A woman with power over fire and illusion and an 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.

~My Review~
Phoniex unbound is such a great story! It made me cry and my soul broke a little. But it was all worth it!
The story has a Roman Empire influence, therefore, it has some dark moments. However, it also lights the soul as it's filled with hope, bravery, and love.
Both characters are prisoners to their circumstances, one has hope and determination to guide him, while she only has tradition and fear to guide her.
Narration was outstanding and brought the story a live! You could feel the emotions pouring through her into you.
5 star read!
