Embers

By Ronie Kendig

He’s coming for them. And the kingdom.

Haegan and Kaelyria Celahar are royal heirs of the Nine Kingdoms, but Haegan is physically crippled. What chance does he have against Poired Dyrth, the greatest enemy the kingdom has ever faced, who wields fire with a power none can match?

Their only hope is Kaelyria must transfer her fire-harnessing abilities to Haegan. When she does it comes with a terrible Haegan’s disability is healed, but only by being transferred to Kaelyria. This decision causes their father, King Zireli, to unleash his wrath against Haegan.

Haegan flees the kingdom alone with two impossible missions: Find a cure for Kaelyria and stop the coming war with the omnipotent Poired Dyrth.

My Thoughts: I loved the brother/sister relationship in Embers! It was so sweet to see Kaelyria and Haegan caring for each other. I also enjoyed the romance between Thiel and Haegen. Parts of the book skipped around to different POVs, which I found hard to follow, but I connected with all the main characters a lot. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one!
