Phoenix of Calamity

In a world overrun by supernatural creatures and magic, phoenixes are known to be 'extinct' creatures of a distant past that were commonly referred to as 'Creatures of Calamity' and yet, contrary to that belief, they were also known to be creatures of sublime peace and indomitable mental fortitude. Our main character, Arthur is one of two princes of the Phoenixes. Born into a race that must remain hidden, lest they risk losing their lives to their mortal enemies, the Dragons. As life in the castle becomes more 'suffocating', the prince sets his sights on something... interesting. Barthlorn School of the Supernatural: An elite academy meant to train only the best to fight the Dark Forces of the Supernatural. Hunters, Dragons, Shifters, Warlocks, Healers, Magic and so much more are to be found within the walls of the great School. With so much to learn and so little to lose by doing so, the prince seeks adventure within the walls of the Academy. Like all oblivious main characters, nothing prepares him for the adventures he will find at great school. Nothing prepares him for the strength of the bonds he creates there... and with those bonds comes the frailty of his race's most sacred secret. Revealing the existence of his kind could quite literally mean death for all phoenixes. ............................. PS. The cover photo is not mine.

Harrowing Request

The king started collecting the various fantasy cards that lay on the floor. Having finished the Sun Ritual, there wasn't that much reason for the three royals to stay in the Chamber.

Gray started helping, bringing the box closer so they could put everything away.

The king's expression remained ponderous but unreadable as he carried out the simple task. Arthur found reading his father's mind impossible… perhaps because the king wanted it that way.

When it came to concealing their emotions and true intentions, Gray and the king were alike.

Even though the king took this skill to a whole other level.

Arthur never knew what was running through the man's mind at any one point… like the king kept his innermost thoughts guarded close to his heart, tucked away from the world outside.

In truth, Arthur had wanted to ask much more than why his memories had been sealed. He wanted to ask why he'd been lied to all these years… why he'd been isolated.
