Ember by Kristen Callihan is a prequel to Firelight. It focuses mostly on Miranda’s back story which is nice because Firelight was really Lord Archer’s back story.

In Ember we get a lot more detail about Martin, Miranda’s would have been husband and how that relationship was forged. There was also more, unfortunately, to learn about Miranda’s father.

Callihan also shows us what Archer was up to all those years away from Europe. It made my heart hurt for him.

I loved spending more time with Miranda but it made me sad too. Miranda blames herself for a lot of things and more than one person takes advantage of that. Ember made me excited to carry on with the series.
