In Ashes Lie by Marie Brennan
Published by Orbit and released 25 June 2009
September, 1666 – The mortal civil war is over. But the war among the fae is still raging, and London is its battleground. There are forces that despise the Onyx Court, and will do anything to destroy it. But now a greater threat has come, one that could destroy everything. In the house of a sleeping baker, a spark leaps free of the oven – and ignites a blaze that will burn London to the ground. For three harrowing days, the mortals and fae of the city will fight to save their home. While the humans struggle to halt the conflagration that is devouring London street by street, the fae pit themselves against a less tangible foe: the spirit of the fire itself, powerful enough to annihilate everything in its path. Neither side can win on its own – but can they find a way to fight together?
This is probably a bit too early to be promoting In Ashes Lie, but I just found the cover on Amazon.co.uk (I really need to start shopping at one of the other wonderful online sellers like Book Depository or Borders or Waterstones) and I thought it was wonderful.
I’m a big fan of Marie Brennan’s Midnight Never Come and In Ashes Lie looks like it revisits that world if not those characters but who knows. I can’t wait to find out!
