A lost sister. A broken vow. A realm on the edge of ruin. Septima is gone. Those were the last words Aurelia Vesta heard after being wounded in battle. Her sister has been taken by the enemy, and no matter how hard she searches, there's no sign of her. The vow they made to always stay together has been broken. With the phoenix warriors of Aegricia and the war-torn kingdom of Norithae at her side, Aurelia will risk everything to save Septima and end the barbaric Warbotach ruler's reign over the land of Ekotoria. But the corrupt king is not the true enemy. 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.
