Rain's Redemption

After taking her own life, Merna-now reborn as Rain-defied the sacred cycle. Her soul escaped the underworld, bypassing the law that demands a full lifetime before reunion. All for one reason: Caelum, and the dying flame they once shared.

But one reckless night is all it takes for King Achlys-ruler of the underworld and collector of the lost souls to find her. Furious at her defiance, he demands her return. His punishment? To condemn her to servitude as a grim reaper.

Caelum refuses to let fate claim her again. But the king, a descendant of Hades himself, offers a challenge: an impossible path to redemption. If Rain can ascend into a phoenix-a healer of the highest order, something no soul has ever become-he'll let her stay.
It's a cruel mercy. But Caelum and Rain accept.
And so begins a trial of love, pain, and fire...
Where resurrection demands more than life, it demands transformation.
