate. So this is my opportunity to not only relive my favorite Fantasy MMC but put my thoughts out there that I never did the first go round. 📖 𝗔 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 ✍🏼 𝗝𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗟.

Sera has spent her entire life preparing to be the Consort to the Primal of Death. But when he rejects her as his Consort her life once again changes. Sera has never had much choice in how she lived her, and the same can be said of Nyktos as well. They both ultimately just want their people safe from harm and the Rot. When they find each other things do become a bit complicated. Where feelings weren’t supposed to be involved, but now are— this causes emotional confusion on both parts. But it’s when trust has been broken that the real trial to their arrangement happens. I love the banter in this so much. Nyktos will forever be my favorite Fantasy MMC. This story will forever be my top favorite fantasy series
