Synopsis:
The only one who can save Sera now is the one she spent her life planning to kill.
The truth about Sera’s plan is out, shattering the fragile trust forged between her and Nyktos. Surrounded by those distrustful of her, all Sera has is her duty. She will do anything to end Kolis, the false King of Gods, and his tyrannical rule of Iliseeum, thus stopping the threat he poses to the mortal realm.
Nyktos has a plan, though, and as they work together, the last thing they need is the undeniable, scorching passion that continues to ignite between them. Sera cannot afford to fall for the tortured Primal, not when a life no longer bound to a destiny she never wanted is more attainable than ever. But memories of their shared pleasure and unrivaled desire are a siren’s call impossible to resist.
And as Sera begins to realize that she wants to be more than a Consort in name only, the danger surrounding them intensifies. The attacks on the Shadowlands are increasing, and when Kolis summons them to Court, a whole new risk becomes apparent. The Primal power of Life is growing inside her, pushing her closer to the end of her Culling. And without Nyktos’s love—an emotion he’s incapable of feeling—she won’t survive her Ascension. That is if she even makes it to her Ascension and Kolis doesn’t get to her first. Because time is running out. For both her and the realms.
Review & thoughts:
A Light in the Flame is the second book in Flesh and Fire series and the sixth book in the whole Blood and Ash world. While I really love Poppy and Cas, I must admit it’s Sera and Nyktos who stole my heart with this book and now ALITF is definitely one of my all-time favorite books.
ALITF begins right where ASITE ended and if you thought the ending of the previous book was mind-blowing, just wait to see what happens here. We learn so many new things and it all finally starts to make sense, I am in awe of the author how she basically told us about Nyktos and Sera in Blood and Ash series, but still manages to make their story here so surprising and enthralling, I was shocked so many times and the plot twists left me speechless.
I loved Nyktos and Sera in ASITE and ALITF made me love them even more, they are my favorite kind of main characters and I enjoyed all their scenes together, the banter, the arguments, the swoon worthy moments, the spice and of course their beautiful romance and how they let themselves be vulnerable with each other. I start crying every time I think about them, their relationship is just perfect and I can’t wait to read more about them next year but at the same time I don’t want their story to end, I just love them so much.
This book is all about characters, their growth and relationships, but there is also so much action, some things we waited for since book one finally happen here and the plot is insane but in such a good way, I read the whole book in one sitting because I always had to know what happens next and that ending left me with my jaw on the floor!
I love ALITF so much and can’t wait to read the next book, A Fire in the Flesh, next year! Nyktos and Sera’s story is simply incredible and if you liked ASITE you’re going to love ALITF!
