Color of Fire

Strange Eden #3

by Gina Giordano

“And I thought you were my savior in my darkest hour. How very wrong I was.”

1794: Devastated by the violent disappearance of her husband, Charles Sharpe, Eliza struggles to save Pleasant Hall from the hands of crooked creditors and the governor’s greed. In the aftermath of the attack, her husband’s enemies have branded him a traitor and declare him dead.

But an unlikely source carries knowledge that he still lives, and he alone knows who has taken Charles. Eliza’s desperation drives her to form an alliance with the king of the underworld Captain Hiram Bruin, a notorious man who is more pirate than privateer.

Eliza’s death has been ordered by Lord Dunmore, and Bruin himself tasked with the deed. But Hiram Bruin has never been a man to follow orders. He offers her passage on his ship, the Fortuyne, and his personal protection. In her hour of distress, Eliza accepts—for she has no other choice.

Bruin takes Eliza on a dangerous voyage from the island of New Providence to the wild and untamed Saba, and finally to England, where her journey started three years ago.

Eliza endures her new sinister reality, one where death creeps ever closer, and quickly learns that the only monsters at sea are men. Ensnared by the salt air and damning secrets, one thing is startlingly Bruin wants to take everything she holds dear. For the roots of revenge lie deep…

Will Eliza be able to save the life of her husband before it’s too late? What price is she willing to pay for his freedom? And can she escape this unimaginable nightmare, fueled by a man of unspeakable cruelty?

Color of Fire is the dark, thrilling conclusion to Gina Giordano’s sweeping historical epic, the STRANGE EDEN Trilogy.

There really was no other way for this book to end. This whole series is magical. In this instalment we join Eliza as she searches for Charles. Everyone else beleives he is dead but she knows he is alive.
This series had me from page 1 of book 1. I am really sad to see these characters go.
This is truly a stunning conclusion to an amazing series.

[Caroline · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! What an intense conclusion to this trilogy…..and a wild, fun ride. Color of Fire picks up where Island King left off and it transported me to a pirate ship complete with unruly pirates and a despicable, evil captain. Intense and immersive, the story grabbed me and didn’t let go. I enjoyed the entire series but this was my favorite book of the three. I recommend reading the author’s notes as well.

[Yasmin Mendoza · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my first time reading a book by Gina Giordano and I was not disappointed at all! I was lucky enough to be chosen as an arc reader and I was blown away with the amazing writing style that Gina has. This is the third book in the series titled “The Strange Eden” and you have to read the first two books in the series to seriously understand this book.

This is a continuation of Eliza’s story and when her husband has been deemed dead to everyone in their town, after being branded as a traitor, Eliza doesn’t believe it. She knows that her husband is still alive, and somewhere, and that he wouldn’t have just died. She is desperate to find him and the only way to do so is by accepting an alliance with the King of the Underworld, Captain Hiram Bruin.

What Eliza doesn’t know is that Lord Dunmore has ordered her death and the one that has to complete that is Captain Bruin. Instead of following the rules (because why would he giggling face), he offers Eliza passage on his ship and she ultimately accepts. The journey that she goes through is full of tension and danger, not knowing what is true or false anymore. And, if she does find Charles, would she still want him? Or has it been too long that she has been led astray? I haven’t read too many historical fiction novels with romance playing a huge factor in the novel, but I absolutely loved reading this book! I was just blown away with how amazing, creative, and one of a kind Gina’s writing truly is and I highly recommend to anyone who wants to disappear to 1794’s Pleasant Hall 🙂‍↕️

[Toni R. · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 stars rounded up!

I devoured this book, and I have to say I am so impressed with how the author keeps the stakes building and the plots becoming darker as the series progresses.

Color of Fire picks up right where the second book left off- Charles has been abducted and Eliza is stuck staving off greedy creditors when she was finally settling into her marriage (think enemies to lovers/fated mates over the course of two books) and beginning their work of freeing slaves. Eliza partners with the pirate, Hiram Bruin, in her desperate attempt to find and save her husband. This novel has dual points of view from Charles’s and Eliza’s perspectives on their harrowing journeys desperately trying to get back to one another. This book is both thrilling and dark, and I just couldn’t put it down!

I can’t wait to see what else Giordano publishes. Definitely recommend this for anyone who likes historical fiction! I also highly recommend you read the authors notes in all the books. She goes through TWs and why some of the darker material were present in the first two books, and in this note, she weaves her whole process together, key details of the books, and her impressive research. Many of these characters (including Bruin) are actual historical figures!

