When The Phoenix Wakes

By A.R. Vale

Vie survived the fire, the poisoned coast, and the first truths her mother tried to bury.
But now the land is remembering.
The water is changing. Ancient magic is waking. And every step pulls Vie and Rewyn closer to a truth neither of them is ready for.
Rewyn's collar is gone, but freedom does not erase what was done to him. He is still guarded, still dangerous, and still hiding pieces of himself from the girl he was once sent to betray.
Then Vie sees the phoenix mark on Rewyn's body.
The same mark she carries.
Now the Lady in White is waiting with a legend that could explain everything-and a warning that could break what little trust Vie has left.
Because Rewyn may be her salvation.
Or he may be the one destined to betray her again.
When The Phoenix Wakes is Book Two in the Guardians of the Land series, a dark romantasy filled with ancient phoenix lore, found family, dangerous magic, slow-burn tension, and a bond powerful enough to save the land-or destroy what remains of it.
