Quick recap

Sera now knows she carries the embers of life, which let her heal and even raise the dead, but are also killing her body. Only an Ascension made with a god's love could save her, and Nyktos says he can't love. She learns that Kolis, the false king of the gods, stole those embers from Nyktos's father and hunts the soul of Sotoria, hidden inside her. Kolis summons the couple to Dalos, Sera fights the goddess Veses, and they consult an oracle who offers no safe way out. When Attes's forces attack, Sera gives herself up to end the fighting. At the end, facing Kolis, who wants the embers, Sotoria's voice speaks through her and stops him.
