Title: A Fire Endless
Series: Elements of Cadence #2
Author: Rebecca Ross
East and West. Humans and Spirits. Breccans and Tamerlaines. The Isle of Cadence has always held itself and its residents in a tenuous balance. But now Bane, the spirit of the North Wind, has pushed everyone and everything in his path off-kilter in a bid to claim dominion over all.
In the West, Adaira struggles to adjust to the more brutal, bitter ways of life among the Breccans. Striving to find her place in the clan, she swiftly realizes that it just might be the last role she desires to hold. And while magic blooms effortlessly for the Breccans in the west, the spirits continue to suffer beneath Bane’s harsh power, felt in every gust of wind.
In the East, Jack is adrift without Adaira until he sings to the ember-weak fire spirits, acquiring a dangerous mission he never expected. One that is destined to lead him westward. Likewise, Torin and Sidra are consumed by a new mystery as sickness spreads first amongst the crops, and then to the people of the Tamerlaine clan. While Sidra desperately searches for a cure, Torin dares to strike a bargain with the spirits—a precarious folly anytime, but especially now as the days grow darker.
With the island falling further out of balance, humans and spirits alike will need to join together to face Bane, and Jack’s gift with the harp will be called upon once more. Yet no one can challenge the North Wind without paying a terrible price, and the sacrifice required this time may be more than Jack, Adaira, Torin, and Sidra can bear to pay.
‘I am first yours, as you are first mine. Before all others.’
Oh I absolutely loved this book! I am obsessed with everything that is clan! I spent most of this book feeling toasty and warm inside!
We’re back with Torin and Sidra, now the Laird’s, since Adaira left to go to the West.
And we have Adaira (aka Cora!) and Jack. Adaira is with her new family and Jack was left in the East with his family, Mirin and Frae.
But the spirits are at it again! A blight has taken over and the 4 must race against time to find a cure.
This book was utterly magical, it made me think of old Scottish days with them dressed in their tartans in their castles, villages and clans!
The writing was absolutely beautiful, I fell in love with the spirits and also the moral of the story. I’m sure the moral was healing and what people have to go through to get there. And they all did. Together. So, so heartwarming. My joy cup runneth over!!!
Torin and Sidra,
Adaira and Jack.
Both each others endless fire.
