"S. D. Smith has done it again. The Black Star of Kingston is a book I'll be shouting about from the rooftops for a long time coming." -- Sarah Mackenzie, The Read-Aloud Revival


A century before Heather and Picket's adventures in The Green Ember, a
displaced community fights for hope on the ragged edge of survival.

My place beside you

My blood for yours

Till the Green Ember rises

Or the end of the world.


Whitson Mariner and Fleck Blackstar face old fears and new enemies, forging a legend that will echo through the ages.

Old wars haunt. New enemies threaten. An oath is born.

A hero rises.
