![]() ![]() 3Īndrea Cremer is the amazing author of the Nightshade series, so when I heard she was writing a prequel series I couldn’t help but be interested. With action, adventure, magic, and tantalizing sensuality, this book is as fast-paced and breathtaking as the Nightshade novels. When the knights realize Eira, one of their leaders, is dabbling in dark magic, Ember and Barrow must choose whether to follow Eira into the nether realm or to pledge their lives to destroying her and her kind. She also finds herself falling in love with her mentor, the dashing, brooding, and powerful Barrow Hess. Once she arrives, Ember finds joy in wielding swords, learning magic, and fighting the encroaching darkness loose in the world. Sixteen-year-old Ember Morrow is promised to a group called Conatus after one of their healers saves her mother’s life. ![]() ![]() Chronicling the rise of the Keepers, this is the stunning prequel to Andrea Cremer’s internationally bestselling Nightshade trilogy! ![]()