Thank you to the author and publisher for an ARC of this book. This review was left voluntarily.

[Michelle Shamy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this. It drew me in from the very first chapter. I loved that this was a historical setting. I’ve really never read much in that regard. So I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how wonderfully this flowed. The description was fantastic. And the characters were so well written. I loved the twists and turns, just everything about it was awesome.
Thank you for the opportunity to read this as an ARC for you. I truly enjoyed it.

[Megan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an epic conclusion to the Strange Eden trilogy

- gothic vibes
-historical fiction

Her husband is missing
Collectors are coming and threatening her
-Captain Bruin brings her aboard, but things don’t go as planned.
Eliza and Charles each go on their own journeys of torture and survival. Will they be able to make it back to each other.

- side note I was anti- Charles and I really didn’t think Gina was able to give him such a redemption arc and make him likeable and root for him! But she did! This is my top Historical Fiction series of 2025!

Wow. What an epic, dark, and utterly gripping conclusion to the Strange Eden trilogy! Gina Giordano has crafted an immersive historical world in the 1790s Bahamas and delivered a finale that did not disappoint. The stakes are higher than ever, the atmosphere is incredibly tense, and the characters are pushed to their absolute limits.
Eliza's journey in this book is phenomenal. Devastated by the disappearance of her husband, Charles, and facing ruin from the Governor's greed, her desperation forces her into an uneasy alliance with the notorious "king of the underworld," Captain Hiram Bruin—a man who was actually tasked with her death. The dynamic between Eliza and Bruin is everything: complex, morally gray, and filled with palpable tension. I was completely invested in her "descent into her own version of a Caribbean Hell" to save her husband, a journey that explores female rage, obsession, and resilience.
The plotting is masterful. The story takes readers on a wild, dangerous voyage from New Providence to England, and every twist and turn felt earned and genuinely surprising. Giordano's historical research shines through, making the 18th-century setting a character in itself, full of corruption, danger, and breathtaking descriptions of the sea. The constant reminder that "the only monsters at sea are men" adds a haunting layer to the narrative.
If you love sweeping historical sagas, complex, flawed characters, and a true sense of adventure, you need to read this trilogy. The Color of Fire ties everything up perfectly while maintaining the dark, intense atmosphere that makes this series so unique. An absolute must-read!

10/10 Would recommend to family and friends

Have you ever been completely absorbed by a book series? For me, this is it.

The Strange Eden series will always have a special place in my heart. It's one of those stories that will keep the characters in your thoughts for years, making you miss them. A truly unputdownable tale.

The long-awaited installment was everything I hoped for and more.

Reading this series took me on an emotional rollercoaster, and while I'm thrilled to have witnessed the characters' reunion, I know I will miss them dearly.

This was a dark adventure through the pirate underworld and the twisted mind of the enemy who aimed to destroy everything and almost succeeded.

It's amazing how the author sheds light on the issues of the slave trade, the injustices of powerful men, and so much more unfairness from that era that we get to experience. There’s so much happening in this series that it’s impossible to cover every detail, so I’ll let you discover it for yourself.

If there’s an author who truly deserves recognition and is so underrated on Booktok, it’s her. The amount of research she put into this, along with how long it’s been a concept in her mind, makes it all the more emotional to see it finally in print. Thank you, Gina for allowing me to experience this 'Strange Eden' of a world. I can’t wait to see what else you have planned for us readers.

If you’re eager to dive into a brand new, exotic world and uncover all its hidden truths and beauty, then you absolutely need to pick this up.

Thank me later! 😉

[Emily · Rating 5 out of 5]

Color of Fire is an epic, storm-tossed finale to the Strange Eden Trilogy, and easily the darkest of the three books. From the moment Eliza learns that Charles has been branded a traitor and declared dead, you feel the desperation pulsing through every chapter. Her uneasy alliance with Captain Hiram Bruin—a man as dangerous as the seas he rules—creates a heart-pounding journey from New Providence to Saba to England. The depravity and depths the villain sinks to in pursuit of revenge are completely unhinged, keeping me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The way Gina threads that backstory through the narrative is nothing short of masterful, making me rethink scenes from the earlier books in a whole new light. Eliza and Charles remain two of my favorite historical fiction characters ever—complex, loyal, and deeply human. Fans of Outlander will rejoice in this gothic Caribbean masterpiece, equal parts romance, peril, and historical intrigue. And that ending? Chef’s kiss. It’s the conclusion I was quietly rooting for from the start, and it delivered in every possible way.

