His armies are nothing more than pawns, his power borrowed from a force thought long banished - one that has returned to reclaim a throne lost to fire and blood.As the war escalates and the skies burn with dragon fire, Aurelia will be forced to face truths about her heritage, her destiny, and the terrible cost of victory. When the final battle comes, heroes will rise, kingdoms will fall, and nothing in Ekotoria will ever be the same.The Crown of the Phoenix series is a trilogy so Crown of the Exiled, which is book 2, will end on a cliffhanger.Trigger Warnings: Crown of the Exiled contains graphic (consensual) sex, mature language, captivity, violence and some torture.
