The Phoenix Fern

When secrets burn, who will arise from the ashes?

Fern Oakby knows Lady Vivian Davies murdered her father. Proving it means taking on a woman protected by wealth, rank, and a society far more willing to ruin Fern than believe her.

But Fern is not alone. She goes to London with Seth Drakeman and the formidable family they have gathered around them. Their plan is audacious: bring down the Davies empire—ships, warehouses, railways and all—then use a truth serum to force Lady Vivian to confess before the entire ton.

But dark alchemy always exacts a price. The serum will expose Fern's secrets as ruthlessly as her enemy's. And Sir Luxton Davies has taken a young dragon hostage, threatening the very future Fern has fought to protect.

To win justice for her father, Fern must risk her reputation and everything she holds dear.

London expects to watch a ruined woman fall.

Fern intends to show them what rises from the ashes.

The blazing conclusion to the Leaf & Scale series of a forged family that will walk through fire together.
