Avatar: The Last Airbender meets Gladiator
in this epic duology conclusion about two elemental gladiators swept up in an
ancient war between immortals and humans—from Sara Raasch, the New York
Times bestselling author of the Snow Like Ashes series, and Kristen
Simmons, acclaimed author of Pacifica and The Deceivers. Perfect
for fans of An Ember in the Ashes, And I Darken, and The
Winner’s Curse.
Two gods are dead. The Mother Goddess has returned. War is
rising.
Fleeing the ruins of Deimos, Ash and Madoc sail across the
ocean toward their only possible allies: the water and plant gods. But when
Anathrasa attacks on the way, Ash leaps to the defense—by using a power she
didn’t know she had.
When Madoc made the fire and earth gods mortal, he
inadvertently transferred their magic to Ash. Now, if Ash can get energeias
from the other four gods, she will be powerful enough to end Anathrasa once and
for all.
But not all the gods want the Mother Goddess defeated. To
stop her, Madoc will have to become the obedient son his mother always wanted,
and Ash will have to take a merciless place among the gods.
To defeat an immortal, Ash and Madoc must fight like
gods—even if it means sacrificing their humanity.
Sara Raasch has known she was destined for bookish things since the age of five, when her friends had a lemonade stand and she tagged along to sell her hand-drawn picture books too. Not much has changed since then: her friends still cock concerned eyebrows when she attempts to draw things, and her enthusiasm for the written word still drives her to extreme measures. She is the New York Times bestselling author of the Snow Like Ashes series, These Rebel Waves, and These Divided Shores.
