***I have been made aware the paperback on Barnes and Noble is not showing up as the correct edition for some readers. I am working with customer support to get this sorted. B&N has been giving me grief for days, so I’ve removed that link for now. Please grab your physical copies from Amazon for the time being!
Alright. Ugh, I’m so nervous and so excited. I love you all. Thank you for reading. Okay, here are all the links you may need:
Quick Facts Sheet, Playlist, + Content Warnings
For Blood and Flame (FBAF) picks up 3 weeks after the end of book one, For Mist and Tar (FMAT). I’ve described FBAF as a tipping point in Wrathos, my multiverse of feminine rage, and when you read the Epilogues (yes, plural), you’ll understand why.
Below is also the official Alchemight Duology playlist! They’re the very same epic instrumentals I listened to while writing For Mist and Tar and For Blood and Flame.
This book is far, far darker than FMAT. I cannot stress this enough. While I love hearing about you all binging my books, I personally suggest taking your time with this one if you can. It deals with some very heavy themes and content.
⚠️Official Content Warning List⚠️
Last Updated 05/14/2024
Disclaimer: This list is continuously updated with any additional triggers or content warnings brought to my attention by readers. While sensitivity readers made a thorough pass, everyone is sensitive to varying triggers. This list is as complete as I could make it before release, but if you run into something you believe should have been included, then do not hesitate to send me an email at storiesbyjinapher@gmail.com.
Content warning lists in physical copies and ebooks may be summarised or truncated due to Amazon’s policies. If you are highly subject to triggers, I always advise my readers to check here instead.
I love you all, and seriously, take care of yourself. 💗 Vellene, Mogaell, Kadir, and Eledar will wait for you for when you’re ready.

For Blood and Flame Within Wrathos: Multiverse Connections
FBAF is the direct sequel to For Mist and Tar.
It also contains cameos and lore from my Fates of Mirror trilogy: Veil of Fate, Heir of Fate, and Wars of Fate.
In the Wrathos Recommended Reading Order, it is number 5 in the Era of Awakening.
While the Alchemight Duology can be read by itself, readers will miss out on some epic reveals toward the end of the book if they haven’t read my Fates of Mirror trilogy. For the best reading experience, I personally suggest giving Fates a read!
