"A woman awoke with a fletched shaft protruding from her chest where her heart should be. Dazed, she ripped out the arrow. There was no pain in that action. No memory. There was simply nothing. Nothing but her impossible heartbeat and uneven breathing." This is the story that started it all. This book has been edited to reflect the series that it inspired, The White Phoenix Saga. Rewritten as an alternate universe, this book will take you back to the stories of Raene, Roen, and others who were there at the beginning. From a love rekindled, a dark mage tower, and addictions, these characters will struggle more than they ever have before. Revisit the beginning.
