Publisher Description
Enjoy Ice and Sky, book three in Ena of Ilbrea, a new epic fantasy series by Young Adult author Megan O'Russell.
Ancient magic lurks in the shadows.
The Black Bloods’ home is more magnificent than Ena imagined, and more perilous than the life she fled.
The time has come for the Black Bloods to unite against the Guilds, but loyalties born in blood will be tested by fire. And not everyone she loves will survive the flames.
As murder and malice surround her, Ena must prove her innocence or risk a fate worse than death. Facing her enemies will test every friendship she has and risk the heart she has won.
There is no love strong enough to protect her from the path ahead…and the darkest night has yet to come.

Customer Reviews
Action packed and epic
This is Book 3 in the Ena of Ilbrea series by the fabulous Megan O’Russell and it was fantastic. I would even say it’s my favourite yet in this saga as sssoooo much happened! I honestly cannot wait to pick up the next.
I was gifted the audio version in return for a non biased review. Like the previous 2 books this was narrated by the amazing Alexandra Hunter. I gotta say her voice is brilliant and really reminds me of Scarlett Johansson.
You need to have read or listened to the previous 2 as it picks up exactly where book 2’s awesome cliffhanger ending left us.
The mountain has saved Ena, but she is left wandering around in its dark depths, desperately looking for an exit. While looking, she makes an amazing discovery, one that when she gets out, she feels she needs to keep close to her chest and those gut feelings are never wrong. Not long after her return words gets back that one of the other black bloods leaders has murdered, the blame is placed on Ena and her brother. They must attend a trial with all the Black Blood leaders in order to prove her innocence.
This is just a taste of what is going on in this book as I mentioned above so much happens and it can’t be missed. There is death, lies, betrayal, discrimination and so much more. Can’t recommend this one enough, especially when the descriptive writing can bring you to tears. Top that off the narrator does a wonderful job bringing it to life.
The character development with Ena from book 1 to now is immense. She has come a long way and will fight for what’s right and her people with bravery and determination. The writing and build up means you will struggle to put this one down.
Oh and “Putting on my Armour” is something I will say for a long time! I’m so using this in real life. This really resonates with me as it’s something we all do but I never had a name for it…..until now.
