A Heart of Embers and Shadows (Phoenix Stone Saga)

By Lorraine Kate

A world torn apart by war... A legendary stone of power... Two hearts forged by destiny Aliana Naeceran-Morven has only known three things to be constant in her life: War, devastating loss, and death. For a thousand years, her elven people, and the monstrous, shapeshifting dark elves of the icy territory, Valborjian, have been at war, and Aliana has had enough of it. When her older brother, Fiero, is brutally murdered by their enemies, the burden of the throne falls upon her to find a solution to a problem she did not start. But there's an even bigger problem-- Aliana does not have the same phoenix shapeshifting abilities and fire magic her family does, making her less ideal to rule as Queen. Or, so her father, the King of Morven, thinks anyway. Despite her magical disadvantages, Aliana is ready to do anything to save her people from war, even if that means accepting the leader of the Dark Elves, Lord Zandros, as her mate and husband in an attempt to unite their feuding territories. But it's no easy feat to pretend to love your enemy. Meanwhile, while they are striving to unite their territories, enemies rise from the shadows, seeking to destroy their estranged union and to find Aliana's lost family heirloom, the Phoenix Stone, which gives the holder power over all elements and the power of immortality. To stop another war from raging, Aliana and Zandros must put aside all their differences, obtain peace across the land, find the truth about her past, and uncover the lost Phoenix Stone before their new harrowing foes can. If not, they risk losing everything and everyone they've ever loved.
