The Phoenix Host - Paperback

by C. K. Miller (Author)

The first time I dreamed of the ruby, I woke with blood on my pillow and fire in my lungs.

I am a soldier of Roanfire. Fierce enough to hold my own on any battlefield, loyal enough to die for the people beside me, and foolish enough to keep believing in the ones who've already given up on themselves.

But none of that prepared me for what comes in the dark. Every night the same dream pulls me under. Fire, screaming, and a ruby calling me by a name that claims me.

It wants everything. My strength. My name. My people.

Every friend I trust, every person I let close, becomes a target. I can't protect them if I stay. But without them, I am already ash.

If the ruby wins, Roanfire burns. Not in war. In something far worse - a queen who has forgotten what life is worth.

So I fight. Not for myself.

For them.

Begin the journey today and step into the magical world of Roanfire.

READER PRAISE:

"This one goes to the 'Just One More Chapter Before I Go To Sleep-OMG Is That The Sun?!' shelf." -Paula Menz

"Loved the strong female character. She's strong in her own right, not at the expense of the males in the story. Spectacular villains, tender moments, character growth of all characters. Every character is deep and tangible, complex and detailed. The author has built a beautiful, conflicted world, and I can't wait to see where it all goes! If you haven't read this yet, DO IT!" -Steph J.

Author Biography

CK Miller spent most of her childhood roaming the countryside of Germany and playing in the medieval ruins hidden in the hills near the small village where she lived. At age 7 she was immersed in German schools where she fell in love with the rich medieval history and vivid folklore. Upon returning to America at the age of 14, German had become her first language. Feeling a bit homesick (and struggling with her English), she began to write, and has been writing ever since. When she is not writing or drawing, she can be found working in the garden or studying martial arts and natural medicine. She and her husband share their home near the Colorado Rocky Mountains with three beautiful boys.
