Rising Fire

By Ms. Rylee A Betchkal

Aurelie and Kian were destined to be enemies. Aurelie lived a life of happiness, love, and safety with her friends in Rosevein-until everything changed. The corrupt forces of Corvus, bent on eradicating the mythical creatures of Eshor, raze her village. Forced to flee to the stronghold of Devil's Heart, Aurelie's attempt to save her friends reveals an unexpected truth: she is the prophesied Phoenix, the one destined to revive a shattered nation. But with her newfound power comes a heavy burden. Aurelie struggles with the loss of her friends, the growing tension with Kian-the brooding Crow she must journey alongside-and the escalating pressure of an impending war.

Kian was raised to loathe the creatures Aurelie is meant to protect. He's spent his life training to destroy them, and yet, when fate brings him face to face with Aurelie, he saves her. Now, as he seeks refuge with the resistance, branded a traitor to his own people, Kian battles an inner turmoil. He still despises the monsters, or at least, he tells himself he does. But he can't deny the magnetic pull he feels toward Aurelie-her strength, her warmth. As the fires of war ignite and new destinies are forged, Kian must confront an impossible choice: hold on to his hatred, risk losing his sanity, or embrace the connection he feels with Aurelie.

In this time of war, people will become what they were always meant to be. The resistance will rise, minds will be changed, and in the darkest of times, a fire-perhaps even love-will burn brighter than ever.
