Mercenary captain Rhea Solas has a grain convoy to protect and a brother conquering the ports it must pass. When a warning names the blood of the phoenix, her mentor insists that she alone can decide Valoria's fate. Rhea wants proof, along with a way to keep her crew out of Caden's war.

At the Emerald Citadel, rival captains bargain for influence while the island delegates struggle to hold a defensive alliance together. A spy in Rhea's camp exposes how little she knows about the people beside her. As Caden closes on Stormwatch, family loyalty and the lives of her company demand different answers.

To save the harbour, Rhea must risk losing the fortress. To make peace last, she must confront what victory would entitle her to claim. Blood of the Phoenix is an adult fantasy novella of sibling conflict, mercenary loyalties and the difficult work of building a peace that can survive its leaders.
