Wings of Flame - The Phoenix Series, #1 - E-book - ePub

Prophecies are hard to live up to, especially when given to a mere girl child from a faltering province. Yet, the medallion that Rillion of Phoenix House was given, suggests a special gift that will one day awaken within her...a gift to right the wrongs invading her beloved Karm Province which her widowed Regent father struggles to rule. Rillion isn't sure what to believe. Her best friend, Sterlyn of Raven House, is the Regent's second son of their twin province of Kaim.
The walled city is beautiful, thriving, and everything Karm is not. As Sterlyn's friendship with Rillion grows into something deeper, his family worries he is treading on dangerous territory. They encourage him to start his studies at the Academy in Alburnium as soon as possible. The two provinces have been as close as Rillion and Sterlyn's life-long friendship. However, loyalties grow cold when evil knocks at the gates, threatening to destroy everything the Kaim Regent has worked so hard to build.
Some sacrifices must be made. A plan is hatched that might satisfy the emerging ruler who hungers for control and power in his desire to overthrow both provinces. During a brief visit to beautiful Kaim, Rillion's father is introduced to a widow, with twin daughters, who manages to steal his heart. When Father surprises Rillion with a new stepmother and two mean-spirited sisters, her world spirals into a pit of despair and loss that she may never rise out of.
Wings of Flame is the first in a series of three books set in the enchanting world of Alburnium. Start your next adventure with this new epic retelling of the legendary Cinderella fairytale.
