City Of Ember Kindle Novels & Stories

THE EMBER TRIAL The air inside the Emberstone mines shimmered with heat and history. Beneath the jagged teeth of Mount Caldrith, the sacred tunnels twisted deep into the earth, pulsing with residual Alpha flame. Red veins of dormant Emberstone pulsed faintly beneath the rock, glowing like the slowed heartbeat of something ancient and barely breathing.

The Void Hunters had arrived in force, their presence turning the sky into a writhing mass of anti-light that hurt to look upon directly. The assault began, striking first at the Realm of Embers, a world where phoenix-folk had dwelt for millennia, their cities carved from crystallized flame and their culture built around eternal renewal. I watched from Hollowshade's mirror-pool, the scrying surface rippling with images of unspeakable devastation as flames that had burned for ten thousand years were swallowed whole in moments, leaving only a bleak, echoing silence that stretched across continents.

"Mad? Ember you are choosing love. Following your heart. That is exactly what Grandma would have wanted." She sobbed into my shoulder. "I miss her so much. I wish she were here to see this." "She is here. Watching over us. And she is so proud of you." We held each other while she cried. My mind was already racing through logistics. A human hybrid pregnancy was unprecedented. The medical complications alone could be severe. But we would handle it. Together. The way Mom taught us. "Tell me about Marcus," I said. "How did you meet?" Ember pulled back and wiped her eyes. "He works at the library in town. I went in looking for research materials and we started talking."

“I figured as much.” I turned away, motioning for him to follow. “Come on, then. Let’s see how well you play with cursed people.” And for the first time in a long while, I felt like we might have a shot at surviving this. If only because we’d just added one more weapon to the war. I found Ember where I always did lately, leaning against the cracked edge of the fountain, bathed in firelight. The light didn’t come from her. It came from the horizon. Another blaze in the lower district. The fourth one in as many nights.

"She said a lady appeared to her in her dream and told her to ask me about her origin. I was stunned, and seeing the spirits are with her, I couldn't withhold such information. I told her she's not from the north, and that she's from a strange kingdom. The moment you had your bath and left to patrol the east of Strongfall with your men, she left for the library. I can very well tell you with all certainty that she's gone to read about her past. And I fear, and I am sure that she would discover, or see something about herself there in the book." "You think it's that serious?" "I've never heard of people visited by spirits. For all I know, that lady in her dream could still be alive, and she w

Saavi had put her full body weight on Dhruv who held her like he was protecting her. "Dhruv," Saavi called him running her index finger on his bicep. "Yes, love." "Why do you call me Ember To My Flame?" she asked remembering when she was about to commit suicide Dhruv stopped her and confessed Saavi was The Ember to his Flame. "Interesting Question, love." Dhruv smiled before asking, "Do you know what Ember is?" Saavi raised her head from his chest and nodded vigorously. She answered her husband as she said, "Yes, a piece of wood or coal that is not burning, but is still red and hot after a fire has died."

“A ghost is trapped. I come and go as I please.” “Spirits get offended when ye call them a ghost,” Kira offered. “You,” Edwin said softly. When Kira raised a brow in question he added, “Ye, thee and thy have been replaced with you and your… You.” “Ah,” she said with a sweet smile that made his blood rush. “You.” “I am being summoned,” Ebenezer said with an excited tone. “I must go. I shall be back in due time. Ye are safe for now.”

I ran towards it and stared as it glow like an ember. "This must be the ember of love!" I exclaimed. "You're right Princess," an unfamiliar voice suddenly spoke. "Who are you?" "I am the ember of love waiting to be flourished by you. When you learn how to turn that ember into a blazing flame of affection then you could easily defeat Velion," she told me. "But how?" I really have no idea on how to use that ember of love. "It's all up to you. Remember to listen to your heart and everything will go according to how destiny planned it to be." Those were the last words I heard from her before I opened my eyes to see the worried faces of my friends and aunt Athena.

He waved her off. Still the woman lingered. She stood her ground, proud in her stance. “I’m sure your pathetic ranks couldn’t stand against my clan. None of you could.” Donte was in her face. He could feel the heat of her trembling breaths. “Chimeras that flaunt their abilities are no more abominations than the ones that shun immortals with greater power.” The ruby red of his eyes flickered with such darkness. “We prefer to avoid war. We welcome outcasts with open arms, and give sanctuary to the injured. You are neither, nor are you fit enough to be our mate. Leave." His nostrils flared as he menaced over her.
