A Sword from the Embers

A Sword from the Embers is the fifth novel in Chloe C. Peñaranda's An Heir Comes to Rise series.

Awakening from a dark defeat, Faythe discovers a greater threat to the life she has taken back. Staggering truths challenge her and reveal that some bonds were forged to be defied. The battle is lost and the war has only begun, and with an enemy captured it becomes clear that a storm can be tamed but never bottled.

Her return to Rhyenelle stirs a rival to the throne. Against the pressures of the court, it becomes a test of strength and will to keep her cunning cousin at bay. Two hands reaching for a crown is a challenge bound to end in blood, and the question is which of them will bleed for the right to reign.

No conflict in the realm can match the one that began long ago. The time has come for Faythe to face her title of heir before kingdom, and, with the help of those tied to her in destiny, for the Phoenix Queen to rise should all burn and fall.
