A Fire Endless: A Novel

Written by Rebecca Ross

Narrated by Ruth Urquhart

In the stunning conclusion to the Elements of Cadence duology, A Fire Endless finds the delicate balance between the human and faerie realm threatened by Bane, the spirit of the North Wind, whose defeat can only come through fire, song, and heart-rending sacrifice.

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.

Reviews for A Fire Endless

[Tori Cotita · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

An incredible continuation of a first rate story. Magical. ❤️

[Kelly Hancock · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was a beautifully written story. The author writes in such vivid, poetic detail that it was easy to become immersed. The descriptions behind the scenes, characters, and emotions paint an image so clearly in the mind that you almost feel like you are witnessing the story firsthand. The reader's voice and accent are delightful, and she gives the characters each their own dramatic personality. I could listen to her read for hours. The twists in the plot were surprising, and I love how cleverly the author tied years of history and backstory so neatly together at the end.

Both books in this duo have moved me to tears. I’m sad it’s over ?. I’ve fallen in love with every character. This is a story I’ll read again and again. The narrator was wonderful and her performance made the characters even more real than I could have on my own.

[Courtney Rippe · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

So, I read the first book and really liked it. But this one, I loved it! The main characters are so good. The pacing was just right and ending unfolded in layers. Fantastic epic journey!

That was a good tale. The writing is so descriptive that at times I could imagine the smell of the peat burning in the hearth.

When I finished Book One, A River Enchanted, I was so annoyed. The book was slow reading. And I couldn’t believe the ending. I thought, What! All that time reading and that’s the ending?

But I enjoyed Book One enough to discover Book Two. And now it all makes sense.
