The Phoenix Crown
by Jess Rae
She was raised to believe she had no power.
No spirit.
No value.
No future.
For twenty-three years, Vessa Marrowen was the shame of her noble house—a daughter without a celestial bond in a kingdom where magic decides worth.
Then the forbidden black phoenix chooses her.
The same phoenix once bonded to Torren Blackvale, the dead traitor prince accused of murdering a queen and burning the palace to ash.
But Torren is not dead.
And the truth is far more dangerous than the lies.
Hunted by a king who wants her opened, haunted by a crown built on stolen fire, and bound to a man who may be her only anchor, Vessa must uncover who she really is before the kingdom turns her into a weapon.
