BOOK FOUR IN THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES

The beloved and bestselling fantasy series that “glows, burns, and smolders.” (Huffington Post).

Prepare for the jaw-dropping finale of Sabaa Tahir's beloved New York Times bestselling An Ember in the Ashes fantasy series, and discover: Who will survive the storm?

Picking up just a few months after A Reaper at the Gates left off...

The long-imprisoned jinn are on the attack, wreaking bloody havoc in villages and cities alike. But for the Nightbringer, vengeance on his human foes is just the beginning.

By his side, Commandant Keris Veturia declares herself Empress, and calls for the heads of any and all who defy her rule. At the top of the list? The Blood Shrike and her remaining family.

Laia of Serra, now allied with the Blood Shrike, struggles to recover from the loss of the two people most important to her. Determined to stop the approaching apocalypse, she throws herself into the destruction of the Nightbringer. In the process, she awakens an ancient power that could lead her to victory—or to an unimaginable doom.

And deep in the Waiting Place, the Soul Catcher seeks only to forget the life—and love—he left behind. Yet doing so means ignoring the trail of murder left by the Nightbringer and his jinn. To uphold his oath and protect the human world from the supernatural, the Soul Catcher must look beyond the borders of his own land. He must take on a mission that could save—or destroy—all that he knows.

happy

what a wonderful way to end the magnificent series. if you haven't read the first three... please do.

B- ok story, great narration

The story in book 4 seemed to get bogged down while the main characters saw almost everyone around them killed one after the other followed by their constantly repeating memories of everyone else they had seen killed. Reminded me of book 1 which seemed like a poorly disguised book on S&M.
The author missed out on developing the story line while she focused on death after death to the exclusion of plot, foreshadow and character development.
I'd probably listen to the store again once I've had time to forget and there are no other better written series to devour.

Actors are PERFECT!!

this is worth it even just for the breathtaking performence of the voice actors <3
I don't get why some people didn't like the ending, it has just the right amount of drama and serenity for this story, loved it!

mesmerizing

listening to this rich tale of human love and suffering and triumph is a gift

This is how it’s done.

Mesmerizing, heartbreaking, hopeful, terrible, beautiful. What isn’t this series? Such a spectacular and fitting finale to one of the best, most devastating series I’ve ever read.
