Wings of Flame
Book One of the Phoenix Province Trilogy Prophecies 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. |

Blade of Embers
Book Two of the Phoenix Province Trilogy Hope is harder to hold when everything you love has already been lost. Sterlyn of Raven House believes Rillion has passed into Everlasting—and with her, the life he once dreamed of. Determined to begin anew, he turns away from his family and province to pursue the calling of a Prior. But before he can claim a new future, Sterlyn must pass three trials that lead him deep into hostile forests ruled by warring clans of dwarves, centaurs, and other creatures who despise human intruders. Failure could cost him everything. Rillion, still alive but broken in spirit, endures life under the control of her cruel stepfamily as her beloved province crumbles into corruption and despair. When a mind-clouding potion finally loosens its hold, Rillion is forced to face the truth of what she has lost—and what may still be saved. With the help of an unlikely ally, Juniper the okbold, Rillion must decide whether she will surrender to hopelessness…or rise and fight for the people who once believed in her. Blade of Embers continues the YA faith-based fantasy trilogy of Alburnium, where courage is tested, faith is refined, and even the smallest spark can reignite a fallen kingdom. |

Crown of Ashes
Book Three of the Phoenix Province Trilogy The time for hiding has ended. The time to choose has come. Sterlyn of Raven House is on a desperate mission to rescue the last loyal citizens of the twin provinces. With a bounty on his head and the Moon Lord tightening his grip, Sterlyn searches for the one person who still matters most—Rillion. But Rillion of Phoenix House has changed. Branded a traitor by her own people, she lives as a hunted guardian in the forest, protecting a fragile refuge from enemy scouts and mercenaries. Though she dreams of leading her people to safety, many refuse to flee. To abandon their land would mean surrendering everything to the Moon Lord—and watching their world burn to ash. With no Regent to lead them, the provinces teeter on the edge of destruction. United by faith, courage, and an unlikely alliance with the diverse people of River Town, Rillion and Sterlyn must convince enemies to stand together—or face annihilation alone. Crown of Ashes is the powerful conclusion to the YA faith-based Alburnium Trilogy—an epic tale of redemption, unity, and hope inspired by the Cinderella legend. |
