Silver & Smoke

By: Helen Scheuerer

Narrated by: Matt Haynes, Emilia Bauer

Alchemist. Poisoner. Reluctant Queen.

Wren Embervale knows her duty demands a crown, even if it means a strategic betrothal to the influential Lord Darian Devereux. Their arranged marriage promises the formidable army she needs to wrestle her kingdom from the clutches of the tyrannical usurper, Silas. Yet, Wren’s heart still belongs to Torj Elderbrock, her soul-bonded Warsword.

Torn between her pragmatic alliance and the visceral pull of her bond with Torj, Wren must navigate a treacherous landscape of courtly intrigue and looming war. As Silas’s shadow alchemy tightens its grip on the midrealms and a creeping poison steals Torj’s strength, Wren’s carefully constructed facade begins to crack. Can she play the dutiful fiancée to secure her throne, while her body and soul yearns for the warrior who would lay down his life for her? Or will the tangled threads of political necessity leave her kingdom—and her heart—in ashes?

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Iron & Embers, Silver & Smoke is the blistering finale to the Ashes of Thezmarr series.

So good

This book just came to life for me! The story is amazing and I just adore the characters. I’m going to have to listen to it again!

Love this universe

I really enjoyed both this and the original series. I’m sad it’s over but it was a nice ending.

4 stars

Silver & Smoke
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The third and final book in The Ashes of Thezmarr was solid and satisfying. Overall, this series landed at a consistent 4 stars for me, though the first book remains my favorite.
Kipp was hands-down my favorite character, with Wren close behind. I especially loved the poisoner aspect—it added a sharp, dangerous edge that kept things interesting.
A strong conclusion to a series I enjoyed, even if book one still holds the crown for me.

Finally a HEA for everyone

This was a beautiful ending for everyone from both Thezmarr series ❤️ Story was a bit slow for the first half, but worth it by the end. The dual narration audiobook was good.

Bravo!

If I could I'd give this entire series a standing ovation, I found it even more enjoyable than the Legends of Thezmar. Wren has definitely earned her place among my favorite FMC's.
