Everything Conatus stands for is at risk. Hoping to gather enough resistance to save their order, Ember and Barrow attempt a desperate escape. But fate offers little mercy. When their mission is exposed, the couple face relentless pursuit by the supernatural horrors that act on the commands of Eira’s ally: the mysterious Bosque Mar. A shocking revelation forces Ember out of hiding, sending her back into the heart of dark magic at Tearmunn keep, where she must convince her old friend Alistair of her love or face dire consequences. Ember’s deception offers the only chance for the resistance to succeed, but what she discovers in the shadows beneath the keep will shatter her world and bring about the Witches’ War. Richly sensual and full of magic, action and danger, Andrea Cremer's fifth book set in the Nightshade world is an edge-of-your-seat page turner.

Rift & Rise are to The Nightshade series what The Infernal Devices are to The Mortal Instruments. They are fantastically written, full of intricate details and a fiercely passionate romance. Fans of historical fantasy, like TID or Grave Mercy, will devour these books. It is not at all necessary to h...
Forced myself through this one which is a huge surprise considering how much I really enjoyed the first book. Perhaps it's because I've never read the Nightshade series, or have any plans to, but I felt that the 'project' that Alistair was working on could've been better developed or simply left out...
