One winter night, fire tore through the Taylor farmhouse and shattered a future that had only just begun. Ryan Taylor had a wife he adored, a child on the way, and a life unfolding with promise—until the flames consumed it all.
But some stories don’t end where the world thinks they do.
In the quiet aftermath, Ryan drifts through the smoke-filled corridors of memory, tethered to a house that refuses to release its hold. Shadows shift, rooms breathe, and the past replays in fragments—some tender, some unbearable, all demanding to be faced. Yet beneath the grief lies something far more sinister, a force twisting memory and bending truth until nothing is certain.
Through Ryan’s eyes, Limeville’s haunting deepens, revealing not only sorrow and loss, but secrets darker than fire itself. What lingers is not just love, but the threat of something still waiting in the ash.
Embers Part II: Traces of Limeville is the second novel in Rowan Kade’s atmospheric Embers series, peeling back the fire from the other side. Dark, intimate, and unsettling, it reminds us that every fire leaves a trace—and not all traces should be followed.
