The Last Ember of Calder Hall

About this book

In the soot-choked and stratified realm of Flamerest, where magical hearth fires dictate a family's power and social standing, seventeen-year-old Elowen Calder has been cast into the abyss. Stripped of her noble titles and banished to the labor districts after her family's flame was suspiciously extinguished, Elowen survives by forging illegal echo-embers while plotting her family's restoration. But when a clandestine invitation pulls her back into the gaslit, glittering halls of high society, Elowen uncovers a terrifying conspiracy behind her father's disgrace. Forced to navigate treacherous court intrigues, forbidden alliances, and the harsh realities of the impoverished lower classes, Elowen discovers that the very foundation of her world's magic is built upon unimaginable atrocities. As a rebellion brews in the coal-veins and her younger brother's life is threatened by a rival duke, Elowen must decide whether to reclaim her family's blood-soaked legacy or destroy the very system that created it.
