ORLANDO, Fla. - May 13, 2023 - PRLog -- The Phoenix empire fell to ruins, but its people haven't forgotten the lives they once had.

About the Novel:

Five years have been lost to a void in Reven Si'ahl's mind. Now, everything Reven was is barreling at him faster than he can process it. Family, love, enemies, demons, and nightmares he can't control plague him at all hours. The more he learns about his previous life, the more he questions his sanity.

Stuck with the small handful of survivors from the Phoenix Empire, Reven finds himself offering advice to his nephew, asking advice of his son, Kaleo, and learning that sometimes family can be your biggest enemy.

Meanwhile, the Kormandi King, Demyan, finds himself in need of the bard's aid again as he is left to sort out how to escape a nation hell bent on killing people with Power. By sheer luck, and with the help of Idris Acai - an assassin and Reven's other son - the miraculous is achieved until reaching Tierra Vida with the others. What should be a warm family reunion turns into Reven's greatest nightmare when Kaleo is taken by the Queen of Torment herself, Madhavi. Now Reven has to accept his new role, and go rescue his urchin before it's too late.

About the Author:

Michelle Schad juggles the life of a writer with too many genres to love and too many books to write, by telling her characters it's a first come, first serve order–and then promptly watching them line jump and throw themselves onto the page.

Because the world is chaos and bringing order to it might just rip away her sanity, she has hobbies like playing with ball-jointed dolls, and dreams, like petting a shark.
