Wings of Flame. The Phoenix Series, #1

Book One of the Alburnium TrilogyProphecies are dangerous things-especially when they rest on the shoulders of a girl from a struggling province. Rillion of Phoenix House lives in Karm Province, where her widowed father fights to hold their land together against growing unrest. When she receives a mysterious medallion said to awaken a powerful gift, Rillion isn't sure whether to believe in destiny-or fear it.
Her closest companion is Sterlyn of Raven House, the Regent's second son from the neighboring province of Kaim. Prosperous, walled, and secure, Kaim is everything Karm is not. Though their provinces have long stood together, rising threats along their borders begin to strain even the strongest bonds. As an ambitious ruler known as the Moon Lord emerges, plotting to overthrow both provinces, dangerous alliances form in the shadows.
When a political decision shatters Rillion's home and leaves her trapped beneath the cruelty of a new stepfamily, her hope flickers dangerously low. But even ashes can hide embers. Wings of Flame is the first book in a YA faith-based fantasy trilogy set in the early years of the enchanting world of Alburnium-an epic retelling inspired by the Cinderella legend, filled with courage, sacrifice, and the promise of hope.
