Summary

General Ji-Hyeon has vanished into the legendary First Dark, leaving her lover Sullen alone to carry out the grim commands of a dead goddess. The barbarian Maroto is held captive by a demonic army hell-bent on the extermination of the Crimson Empire, and only his protégé Purna believes he can be saved.

Zosia must rally her comrades and old enemies one last time for what will prove the greatest battle of her many legends...if anyone lives to tell it.

Five heroes. No hope. A war against devils.

Critic reviews

"A rollicking, obscene, subversive, and zany epic fantasy ride." (B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog)

Just Fantastic

Damn, what a cracking conclusion to a fabulously written series. A War in Crimson Embers continued to leave me in stitches with Alex Marshalls comedic characters, Maroto, Hoartrap and Diggleby are just some that will leave you laughing out loud. This series has a fantastic array of characters, Devils, big ass monsters and the worldbuilding, setting and plot will keep you hooked from start to finish. The first gate has been blown wide open after a ritual by the burnished chain bringing hell know as Jex Toth back into existence. Bug ridden priests and priestesses and their armies of monsters are coming to end the lives of those who dwell in the Star. Will our Cobalt heroes and the Villians save their world from the nightmare they find them selves in. Check it out, you will absolutely love it. A fantastic ride all the way. Excellent read! Can't wait for more from Marshall. Hope the epilogue is the start of a new series. The narrator Angele Masters has given an amazing preformence through out the whole series. I very highly recommend to all you fantasy lovers...😁💥🔥🖤

Promise Unfulfilled

Books one and two in this series were laugh out loud fun to listen to. I had to rewind several times just to hear parts I missed, as I was laughing so much at the antics of some of the wonderful characters. Unfortunately in the third book, things went from bad to stupid. Angele Masters did a brilliant job of narrating this series, and in the first two books it was her delivery that made it such a joy to listen. But even the best narrator can't do much with poor material. A very disappointing end to what had promised to be a fantastic series
