A Light in the Flame: Flesh and Fire, Book 2

by Jennifer L. Armentrout

About this book

Serafina Mierel’s mission was simple: kill the Primal of Death and save her people. But when her betrayal is exposed, the fragile alliance between her and the brooding Nyktos crumbles. Now, forced to rely on the very man she was destined to destroy, Sera must navigate a treacherous web of divine politics and ancient secrets. As the false King of Gods, Kolis, tightens his grip on the realms, the lines between duty and desire blur into an agonizing, scorching pull that threatens to consume them both.

This gripping urban fantasy pulls readers into a high-stakes world of gods and monsters. As the Primal power of Life surges within her, Sera faces a harrowing Culling, leaving her survival tied to an emotion Nyktos claims he cannot feel. With the threat of a forced Ascension looming and the Shadowlands under siege, she must decide if she is willing to risk everything for a heart that might be out of reach.

For fans of paranormal romance, this installment masterfully weaves together intense chemistry and supernatural intrigue. It is a pulse-pounding journey where the stakes are life and death, and where the most dangerous trap of all is falling in love with a god.

Armentrout ARC, since I became part of the team, and it was something that I dreamed of for years now. I had high expectations for this book, and it didn’t disappoint. This was one of my favorite JLA books. I still have no words to describe how much I loved it and how much it drove me crazy! It’s a rollercoaster of emotions. I was addicted and...

A Light in the Flame was a gripping and compelling follow up in the Flesh and Fire series. This book picks up immediately after the ending of A Shadow in the Ember, so I would highly recommend just reading that book first. I also suggest checking the content and trigger warnings before reading. I did have several theories on how the storyline would play out and I was pleasantly surprised by the direction of the story. There was more world building and new information regarding the prophecy and...

This is by far Jennifer's best work! I don't know how she does it, but every book of hers is better than the prior one. \"A light in the flame\" is magnificent and I was not prepared for this. The plot twists, the prophecy twists, this entire book felt like a twist within a twist. We have action in every chapter [yes, all kinds of actions :))], passion on every page, character development, world development, and SUPERNATURAL DEVELOPMENT!!! Niktos just went all Primal of Death. What you've seen...
