Faron Vincent was once the saint of San Irie. Now, she’s done the unthinkable: betrayed her country. Alone, disgraced, and kidnapped, Faron is forced to help Iya grow his bloody empire. With her soul bonded to a ruthless killer, Faron has become an enemy to her people… and she fears they might be right.
Elara Vincent—the new Empyrean—must undo the damage her sister has caused. San Irie has been brought back to the brink of war as Iya proclaims that no nation will be safe from his brutal invasion. But how can Elara save her sister, her best friend, her country, and her world when she’s already cracking under the pressure?
This heart-pounding conclusion to the Divine Traitors duology pushes these unforgettable heroines to their breaking point and beyond. Because when the lines between hero and villain are blurred, deadly sacrifices must be made.
"Both a brilliant sequel and an epic finale, This Ends in Embers is a gut punch of a novel that will stay with you long after its ending. Cole balances breathtakingly high stakes with poignant character moments to craft a narrative so passionate it will burn a path straight to your heart." —Chelsea Abdullah, award-winning author of The Stardust Thief

On So Let Them Burn
“This book was badass… if you liked Fourth Wing and want some sapphic (and demisexual!!) rep I’d highly recommend this one.”
–Spiri, @pluvioreads
“This book. . .truly the best fantasy novel I have ever read. Like, I’m not even joking, my life will no longer be the same after reading this masterpiece. I am beyond obsessed and my reading slump is cured.”
– Gabriel, Try Reading Podcast
“I cannot express how deeply I loved this book, but let me try! …Not only was the plot phenomenal but the way Cole writes made me pause a number of times just to appreciate the way things were written. From the first line where we meet Faron, I was sold. Lovers of YA fantasy should absolutely be picking this book up ASAP and I will be sitting here impatiently for the second book as I work to convince everyone I know to read this (did I mention the dragons? I should mention the dragons 🐉).”
