What would you do to save the ones you love? After a brutal Taliesin attack, Ashe and the Merlin wizards are on the run. Half the Council lies dead, as do many of the innocents they had sworn to defend. But in the midst of the chaos and destruction, there is still a ray of hope. The Staff of Merlin may be lost, but the historians are still out there. Now all that's left is to find them. But when lies and manipulations twist former allies against her, suddenly nowhere is safe. Ashe finds herself confronted with enemies more deadly than any she's faced. Including one who once saved her life. ~ Book Three of the Kindling Trilogy ~ #1 - Kindling #2 - Ignite #3 - Wildfire Previously published as Merlin's Children (The Children and the Blood #3)
