Publisher's summary

A century before Heather and Picket's adventures in The Green Ember, a displaced community fights for hope on the ragged edge of survival.

My place beside you

My blood for yours

Till The Green Ember rises

Or the end of the world.

Whitson Mariner and Fleck Blackstar face old fears and new enemies, forging a legend that will echo through the ages.

Old wars haunt. New enemies threaten. An oath is born.

A hero rises.

Another excellent read

I highly enjoyed reading The Black Star of Kingston, and I thought it was an excellent start to the prequel series.

It was quite interesting to see legendary, famed historical figures from the series in action, and listening how they changed the course of Natalia’s history. I also found learning how the famous oath that Fleck Blackstar began fascinating, and every time I heard the words my heart soared with excitement.

Eric Fritzius’s performance was excellent, and I loved the accents he gave to different characters. I’m looking forward to listening to other books narrated by him.

Finally, I thought the storyline was wonderful. The book was engaging and I really felt like I was there, whether sailing with King Whitson or fighting Lords of Prey with Captain Fleck Blackstar.

Another excellent read, I 100% recommend this book.

Best author ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like S D smith! He is the best author in the world! I cannot wait until Ember Falls comes out! They should make a movie out of his books. However, I liked Joel Clarkson better than Eric Fritzuse (I might not have spelled his name right) I am a kid. So those adults can't say what my feeling are, I am telling you right now that my real feeling are I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!! I say the same thing for the Green Ember too!!!!!!!
