From the Ashes: The Phoenix Empire - Book 2 Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 316 ratings

Free from the tyrannical rule of the King of Strata, the Empire of the Last Phoenix struggles to stand against his vengeful wrath. Fighting off slavers, assassins, and groups of raiders, Wes and the still growing military of Selaffe have to figure out what they are willing to do to defend the newly formed Empire.

Relentless assaults by the King and neighboring cities of Strata aren’t the only thing threatening the Empire, as the demon sightings are increasing in frequency, getting more violent, and getting closer and closer to the highly populated Capital of Selaffe.

What does the Empire do when those loyal to the King vow to destroy them at all costs? What do they do when demons press closer to home? What does Wes do when he begins to learn more and more about himself and his strange powers?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Writer, gamer, podcaster, filmophile, also, aspiring billionaire and evil genius. Finally decided to finish one of my dozens of writing projects I've worked on over the years, and publishing it was nowhere near as scary as I thought it would be. Love reading sci-fi, fantasy, RPG Lit, and I've probably tried writing all those things as well.

    Would have given 5 stars but it needs editing. Loved the storyline and cant wait for the next book. The first book kept me up till 3am last night and now book two has me up till 2am. You are one of my new favorite authors and I hope people buy your books so you can afford to hire an editor. Thanks for sharing your stories.

    Enjoyable book with interesting characters. Aside from the wierd mountain, I am looking forward to the next book which will hopefully answer a few of the mysteries surrounding Wes.