[Lily Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ll start this review off by saying that by the end of the book, I was sobbing. I mean, literal sobbing. The Strange Eden series has been such a massive part of my life for the past two and a half years that I genuinely do not know how I will ever get over its ending or read another book without comparing it to the trilogy.

Gina is an artist. There is no other way to say it. She has created not just one, but THREE literary masterpieces. The world will not know what has hit it when The Colour of Fire is released.

Since the first page of Strange Eden, Eliza has blown my mind with her courage, determination and sheer strength. Eliza has had to deal with the most incredible challenges, persevered through the toughest trials and tribulations, struggled against society’s expectations of her gender, yet has still managed to remain a trusting and loyal heroine.

Hiram Bruin is honestly the most sick and twisted villain I could ever imagine - to the point where I questioned Gina’s ability to pull off the ending I was hoping for, as I didn’t think an author would be able to recover from writing such a dark book.

I don’t want to say too much about any other character as I do not want to spoil any of the three books, but Gina - you know who I love, and I would die for them.

If any book were to win an award for ‘Best Character Arcs’, it would be this one. I have never (and probably will never again) experienced so many plot twists in one book! If anyone reading this has not read the Strange Eden or The Island King - don’t get too comfortable, it’s not going to end how you think it will.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to write a review that does any book Gina writes justice. Her books should be shouted about from the rooftops; they should be number 1 bestsellers in every country, available in every language, in every shop.

I am genuinely heartbroken that this series has come to an end, and even writing this has left me crying, but I cannot wait for what

[Mark Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

It all ends here and wow what a finale it was! After the end of The Island King our heroine Eliza is left in tatters with Charles capture and Lord Dunmore's minions trying to destroy what is left of his legacy by declaring him dead to confiscate his property. Knowing in her heart of hearts that Charles is still alive, Eliza is will do anything to find Charles. Enter Hiriam Bruin, the only man that can help her. But has Eliza found a savior or made a deal
With the devil?

The dynamic between Eliza and Bruin is fascinating and ripe with tension every scene they share together. Without giving away any plot points I will say Bruins moral code is twisted to put it mildly. There aren’t many characters like him and his history ties the events of all three books in a way that is shocking yet refreshing at the same time. This leads to a final showdown that had me sitting at the edge of my seat and the payoff is so worth it. At the end of the book I felt a catharsis I have not felt in a long time in reading other stories. I could not of asked for a better send off for both Eliza and Charles.

The Strange Eden Series is a triumph of historical fiction story telling. Color of Fire is truly a perfect ending to what has become my favorite book series. History buffs have to check out Ginas authors notes. There are tremendous nuggets that really give context to the time period the story takes place in. I not only recommend the entire series, I hope it becomes world famous because it deserves it!

[Nathalie Najibi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Color of Fire delivered a gripping and atmospheric conclusion to the Strange Eden trilogy that kept me fully invested from start to finish. The story picks up with Eliza desperate to save her husband’s life and protect everything she holds dear, and her journey across treacherous seas alongside the morally complex Captain Hiram Bruin was intense, unpredictable, and compelling.

Eliza is such a strong, resilient fmc, and I loved seeing how far she’s come since book one. Her dynamic with Captain Hiram Bruin adds so much depth to the story, he’s complex, unpredictable, and the perfect reluctant ally to raise the stakes. Their journey is filled with action and high emotion, but also quieter moments that really highlight the heart of this series: love, loyalty, and the lengths we go to protect the people we care about.

The series as a whole is imaginative, rich in detail, and full of dark, thrilling turns. I’d recommend Color of Fire to anyone who loves immersive historical fiction with complex characters and high stakes. it was a powerful end to an unforgettable journey. It ties the trilogy together in a way that feels both heartbreaking and hopeful. If you’ve followed Eliza’s journey this far, this final installment is absolutely worth it.

