Alaina-Fantasy
Phoenix was born to greatness-daughter of a sea witch and a sorceress of love. But with no magic of her own, she was cast aside, a powerless girl in a world ruled by power.
Exiled to the cursed war kingdom of Ravessia, Phoenix expects cruelty. Instead, she's given a silk bed, fine clothes, and a strange kind of kindness from King Orpheus himself-a man feared by kingdoms and adored by no one. She's tasked with caring for his children, watching over them like a shadow in a dying palace.
But Phoenix doesn't want comfort. She wants freedom.
In secret, she trains, plots, and prepares for the day she can disappear on her own terms. When her escape finally comes, it sparks a journey across haunted forests, pirate ships, and siren-filled seas-a journey of grit, growth, and the dangerous cost of becoming someone new.
Because the world keeps trying to define her by who she was born to...
But Phoenix is ready to decide who she'll become.
