This Ends In Embers

Description

This Ends in Embers is the concluding novel in Kamilah Cole’s Divine Traitors duology, following the events of So Let Them Burn. The story centers on sisters Faron and Elara Vincent, who find themselves on opposing sides of a looming war. Faron, once celebrated as the saint of San Irie, has betrayed her country and is now compelled to assist the expansion of Iya’s ruthless empire. Her soul is bonded to a merciless killer, leading her to question her own allegiance. Meanwhile, Elara, the new Empyrean, struggles to repair the damage inflicted by her sister’s actions as their nation teeters on the brink of conflict. Amid escalating tensions, both sisters are pushed to their limits, confronting blurred lines between heroism and villainy, and facing the necessity of profound sacrifices.

The novel has been praised for its intense narrative and deep character development. Chelsea Abdullah, award-winning author of The Stardust Thief, describes it as “a gut punch of a novel that will stay with you long after its ending,” highlighting Kamilah Cole’s ability to balance high stakes with poignant character moments.
