A woman with power over fire and illusion and the enslaved son of a chieftain battle a corrupt empire in this powerful and deeply emotional romantic fantasy from the USA Today bestselling author of Radiance.
Every year, each village is required to send a young woman to the Empire's capital--her fate to be burned alive for the entertainment of the masses. For the last five years, one small village's tithe has been the same woman. Gilene's sacrifice protects all the other young women of her village, and her secret to staying alive lies with the magic only she possesses.
But this year is different.
Azarion, the Empire's most famous gladiator, has somehow seen through her illusion--and is set on blackmailing Gilene into using her abilities to help him escape his life of slavery. Unknown to Gilene, he also wants to reclaim the birthright of his clan.
To protect her family and village, she will abandon everything to return to the Empire--and burn once more.

I don't know where to start my review with Phoenix Unbound, I'm still speechless!I was hooked from page one and I find myself travelling in this world with the characters.
I was intrigued and curious to see what is going to happen!This story is raw,brutal and emotional! Throughout the story my heart was aching, there were moments I needed to stop and then go back to the story!
"She and this slave fighter shared a common truth. He dealt death with sword and ax, and she with fire. Neither commanded their fates."
