Phoenix Child - Paperback

"The fairest maiden, if ye proved to be thine saviour. Thine steady sword and courageous battle-cry shalt vanish, grant your warrior a wish of splendour and might. Let us be a destiny's fate akin to Ordellius and Aviana, the star-crossed love that came to be and had always been to be."

- Dominic Goldwyn

Calida Rhodes is the dutiful daughter of a seemingly esteemed faction member. The girl who is neither nobility nor commoner. In the between, she is forced to be independent and practical.

Calida's one desire had been to make paintings to escape home. As she grew older, any wishes were abandoned to take on her responsibility.

It is the duty of unwed maidens to put their family first. In Eonifond, ladies of the court are expected to marry into a wealthy home. Spending their time basking in cakes and jewelry. Nobility live like gluttonous pigs whilst ignoring the plight of their commoners.

The Marquess' wedding reception changed everything for her.

The announcement of her engagement to the earl of Weommadran, Dominic Goldwyn, shocked her and crushed her dreams of possibly fading into the woodwork. Then her father didn't come home.

It is up to her to find out why the nobles are suddenly all interested in him and why what happened to him is being swept under the rug.
