Shadows Over Solarean

The Sable household, once a pillar of loyalty, is torn down overnight—branded traitors and erased. Willow Sable, eldest daughter, watches kin fall and channels grief into steel. She rallies surviving women and victims into the Azure Phoenix Army, vowing revenge and to restore peace to the Solarean Empire. A masked man begins to shadow her: he returns her father's remains, shields her when poison nearly kills her, and moves with an intimacy that unsettles her. She does not know the mask hides Leon York, the former crown prince she loved for ten years. Torn between mistrust and hope, Willow and Leon lead the Azure Phoenix Army to topple a corrupt throne, and when the smoke clears, peace—and their long-awaited ending—arrives.
