Phoenix Blood

As Book 1 of the Cor fantasy series, Phoenix Blood follows Diarkis, the son of the most wicked emperor of the Five thrones of Cor. Diarkis survived his childhood and his father's reign of terror only to inherit his cut-throat council, an unfaithful betrothed, and the unresolved questions of his destiny. As he battles a mysterious illness, he must navigate love's twists and find the meaning of life.

Alleia, the rightful heir to the Five Thrones, as a descendent of the original fairy king, must solidify Diarkis' reign by bearing children. However, she doubts the realm's established faith and falls in love with a Christian servant. What will happen to her in a world where her fate is chosen by a devil-possessed tyrant?  What will happen to her children in a court where infants are slain as threats and mothers attempt suicide? Will she choose the man she's grown up loving...or a troubled, charming emperor?
