Publisher's Synopsis
They should have killed six-year-old Elan Montescue - the Riege's first memory witch in a thousand years - when they had the chance. But they missed, and ten years later Elan descended from the mountains to avenge the murders of her father and brother.
Now a new threat has emerged, and Elan is summoned for a reckoning by the mother who abandoned her as a child. Beholden to a bewitched rubystone, Elan races against time to perfect her powers while keeping at bay the predators who feed in her shadows.
But Elan can solve all her problems, and save the Riege, in a single stroke. All she need do is confront the kingdom's legendary foe in the ancient rock fortress of Kartuum. And then kill him before he can kill her.
The Embers of Elden is the second book in the brilliant new young adult magical realism trilogy, TR Dillon's The Chronicles of Cloth and Crystal.
