the Ember and Emerald

From New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter comes a portal romantasy where a young woman's road home leads back into a nightmare... and the arms of the man fated to destroy her. She escaped the monster realm. >Waking up in the past wasn't on Moriah Shaker's bingo card, but after surviving a brutal world of cannibals, rabdogs and lethal poppy fields, it happens anyway. Now, she has one chance to save her mother, undoing the death that started it all. >Armed with only a cryptic journal that whispers of a lost gemstone, Moriah is forced to bargain with a tricky water maiden who is equal parts redemption and ruin. Worse, she's transforming into something she no longer recognizes: The Oracle Great and Terrible. As secrets unravel and a forbidden attraction rekindles, Moriah must decide what she's willing to sacrifice to unravel time: the past she's desperate to save...or the man she isn't supposed to love.
