The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
Monday was a normal school day. The weather was super cold. The high was only 45. Big Girl had pitching practice. Tuesday, my dad was sick so we didn't visit with them. We did do grocery pick up. And I actually had to run into the store before picking my groceries up for a few things that I missed on my order. Tuesday being Veteran's Day, I had planned to take the day off school, but we ended up doing school anyway, so we could switch and take Thursday off. Wednesday was another normal day. The weather was back into the 70s. Thursday, we took the day off school. We ended up having a playdate at a local park with some friends. We got home around lunch time. The big kids had martial arts that night. Friday was a normal day. This has been a really good school week, and I'm so thankful for that. Friday night we had dinner at my parent's house to celebrate November birthdays in our family. We got to meet my nephew's girlfriend. And then Saturday was a beautiful day. I did some reading and some house work. The kids entertained themselves most of the day. It was just a super great week.

Wren Embervale and Torj Elderbrock share a dark and bloody history. With Thezmarr on the brink of another war, and overwhelmed by the force of their feelings for one another, Torj discovers there is far more to their bond than mere passion. The legendary Warsword is determined to protect Wren at all costs, even if it means lying to her . . . Even if it means losing her forever.
Meanwhile, Wren is struggling to find her place in the world – both as an advanced student of alchemy at the ancient academy of Drevenor, and as one of the heirs to a lost kingdom. With the midrealms once again facing destruction, Wren must decide: loyalty or liberation? Legacy or love?
As new political players emerge, Wren discovers that her gift for alchemy is more powerful than she ever imagined – and that it could tear the kingdoms apart.
Will she and Torj find their way back to each other, or will the ancient magic that binds them become their undoing?

Goodreads description--Alchemist. Poisoner. Reluctant Queen.Wren Embervale knows her duty demands a crown, even if it means a strategic betrothal to the influential Lord Darian Devereux. Their arranged marriage promises the formidable army she needs to wrestle her kingdom from the clutches of the tyrannical usurper, Silas. Yet, Wren’s heart still belongs to Torj Elderbrock, her soul-bonded Warsword.
Torn between her pragmatic alliance and the visceral pull of her bond with Torj, Wren must navigate a treacherous landscape of courtly intrigue and looming war. As Silas’s shadow alchemy tightens its grip on the midrealms and a creeping poison steals Torj’s strength, Wren’s carefully constructed facade begins to crack.
Can she play the dutiful fiancée to secure her throne, while her body and soul yearns for the warrior who would lay down his life for her? Or will the tangled threads of political necessity leave her kingdom—and her heart—in ashes?
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Iron & Embers, Silver & Smoke is the blistering finale to the Ashes of Thezmarr series.
