"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.
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."

Today is my stop on the tour for A Fire Endless by Rebecca Ross. Thank you so much Insta Book Tours & Harper Voyager UK for my copy and for having me on the tour!
I loved reading A River Enchanted last year and was so excited to see that Insta Book Tours were doing a tour for the sequel! I filled in the sign up form so quickly! This has to be one of the prettiest duologies I own - I can’t get over how beautiful both of the covers are!
One of my favourite things from the first book was the lyrical writing and I was so happy to see that continued in this book. I fell right back into this world and it was as though I hadn’t left! I really liked the little reminders from the first book that were sprinkled through the first part of the story! They really helped me find my feet so I could dive straight back in and I would love for more fantasy books to do this!
I loved that Jack & Adaira still had their amazing chemistry. The love that they have for each other is simply gorgeous and shines off the page! With one being in the East and one in the West, I felt like I was yearning for them to be together again just as much as they were!
The characters in this duology are so well developed and interesting to follow. I love how Rebecca Ross showcases such strong and powerful female characters too!
A Fire Endless is a beautiful end to such a lovely duology, I have enjoyed it so much!
