Avatar: The Last Airbender meets Gladiator

in this epic duology conclusion about two elemental gladiators swept up in an

ancient war between immortals and humans—from Sara Raasch, the New York

Times bestselling author of the Snow Like Ashes series, and Kristen

Simmons, acclaimed author of Pacifica and The Deceivers. Perfect

for fans of An Ember in the Ashes, And I Darken, and The

Winner’s Curse.

Two gods are dead. The Mother Goddess has returned. War is

rising.

Fleeing the ruins of Deimos, Ash and Madoc sail across the

ocean toward their only possible allies: the water and plant gods. But when

Anathrasa attacks on the way, Ash leaps to the defense—by using a power she

didn’t know she had.

When Madoc made the fire and earth gods mortal, he

inadvertently transferred their magic to Ash. Now, if Ash can get energeias

from the other four gods, she will be powerful enough to end Anathrasa once and

for all.

But not all the gods want the Mother Goddess defeated. To

stop her, Madoc will have to become the obedient son his mother always wanted,

and Ash will have to take a merciless place among the gods.

To defeat an immortal, Ash and Madoc must fight like

gods—even if it means sacrificing their humanity.
