In the years since the death of her father, Holera Glowbrook has never given much thought to finding a mate, investing herself completely in her warrior training instead. As one of the few born as a phoenix shifter in the fae kingdom of Aegricia, she was born to be just that. A warrior. A protector of the portal between the realms of fae and humans. When her best friend insists that she join her at the local tavern, something Holera never does, she finds more than just the male of her dreams. She finds trouble with her general, and barbarians. Mate of the Phoenix is a prequel novella story from Crown of the Phoenix series based on the character, Holera.
