They have won. With help from
Kiera, Fire Mage, the shapeshifting slaves of Fairbanks have broken their
chains, and then lifted her to govern their city. But Kiera and her
co-rulers struggle to integrate the former slaves and the remaining mages.
A worse threat outside Fairbanks waits to fracture the fragile peace.
Governor Vrishka, the Skani Water Mage of Barrow, has marched an army from
the North, and sends terms: Surrender Fairbanks and restore the Skani
mages to rule, or he will raze the city and kill all the shifters. He
gifts them ten turns of the sun to make their decision.
Halfway through the armistice a devastating blow steals all hope for
Fairbanks’ victory, and crushes Kiera’s heart. Can she summon the strength
to transcend her grief and find a way to defeat Vrishka? If so, what price
is she willing to pay? Five days—and a city—await her decision.
Welcome to the Alternate Alaska, where those born with the power to
control the elements rule as nobility over those who cannot. For now.
PRAISE for Blowing Embers
"Blowing
Embers is impossible to put down.
The deeply moving love story is woven into the fast-paced action
from the first page to the satisfying finale. The second in Lauri J Owen’s
Embers trilogy is set in the magic-driven Alternate Alaska
introduced in Fallen Embers. Kiera, an abundant and
resourceful heroine,
faces overwhelming threats to the fragile peace won at the end
of the first book. The reader follows her from the heights of rapturous
love
to the depths of total despair. The mages and their armies attack,
seeking to capture Kiera as a prize of war, to twist her magical gifts
to their own purposes, and to re-enslave the indigenous population
of shape shifters she has freed. The only hope of survival for Kiera
is to master her own magic and the art of leadership in war
at breakneck speed. Vivid characters, intricate world building
and sharp twists and turns of plot make Blowing Embers an absorbing and satisfying tale."
Lynne Murray author of Bride of the Living Dead
PRAISE for Blowing Embers
"Intense & passionate,
full of stunning twists & turns,
this riveting story of a magical
alternate Alaska will stay with you
long after you reach the last page."
Juniper Bell author of
Restraining the Receptionist
"In Fallen Embers,
Ms. Owen created a world that readers will never forget.
In Blowing Embers, Book Two in this extraordinary tale, the
stakes are
even higher. With nothing short of
her entire future on the line,
Kiera will either step up to her role
or the fate of her entire kingdom
will end before it has even begun.
"Owen writes like a pro.
Flawlessly moving her readers through high stakes emotions that leave them
glued
to every word, it is clear that Owen
is a writing tour de force that will
take the publishing industry by storm. Her characters are quite literally
unforgettable. I cried and laughed
over and over again. I really believe
that long after you have finished Blowing Embers, you will still be
thinking about it and anxiously
awaiting Book Three. It is
nothing short of extraordinary."
Rebecca Royce author of the Westervelt Wolves series
"Dare to step once more
into Lauri J Owen's alternate Alaska,
and become ensnared in the mire of
politics, dark magic and a sorrow that
will rip your heart in two. Take your stand against the overwhelming
forces on a whirlwind march that seems
to lead only to deeper despair and loss, to stinking pits where death is
the only escape and ask yourself,
as does Kiera: Do I have the strength
to carry on? For only strength and love can save her now, and those who
follow her for the sake of freedom
from slavery, even when it seems
all hope is lost."
