In a war between love and death, what happens when death has already won?
Training as a combat nurse is Aili Fallon’s escape from an abusive family and her grey existence. She seizes it with both hands, despite her guilt over leaving her mother behind. And within her class of trainees, she’s ironically found a level of peace, as she prepares for war.
But when she rescues a mysterious young woman in an alleyway behind a bar, something in her shifts - nothing as simple as desire. Almost like a homecoming, to a home she’s never known. Tairei knows Aili, even if Aili can’t recognize herself in Tairei’s eyes. And in Tairei’s presence, the world routinely upends itself, and the impossible becomes almost ordinary.
When Tairei disappears in a fiery tempest, she saves Aili but also grants her a terrible immortality, and new and undiscovered powers Aili can’t control. She will risk all the safety she has won to find Tairei again: crossing into a spiritual realm, wielding a sword she can’t remember, and discovering a love doomed a thousand years ago.
And it just might bring Aili back to life.
*****
The Phoenix and the Sword is the first book in the Crane Moon Cycle duology, a slow burn FF and MM love story set in a world inspired by cultivation fantasy. The story is completed in The Shoreless River, which is followed by the standalone novel The Seaglass Blade.
