A war in crimson embers - Alex Marshall

FIVE HEROES. NO HOPE. A WAR AGAINST DEVILS.
Once a warrior
queen, now a pariah among her own people, Cold Zosia wakes in the ashes
of a burning city. Her vengeance has brought her to this - her heroic
reputation in tatters, her allies scattered far and wide and her world
on the cusp of ruin.

General Ji-Hyeon has vanished into the
legendary First Dark, leaving Sullen alone to carry out the
grim commands of a dead goddess. The barbarian Maroto is held captive by
a demonic army hell-bent on the extermination of the Crimson Empire,
and only his protg Purna believes he can be saved.

Zosia must
rally her comrades and old enemies one last time for a battle that will
prove the greatest of her many legends . . . if anyone lives to tell of
it.
