One girl hears the voice of the fire of the gods in a world where the fire of the gods has long been cold. Lyra is then launched into a lost war of creation and destruction when the living flame that speaks her name is found. Hunted by the shadow cult of the Hollow Flame, she has to discover her mother's secret inheritance and learn the art that would not only heal the world, but also eat it. Following a strange, fire-eyed stranger, Lyra is in a world of ruined cities, where she must decide whether to use the fire or to be the fire.
The Last Ember is a hauntingly beautiful rebirth fantasy of courage, of the light we bear when all around us has become ash.
