Publisher's Synopsis
Prophecies are hard to live up to-especially when given to a mere girl child from a faltering province.
The medallion bestowed upon Rillion of Phoenix House hints at a special gift that will one day awaken within her-a gift to right the wrongs plaguing her beloved Karm Province, where her widowed Regent father struggles to maintain control.
Rillion isn't sure what to believe.
Her best friend, Sterlyn of Raven House, is the Regent's second son from the twin province of Kaim. Unlike struggling Karm, Kaim is a beautiful, thriving walled city. As Sterlyn's friendship with Rillion deepens, his worried family urges him to begin his studies at the Academy in Alburnium as soon as possible.
The two provinces have always been as close as Rillion and Sterlyn's lifelong friendship. But when evil threatens their gates, loyalties grow cold, endangering everything the province rulers have built.
Some sacrifices must be made.
A plan emerges to appease Lord Darnel, the rising ruler known as the Moon Lord. In his quest for power, he seeks to overthrow both provinces. To achieve this, he recruits a cunning dwarf-an old comrade-to help infiltrate and destroy them both.
During a brief visit to beautiful Kaim, Rillion's father meets a visiting widow with twin daughters who capture his heart. When he surprises Rillion with a new stepmother and two mean-spirited sisters, her world spirals into a pit of despair she may never escape.
Wings of Flames is the first in a series of three books set in the enchanting world of Alburnium. Start your next adventure with this epic retelling, loosely based on the legendary Cinderella fairytale.
