Book 1

Crown of the Phoenix

by C.A. Varian

Published 24 May 2022

‘Each tick brought her closer to her doom. Tick. Aurelia forgot how to breathe. Tick. Panic consumed her. Tick. She needed to get free. Tick. Before it was too late. Tick.”

Aurelia Vesta did everything with her sister, Septima… including running away from home. When their father announced their arranged betrothals, her sister vowed to die before following through with the marriage. Aurelia, determined to find a place where Septima would be allowed to be with another woman, led the way into the Howling Forest, but their late night escape landed the pair in a fantasy realm full of death and danger.

Their new world grants her sister equal rights, but that freedom comes with a heavy cost. Aurelia finds herself among the fae as their world teeters on the precipice of a war, and suddenly the blissful future she’d promised Septima doesn’t feel so certain. But, even with the promise of violence hanging over their heads, the Vesta girls find love… until dark secrets and hidden betrayals taint their new lives.

When her closest ally deceives her and a blood-thirsty king threatens to conquer both worlds, can Aurelia find the courage to survive? Or will the magical warfare claim her as a victim?

This book contains mature themes, situations, and language.


Book 2

Crown of the Exiled

by C.A. Varian

Published 20 December 2022

Septima is gone.

Those were the last words Aurelia Vesta heard after being wounded in battle. Her sister had been captured by the enemy, and no matter how hard she searched, there was no sign of her. After fleeing their home together and crossing the portal into a magical fae world, the sisters were separated. The vow they'd made to always stay together was broken.

With the phoenix warriors of Aegricia and the war-torn kingdom of Norithae by her side, Aurelia will do whatever it takes to save Septima and end the barbaric Warbotach ruler's reign of terror over the land of Ekotoria.

But the corrupt king is the least of her worries. His people conquer without remorse, but they are nothing more than puppets, and the Warbotach leader? He’s just a weapon wielded by a force everyone believed was gone for good.

When the battle rages and heroes fall, can the tide of the war be turned, or will the continent of Ekotoria—and Septima—be lost for good? No matter what happens, one thing is certain.

The fae realm will never be the same.

The Crown of the Phoenix series is a trilogy so Crown of the Exiled, which is book 2, will end on a cliffhanger.

Trigger Warnings:
Crown of the Exiled contains graphic (consensual) sex, mature language, captivity, violence and some torture.
