An Ember in the Ashes (An Ember in the Ashes, #1)

by Sabaa Tahir

The field of battle is my temple. The swordpoint is my priest. The dance of death is my prayer. The killing blow is my release.

“You are an ember in the ashes, Elias Veturius. You will spark and burn, ravage and destroy. You cannot change it. You cannot stop it.”
