Her pale skin and weird diet make her a target at school. If only they knew the truth about her feeding habits… Seventeen-year-old Alena Scott is tired of pretending to be something she’s not. As an outlawed vampire-witch hybrid, she’s forced to abide by the oppressive secrecy imposed by her Vampire Chancellor mother. But she’ll have to ignore the rules when she comes face-to-face with a handsome, full-grown version of her childhood imaginary friend. Shocked that he recognizes her as his own pretend play pal, the two embark on a quest to solve the mystery of their fantasized companionship. And as they unravel their entwined destinies, Alena realizes she holds the key to a curse which could free them all—or condemn witchkind to eternal suffering.

• Alena - (pronounced Uh-LEE-nuh) - Alena tells the story of how she, a seventeen year-old vampire-witch hybrid, must hide her identity from everyone, human, witch, and vampire alike because creatures like her are forbidden by vampire and witch laws. She is desperate to figure out what her mother is looking for and in the process meets Hunter, an imaginary friend from age four. Hunter and she embark on a mission to discover how they knew they interacted as children. They find they are the key to releasing a curse on witch souls damning them to purgatory.
• Hunter - Seventeen year-old Hunter has no clue he is a witch, but there is no doubt in his mind that he knew Alena as a child. Once she reveals that witches do exist and helps him awaken his powers, he commits to figuring out what his purpose is and why they were able to interact as preschoolers.
• Theron - Seventeen year-old vampire-witch hybrid, Theron, may be the only other being like Alena. He is wild and reckless and Alena is drawn to his energy. But there is also something dark and sinister about him. Questions arise as Alena learns Theron is Hunter’s half-brother.
• Thanatos - A centuries old witch and High Priest of the Witch Lines, he is father to Hunter and Theron.
• Anne - Alena’s vampire mother and Vampire Chancellor, she will do everything in her power to protect her daughter.

Tricia Copeland is a new author to me. Kingdom of Embers is the first book in the Kingdom Journals, a YA Urban Fantasy Series. The story has witches, and vampires. The main character, Alena, is half witch, and half vampire. She is a strong, and beautiful character. The cast of supporting characters is impressive, and intriguing. The world building is complex, and original. Amy Deuchler does a great job with the narration. She has a beautiful voice, and the characters are easy to distinguish. The story continues in book 2, Kingdom of Darkness. I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Tricia Copeland. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
