THE STORY

About Dyeing the Phoenix

Seraphina Sterling and her sister Grace clash over a prophecy—and the royal betrothal that comes with it.

Thrust into the Aurora Empire's deadly power struggles, she forges an unlikely alliance with the Khan to stop the warmongering General Gabriel Grant. But as dark secrets surface—a bride swap, a hidden bloodline—Seraphina must sacrifice everything she holds dear for loyalty and justice.
