Avatar: The Last Airbender meets Gladiator in this epic duology conclusion about two elemental gladiators swept up in an ancient war between immortals and humansfrom Sara Raasch, the New York Times bestselling author of the Snow Like Ashes series, and Kristen Simmons, acclaimed author of Pacifica and The Deceivers. Perfect for fans of An Ember in the Ashes, And I Darken, and The Winners Curse. Two gods are dead. The Mother Goddess has returned. War is rising. Fleeing the ruins of Deimos, Ash and Madoc sail across the ocean toward their only possible allies: the water and plant gods. But when Anathrasa attacks on the way, Ash leaps to the defenseby using a power she didnt know she had. When Madoc made the fire and earth gods mortal, he inadvertently transferred their magic to Ash. Now, if Ash can get energeias from the other four gods, she will be powerful enough to end Anathrasa once and for all. But not all the gods want the Mother Goddess defeated. To stop her, Madoc will have to become the obedient son his mother always wanted, and Ash will have to take a merciless place among the gods. To defeat an immortal, Ash and Madoc must fight like godseven if it means sacrificing their humanity.

I am notoriously bad about starting a series, loving it, but never finishing it. I also have a compulsive need to be able to check items off lists. My goal for the year is get caught up on at least half of these series, hopefully more.

The tagged book has put me off to a good start!
(Also, it was a really great duology!)

This was a blast and a half of a sequel conclusion. Poor Ash and Madoc, the pain they encountered and the solace they find in each other. The drama and adventure and revelation twists had me nonstop reading. It just pulls you in. There‘s so much going on, but you can keep up easily. It‘s all about keeping safe your family and home. Have to point out the male non-contraceptive plant powder was fresh. The epilogue healed my heart of all that is good

The things that matter live inside us, and we protect them as we protect any other part of ourselves, with the power we‘ve been given.
