  Summary

  Lady Dawn expected to die.

  After casting her soul to the wind, taking a one-in-a-million chance to escape the dungeons of Taegrin Caelum, the once-caged songbird of the Asclepius wishes nothing more than to find her Hearth and warn them of the coming danger. Instead, she’s anchored to a young man who knows far too much.

  Toren Daen only wanted to make it home safely. Now he’s in a world taken straight from the page, questioning what is real and what is fiction, scrambling to make something worthwhile. With his foresight, there’s only one way that Toren can see to keep this world safe: prevent the descent of the Legacy. But those in power will not make it easy: Nico Sever is in a league of power all on his own, and Arthur Leywin bears the burden of Fate a continent away. In this familiar-yet-not world of looming deities, any misstep along the roads of Alacrya could lead to a Fate worse than death.

  But what is death to a phoenix? With a burning secret in his core, Toren might just survive to be more than what Lady Dawn expected him to be. He might just survive to waylay the encroaching tide of death in the proxy war between raging asura clans.

  More than all of that, he might just live.
