War cannot be ignored.
It creeps into all aspects of life even when those in charge deem it best to disregard and keep their people in ignorance. The Kingdom of Ignis is no exception. As its princess, Moira's life centered around mundane worries such as picking what outfit to wear out of the hundreds gracing her closet, avoiding her lessons and hanging out with her Scarlets.
But that all changes on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, when the walls surrounding the Five Kingdoms are breached and she pulls a wounded soldier up through her shadow.
Swept up in the rippling consequences, Moira must mend burned bridges and awaken the latent Gift within in order to prove herself worthy of the knowledge and responsibilities befitting her title. Or risk losing all she had to begin with.
Phoenix Awakening is Krys E Jay's debut novel and the first book in the Hiraeth Song series, containing a taste of forbidden romance, a spoiled princess and an ever encroaching darkness.
