Flames | Smoke | Ashes It's been ten long years. The years have been long and hard on the three kingdoms. The people that once had hope for the end of the war in a peaceful manner only have their prayers to rely on. Phaepyr has the upper hand and with King David of Luxtene falling ill, time is running out. The stakes have never been higher than now. No amount of soldiers could fight their way out of this. The end of the war in Phaepyr's favor is months away. The world's only hope of survival rests in the hands of a little girl. Anjiila. While she knows little of the war, she has a guardian who knows just how cruel and unfair the world can be. He's been residing far in the woods, away from all those he once knew. Every moment since the day she was born, he has spent practicing his techniques, skills, and plans that he would someday use when the time was right. Phoenix, while hesitant, is more than ready now. He won't let anything happen to her. He lost one woman he loved. He won't let it happen again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The beautiful cover was done by Dysanic! Want more content?