Color of Fire is the third book within The Strange Eden Series. I have been very fortunate to have been able to read all three of the books. I was also fortunate to receive the Color Of Fire book box. The box itself was absolutely gorgeous. The book and contents within the box are amazing. I love the color and design. Gina did a beautiful job with this series.
Color of Fire is a gothic historical fiction story.
I loved Eliza’s character. She’s such a strong character. This book has so many good tropes but a few of my favorites are
enemies to lovers
fierce FMC
touch her and ☠️
dual pov.
Lord Dunmore has ordered the death of Eliza. You’re pulled in from the start and I couldn’t get enough of it, then finding out what happened to Eliza’s husband Charles. I was not a fan of Lord Dunmore. He was a greedy man. Lord Dunmore has given Bruin the task of taking care of Eliza but he wasn’t a man who followed being told what to do very well. I love that Eliza was willing to go through such hardships to save her husband Charles. This was the perfect conclusion to the series.

Color of Fire by Gina Giordiano is book 3 in the Strange Eden series by the author. I have read the previous two books, which you must read to understand the story thus far. This was a thrilling conclusion to the fantastically written historical tale the author has told thus far. Our FMC is Eliza who has just found out that her husband Charles, that she loves so much is missing and presumed dead and a traitor to the crown. Eliza knows that Charles is still alive somewhere so she sets out trying to find him and enlists the help of Captain Hiram Bruin who is a 'pirate' and not the best guy overall. Will Eliza find her husband? Well you need to read this thrilling end to the series and find out! The writing is engaging from the beginning to the end and you can not help but be engaged in the story no matter if it is a historical tale, as the author tells this story in a modern way. The ending to the series wraps up the books for everyone involved with no cliffhangers or anything that makes you say what just happened. I really enjoyed this one as Eliza is forced to put her trust in a untrustworthy man who is capable of destroying everything. I highly recommend this book and the entire series to fans of historical fiction!

🔥 ARC Review: Color of Fire by Gina Giordano 🔥
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I devoured this book in two days flat — Color of Fire completely consumed me in the best way. This is book three in the series, and wow, Gina Giordano did not hold back.

It’s got everything: dark history, feminine rage, and that perfect “she saves him” energy that makes you want to throw your book across the room and then immediately pick it back up again. The emotion? Raw. The tension? Delicious. The payoff? Totally worth it.

Giordano’s writing is lush and vivid — she paints every scene like fire on the page. If you love morally complex characters, powerful women reclaiming their strength, and stories that don’t shy away from pain and power in equal measure, this is absolutely a must-read.

Release date: November 20th — mark it down and pre-order now. Trust me, you’ll want this one the second it drops.

She’s playing a dangerous game and likely is going to get burned. Eliza though has no other choice as she fights to rescue the man not too long ago she hated. As she learned more about who he really was and what he was willing to fight for in the second book of this series she began to really she who he was. Now it seems she may be too late in telling him that she does love him. When Bruin comes along she has no choice but to trust that he will help her. Yes, he may have gotten her on his ship without her permission, but at least she was able to make sure her son was safe before he swept her away. Now it seems it’s a race across the seas to find and save Charles who she is sure is alive. Whether or not she will be by the time they reach him is still up for debate. When you have to trust the dangerous pirate you never know what really will happen.
An incredible finale to the series. You will be swept away not only across the ocean but with a story that makes you wonder who really can be trusted and will redemption be found?

[Debbie Rozier · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the conclusion to the Strange Eden trilogy. Each book is full of action and drama. It has fictional and nonfictional characters and portrays life in the Bahamas in the early 1790s.

This book is set in 1794. It begins in the Bahamas and then spends most of the book on a ship crossing to England with a stop on the island on Saba.

This book has the points of view of Eliza and her husband, Charles, separated due to his capture because he was trying to do stop the corrupt Governor of the Bahamas.

This book has a lot about the life aboard a privateer ship. It is a violent and dangerous life.

I thought this book was fabulous. It is fast moving. It also has a bit of the paranormal as dreams and visions are part of the plot. I love the interweaving of the fictional and nonfictional characters. It is obvious this book was well researched and the author’s note at the end is very interesting and not to be skipped over.

[Ashley Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a new author for me - I got chosen to early read this book and thankfully got to read the first two in the series as well!

It took me a minute to get into but I’m sooo glad I finished it out! Set in the 1970s Bahamas - the vibe was different.

The stakes were high and just the atmosphere and tension of the story kept you wanting to turn the pages!

Eliza’s husband disappears and people keep coming to collect. She doesn’t believe he’s dead - enter Bruin.

