Lady of Ashes

Lady of Darkness, Book 3

By: Melissa Roehrich

Narrated by: Laura Horowitz, Gregory Salinas

She will not be the same as when she left.

Fire and Shadows.

Scarlett Semiria knew the cost of her actions the day she sacrificed everything to keep her family, her Courts, and her twin flame safe. At least she thought she did. When she discovers the cost was more than she could have ever anticipated, she finds herself once again forced to choose between saving innocents or saving the ones she loves. But this choice might just leave her so broken, even the stars won’t be able to bring her back.

Light and Dark.

Crown Prince Callan is more than happy to leave the Fire Court behind, along with the woman who chose someone else. But when he arrives home, he finds there is no escaping the world of darkness he has been dragged into. To protect his people and his kingdom, he is forced to enter into a dangerous deception that quickly turns into a game of cleverness and strategy, and he finds that he has allies in the most unexpected places.

Beginnings and Endings.

Fae Queen Talwyn Semiria has been waiting for decades for her cousin to return home. She had expected to find a kindred spirit. What she got was a brash assassin who does things her own way and flouts all traditional decorum. But she refuses to let Scarlett stand between her and what is best for her Courts. She will play nice for now, but when it comes down to going after the true evil that resides across the sea and threatens their lands, she’ll take it all and sacrifice everything.

*Everything hangs in the balance.

*One wrong move, and the scales will tip.

*Only ashes will remain.

Chef’s kiss

Love love love. Roehrich writes some characters in a way that challenges your hope for them because you feel such rage directed at them. If a book makes me want to jump up and down, gasp, hide, etc…it’s a job well done. So far, this is my favorite one of the series! I’m scared for the last book!

the best book in the series

quite possibly the best book I've ever read??!! it has everything a romantasy should have

Please, get a male narrator whole actually has heard a strong woman speak.

He sounds as if he either has never heard it, or dislikes powerful women. His voice for the men is great, but I have a hard time not skipping his idea of the strong females in this series.

Story just gets better

Story and performances get better and better!! I Can’t wait to start the next book!!

That did not just happen!

Mild spoilers below!








































What?!?!?!?!?! That’s all I have to say about the ending!!

However, I don’t even know where to start with this review….. in the best way possible! So much happened, so many “missions”! I felt the plot was continuously moving and Melissa gave us just enough to keep us guessing! I can’t wait to see how this all plays out!

I’ve read The Legacy Series but I can’t remember anything! 😩 Just like every other book I’ve ever read! Once I close the book it’s gone! 😂 I know if I could remember more the secrets that are being revealed would hit much harder! I plan on doing a reread before the next book comes out so I can’t wait to piece it all together!

Oh and lastly…… SCARLETT!!! Shut up and listen and stop being so stubborn!!!! 😂 😡
