An Ember of Chaos by Amber Lynn Natusch

The Blood Daughter of Anemosia has returned.
Haunted by burning questions about her past, Ariel and the love of her life, Hemming, flee the safety of the Midlands under the cover of darkness with her favorite fae spy in tow. As they venture deep into the heart of Anemosia for answers, a shocking discovery quickly derails their mission.

Anemosia—and its people—are dying.

And their survival rests solely on Ariel’s shoulders.

With few options, Ariel reluctantly turns to Eldrien, the current ruler of the Minyades, for aid. But Hemming’s distrust of the desperate leader and his ulterior motives forces Ariel and her lover to devise a ruse to hide their passion—one capable of fooling even the most discerning eye. They’ll need that and more to succeed on their perilous journey through a strange land filled with betrayal, deceit, and treachery to break the curse on Anemosia.

Their lives, and the lives of those they wish to save, depend on it.
