Secrets revealed... trust broken... a realm on the brink of war...

Embyr never imagined in all her years on the run that the secrets of her past would be so explosive - and the consequences so dire. Her memories have returned, but she's even more lost than she was before.

Struggling with her new-found powers, Embyr must warn the Queen of the impending attack on Aureon, and try to find answers to this prophecy she finds herself ensnared in. There's also the matter of finding her sister. She's never needed an ally more than now, but Daemon's secret shattered her trust in him, and she's not sure it can ever be repaired. But with more than one enemy on their heels, she may not have a choice.

Even if she can forgive him, they know they can never be together. And staying away from Daemon is something she's never been good at, now more than ever. Because as her power grows, so does their dark connection.

And with a fate as twisted as theirs, the world may very well burn.

A FATE OF FLAME AND ONYX is the second book in the Ash and Midnight series by the author of the bestselling HOUSE OF GILDED NIGHTMARES and CITY OF NIGHT series. Set in the connected Crowns of Aureon series, it's a spicy enemies-to-lovers/forbidden love fantasy romance.
