Synopsis

Born of Blood and Ash is the fourth and concluding novel in the Flesh and Fire series, picking up with Seraphena Mierel reunited with Nyktos after enduring severe hardship at the hands of Kolis, the false King of the Gods. With Sera and Nyktos back on uncertain but shared footing, the two must face an escalating conflict among the primal gods, one that threatens to draw in the wider mortal world as Kolis and his allies continue to consolidate power. As the true Primal of Death works to gather his strength and allies for what is coming, Sera must decide how far she is willing to go, and what parts of her old assassin's instincts she is willing to use again, to stand beside him against Kolis's rule.

Where it sits

Notes

  • From the series record (Flesh and Fire): A prequel series set generations before the main arc, following Seraphena, a maiden destined to seduce and destroy the Primal of Death; still being published as of 2026, with further volumes expected to connect the two series' timelines.

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
