Silver & Smoke

De: Helen Scheuerer

Narrado por: Matt Haynes, Emilia Bauer

Alchemist. Poisoner. Reluctant Queen.

Wren Embervale knows her duty demands a crown, even if it means a strategic betrothal to the influential Lord Darian Devereux. Their arranged marriage promises the formidable army she needs to wrestle her kingdom from the clutches of the tyrannical usurper, Silas. Yet, Wren’s heart still belongs to Torj Elderbrock, her soul-bonded Warsword.

Torn between her pragmatic alliance and the visceral pull of her bond with Torj, Wren must navigate a treacherous landscape of courtly intrigue and looming war. As Silas’s shadow alchemy tightens its grip on the midrealms and a creeping poison steals Torj’s strength, Wren’s carefully constructed facade begins to crack. Can she play the dutiful fiancée to secure her throne, while her body and soul yearns for the warrior who would lay down his life for her? Or will the tangled threads of political necessity leave her kingdom—and her heart—in ashes?

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Iron & Embers, Silver & Smoke is the blistering finale to the Ashes of Thezmarr series.

I loved Wrens moment of using the Bear slayers legendary war hammer!!!

I enjoyed the compelling story between the Bear slayer and his old best friend uniting again

Love this universe

I really enjoyed both this and the original series. I’m sad it’s over but it was a nice ending.

Finally a HEA for everyone

This was a beautiful ending for everyone from both Thezmarr series ❤️ Story was a bit slow for the first half, but worth it by the end. The dual narration audiobook was good.

Battle & love. Magic and blood.

This book took all the way to the very end for resolution. I was a few chapters from the end thinking there was no way out and biting my nails. I just knew even though this was supposed to be the final book in Wren’s trilogy, that there had to be another coming!And yet…Scheuere pulled it off! Magnificently. What an awesome ending to Wren and Torj’s story. This book is full of battles and love. Magic and blood. With a few surprises sprinkled throughout. Old faces and new make appearances. And. While Wren and Torj’s story comes to completion, there are characters left whose stories can be told. And a missing person from the side of evil who could come back to wreak havoc. Is there another warsword’s HEA coming? I hope so! I’m still torn as to my book boyfriend from the world of Thezmarr…Vernich or Kipp…Grumpy or sunshine! I’d love to see both in an HEA.

And the narrators? Ooooo when they both do Torj….when Matt Haynes narrates Torj or Vernich? I melt!!! Both Haynes and Bauer do such a good job.

Tied up nicely with a few surprises

So nice to have these released in quick succession. I really enjoyed having all the old characters from the first series reunited again. I’d love to hear more of Kip and Cal’s story in a spinoff.

A satisfying end to the thezmarr saga

Just a lovely ending to this series! I will miss Torj and Wren. I just wish we had more books about Kip!

What a ride!

Helen Scheuerer’s writing just gets better with each & every book. This was a gorgeous, fitting end to the Thezmarr era, looping beloved characters back in to the finale in perfect harmony. I laughed hard, cried a bit (not usual for me, so that’s saying much), had my heart racing in panic a few times, and adored the happy endings for so many, including Thea & Wilder, and especially Torj & Wren. Gosh, it’s the ending we all needed for Torj & Wren!!!! I’ve listened to these stories so many times — the narrators are excellent storytellers— but I am finding that I also want these books on my shelf. If you’re looking for fantastic world building, excellent romantic spice, and lovable believable characters, start your Thezmarr journey now! (T+W)3 💕🥹

A good way to say goodbye to Thezmarr

This was another wonderful book by the Amazing Helen Scheuerer. It was a perfect way to end our Thezmarr journey and say goodbye to so many favorites.

💫💙Loved it💙 💫

Such an awesome ending to both Legends & Ashes of Thezmarr. They tied together nicely.. And just as good if not better than the 1st and 2nd books in this series. I love that there’s spice but not so much that it takes away from the story. It’s a healthy mixture of both. Just a great book/series overall. Especially grateful theirs a HEA!
I bought this as soon as it was available to purchase. Even if I had to wait months for the release. I can’t wait to see what new series Helen Scheuerer has in store for us! 💖
