The Phoenix War
The Chronicles of Aeryndor Book 5
Rea Alexandris
She’s not the ending—they are.
Book 5 – The Final Battle Begins
The gods are no longer sleeping.
And Kaelara is no longer mortal.
War erupts across Seudoree as divine chains shatter and ancient powers rise to claim the realm. Kingdoms fall. Magic fractures. Shadows flood the skies. And at the heart of it all stands Kaelara Veylin—marked by fire, claimed by shadow, and worshipped by a god who would raze the heavens to keep her.
She was once a symbol of rebellion.
Now, she is divinity incarnate.
And every god left standing wants her blood.
But Kaelara is no one’s weapon.
Not anymore.
To save the realm, she must embrace the full truth of her power—even if it means becoming the very thing the gods fear. Even if it means unleashing the one bound to her soul.
Kaelen.
The god of shadows.
Her balance. Her undoing. Her mate in every way that matters.
Together, they will rise.
Together, they will burn.
Together, they will end it.

Enemies-to-lovers with divine fire
Possessive gods and shadow-wrapped devotion
