Ember by S.G. Prince

War has come to the mainlands. Venick is at its head, using a fake betrothal and his new Commander’s title to lead the resistance into battle. And while Venick is glad to have Ellina back on his side of the fight, he can’t help but worry about all the ways she’s changed…and the way things have changed between them. Ellina—haunted by her time in Evov and grappling with her newfound voicelessness—can’t seem to find her place among the resistance. Though her will is stronger than ever, she’ll need to relearn to trust herself if she has any hope of defeating her sister…and her own inner demons. As the fighting intensifies, Venick and Ellina enlist the help of some old friends, as well as a surprising new ally. But with the Dark Army bearing down on the mainlands and powerful black magic at play, it may already be too late.
