About this listen

“I’ve made no secret of what I want… You. It’s always been you.”

Wren Embervale, alchemist-turned-assassin, finds solace in only one thing: seeking vengeance for the death of her friends. The wars of the past may be over, but her thirst for revenge is far from quenched.

For years, she has been content with her poisons and potions for company, but when an unknown form of alchemy is used to attack a king of the midrealms, Wren’s time in the shadows comes to an end.

She’s offered a place at the ancient alchemy academy of Drevenor to find a cure to the dark magic threatening the kingdoms. To win her spot, she must conquer the Gauntlet, a grueling series of deadly trials that could cost her sanity, or her life.

More is at play than sabotage from fellow competitors. Magic wielders are being targeted and Wren becomes tangled in a dangerous web of deception and bloodshed that puts the entire realm at risk.

But the biggest threat of all might come from the man assigned to protect her—Torj Elderbrock, the silver-haired war hero who has hated her since she assassinated his last charge.

Their shared history ignites a simmering tension that threatens to consume them both.

Peace is fragile, trust is scarce and enemies lurk around every corner… Will love heal all wounds—or will it be the most lethal poison of all?

Iron & Embers is the breathtaking first installment in the epic fantasy romance series, The Ashes of Thezmarr. With its lush world-building, sizzling chemistry, and heart-pounding action it’s perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, From Blood & Ash, and The Bridge Kingdom.

I loved this book so much. I was so drawn in by Torj and Wren in the Legends of Thezmarr series, so this extension of the story, with them taking the lead, was fantastic. Wren's arc in the book is so well done and compelling. I loved the dual POV. I was engaged top to bottom while reading and enjoyed the evolution of Torj and Wren as both individuals and as romantic foils.

I finished the series about Thea and Wilder a few days before this one came out, and the continuity of the story details between the series was fantastic. The evolution of the supporting cast of characters from Legends of Thezmarr to this trilogy was exciting and true to the original series.

The audiobook was well done, the voice actors excellent and their cadence was quite good. It's a great companion to the book, if you're listening and reading! The voice actors never lulled me or made me complacent in my listening.

An excellent continuation of a fantastic series!

The development in the writing style was one of the first things I noticed. I love being able to recognize the growth in an author's writing. This book was everything I look for in a romantasy. Characters you absolutely love, trials, amazing banter, and a crazy ending! This book check every single box and then some. The bodyguard trope was done so well in this book. The romance is like a medium burn but the TENSION! Wow! Just wow. Torj and Wren were amazing together. I truly enjoyed that this book is all alchemy and poisons. Amazing book!

A fantastic book!
