Novel & Cerita City Of Ember Series Books

When Ember finally arrived, she hurriedly parked her car in-between some trees, to keep it away from sight, looking around to make sure, no one was secretly watching, she ran towards the direction of the mansion Her knees felt weak below her, as she saw, the state of her family house. The condition of it was beyond anything she could have imagined. The once-beautiful estate, with its pretty gardens and elegant architecture, was now reduced to an abandoned site, filled with ashes. Ember’s heart ached and her body whimpered, as she took in the scene, the reality of her loss hitting her like a physical blow. ~~~Ember~~~ "Ember" a voice called out, breaking me from my daze. I turned around to se

CHAPTER NINE Ember took a slow, steady breath as she walked out with Isaac. Past memories surged without warning. Amalia City. Blood Moon Pack. She was back. She paused briefly at the foot of the stairs, her sunglasses hiding the flicker of emotion in her eyes. The memories of betrayal still lingered, sharp and vivid, as though everything had happened only yesterday. The pain. The humiliation. The suffering she had endured. Shaking her head, Ember forced a bright smile onto her lips.

she vowed. Together, they watched the last flickers die—not in darkness, but in the promise of dawn yet to come Epilogue The Ember That Remains The embers pulsed low in the ceremonial brazier, casting soft golden light across the stone walls of the newly built Ember Hall. Around them, shelves filled with reclaimed manuscripts and recovered sigils whispered of ancient wisdom not hoarded, but shared. A circle of chairs stood unoccupied for now, waiting not for secrecy, but for seekers.

KAIDA’S POV “A family thanksgiving out of nowhere?” Ember rolled her eyes as she brewed her morning coffee, reminiscing Maverick’s words from the previous day. “That’s random.” We had no classes, so she was relaxed in her disheveled hair, eye-glasses and tank top. “A family thanksgiving is not random, Ember.” I replied, my eyes glued to the dark romance book in my hands. I might be a medical student but my love for dark romance surpasses my love for medical related matters. Funny.

Leo asked. I thought about the fire that had broken through my binding, the ancient fury that had opened its eyes inside me and refused to be extinguished. I thought about Marcus, out there somewhere, still burning with whatever twisted rage drove him, and about how different that kind of fire was from what I wanted to build here. "Ember House," I said slowly, testing the words. "Because an ember isn't the destructive part of a fire. It's what's left after everything burns down — small, but still warm. Still alive. Still capable of starting something new if you're patient with it."

“…uh, something about… portals?” Ember folded her arms, with a frown, unimpressed. “No, Piper. We were talking about the book I started reading ‘Star-Crossed in Time’ by BlissfullRage. Does that ring any bells?” Piper smiled weakly. “Oh… right. That one.” Ember gave her a skeptical look. “You haven’t heard a single word, have you?” Piper sighed, guilty. “Okay, fine. Maybe I zoned out a little. But you can’t blame me. You know I’m not into books the way you are. They’re just…” She trailed off again, wrinkling her nose. “Boring.”

Ember’s POV The darkness enveloped her like luxurious velvet—soft, warm, and seemingly infinite. Ember floated aimlessly in a dreamscape, teetering on the precipice of consciousness and memory, her body still, her breath whispering through the stillness. She hadn’t spoken in days. Not truly. Words felt foreign now—too small for the weight she carried. The nurses were kind, but distant. Kael was protective, but unreadable. Only Isla had stayed. Only Isla had looked at her like she was still human.

“It looks so cold and soulless, don’t you think?” Ember didn’t flinch. “I obviously just arrived. I’ll decorate it in my own style in time,” she said. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have somewhere to be.” She moved to step past Serene, but Serene wasn’t finished yet. “It’s a good thing you’re young,” she mused, her voice thick with condescension. “You’re too inexperienced for him anyway.” Ember exhaled heavily but didn’t turn around. “I honestly don’t give a rat’s ass about what he likes,” she said flatly. Then, without missing a beat, she added, “And I sure as hell don’t give a fuck about you. You can choke on his dick for all I care.”

Emerson. Emerson’s head was smashed up against the window of her moms SUV as the air conditioner blasted her long white blonde hair around in her face. She caught herself wondering why it was so hot when the summers in this town were supposedly mild, or so said the weather when she looked it up before the move. Andover Oregon was already not what she thought it would be, and they were just pulling into the town. “I think we’re really going to like it here” Carol Parker sing songed cutting the silence of the car. They’d been driving all day from their previous home in Southern California.

Carla and Travis watched from the sidelines, hands clasped. “We did it,” Carla said, her voice steady. Travis nodded. “And we’re just getting started.” The scars remained, but they were no longer wounds. Dave, Carla, and the other victims were healing, not just surviving but thriving, their journeys a testament to resilience, love, and the unyielding power of talent reclaimed. ----- This marks the end of the Burning Embers: Scorching Tales of Desire. Compiled short story arcs now made their way to their ends.
