Scepter of Ember and Bone
Pamela Zych
In a murdered kingdom of ash and dust, Princess Leah is a prisoner, both to her enemies and to the chaotic sun-fire raging within her. Her captor is Nicholas, an enemy prince whose shadow magic is the only thing that can contain her destructive power. Chained together in a desolate wasteland, they are the last remnants of a bitter war, bound by a connection that feels more like a curse than a key.
Their desperate flight for survival evolves into a quest for an impossible truth: their opposing magics are not what they seem, but two halves of a whole, a forgotten balance that could heal a dying world. Hunted by a relentless empire and haunted by ghosts of the past, their journey leads them to an ancient oracle and then to a hidden sanctuary of survivors—a last hope for Leah’s people, led by a warrior she thought was long dead.
But in the heart of this supposed refuge, Leah discovers that loyalty is a blade and the deepest betrayals are wrapped in the promise of salvation. When a heartbreaking sacrifice shatters everything she thought she knew, she must claim a terrifying new power that is neither sun nor shadow, but both. Now fugitives from all sides, hunted by those they sought to save, they are the world's only hope—and its most hated heretics. Can two enemies become the balance for a world that only understands war?