There were pirates, there was danger…the plot of this story was actually pretty incredible. The resilience and female intensity of this story…it was awesome. I can’t imagine the research as far as history - it was a really good read and the perfect conclusion of the trilogy! Highly recommend!! Thank you @ginagiordanobooks and @happilybookedpr for the early read! All opinions are my own.

[Aria · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Color of Fire concludes Gina Giordano’s trilogy with a dramatic and poignant finale, addressing long-standing conflicts and relationships. The narrative tackles themes of sacrifice, power, and redemption amid the harsh realities of 18th-century colonial life. As an ARC, the pacing feels uneven at times, with some abrupt transitions disrupting flow. While the worldbuilding remains immersive and the conclusion satisfying, character development feels undercooked for a series ender. The book offers closure but leaves some emotional arcs only partially explored. Overall, The Color of Fire receives 3 stars for its ambitious resolution and strong setting, balanced by uneven execution and depth.

“And I thought you were my savior in my darkest hour. How very wrong I was.”

Color of Fire is the dark, thrilling conclusion to Gina Giordano’s sweeping historical epic, the Strange Eden Trilogy.

What to expect:
🌴 Dark History
🔥 Revenge
🌴 Pirates
🔥 Adventure
🌴Political Corruption
🔥 Secrets Unveiled


My Thoughts:
Eliza’s downfall is that she is too trusting. In this third and final book of the Strange Eden by Gina Giordano, we see Eliza on a journey to rescue her husband. Everyone has given up on him, assuming that he is dead after his capture, having been sold off to a dangerous pirate.
Eliza, however, is determined to see him again.
I ended up rating Color of Fire: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

[Raychel Klotz · Rating 4 out of 5]

A strong conclusion to the series, but not as fast paced as the first two, but still completely worth it.

Eliza’s journey takes a more political turn as she escapes danger once again, only to face a new threat: a government determined to strip her of her home, her belongings, and even the truth about her husband. They call her a widow but she knows better. She knows the game they are playing.

Thrown back onto a ship in search of her husband, Eliza refuses to give up. Her determination and her loyalty is strong, finally finding her voice and holding to it.

Characters I swore I hated found redemption (some), and the HEA I’d been waiting for finally came.

A satisfying end to a series that kept me in love from the start.

[Trina Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome story. It was a page turner, and the suspense was insane. I was on the edge of my seat, and I couldn't even put it down. The book cover caught my attention and more. Lady Sharpe had just lost her dead husband could the person who killed her husband might wanted her for himself in this moment. Will the actions have consequences or will things heat up between this other guy. The characters were amazing, and you could just fall in love with their fire of romance and chemistry they share.
I highly recommend this book Happily Book PR via Bookfunnel and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Color of Fire is the third and final book in the Strange Eden Trilogy.

The story continues with Eliza trying to save her husband. She crosses dangerous seas with Captain Hiram Bruin, who is such a well written, often grey character.

I absolutely loved the first two books in the trilogy, and this book is so wonderful.

Eliza is such a strong dynamic character.

The story is filled with so much action and adventure.

The story is so fill of detail and exciting twists and turns.

The characters are complex, flawed and well fleshed out.

Such an exciting conclusion to an amazing trilogy.

What. An. Adventure.

This book review is brought to you today as I wrapped up the Strange Eden’s trilogy. That…

-Is one of my top trilogies for numerous reasons.
-Was so BEAUTIFUL and colorful in its writing and dark in its truths.
-Contains a set of characters that I will likely think of often because they were quite impressionable.
-Never ever failed to keep me on my toes!
-Is highly recommended by me, given it is a genre that is appealing for you!


This last book, full of heartfelt intuition and desire to find what’s hers and right the wrongs of others around her…Color of Fire was the craziest adventure starting from like the first chapter, and concluded with my favorite ending! Elizas strength and determination as always, is admirable.

Thank you for such a wonderful series!

This story ended as it began, with Eliza and Charles together, as it should.
Color of Fire picks up immediately where Island King left off; Charles has been kidnapped by pirates and Eliza is trying everything in her power to get him home. It was insane to see how creditors came knocking on their door a mere 2 weeks after Charles disappeared claiming he was dead and trying to collect debt. People were trying left and right to pull a fast one on Eliza.
This was such a great conclusion to the trilogy thank you to the author and R&R book tours for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!

As soon as it hit my email for this arc. I went a whirlwind of non stop reading it.
It’s such a page turner.
It continues where it left off, which I was not a happy camper I had to wait what happened next. But the wait was worth it.
