Cry of the Firebird

With the family farm to run after her grandfather's murder and a spiralling drinking problem Anya doesn't think life can get worse. But when Tuoni, God of the Underworld, interrupts her breakfast to tell her that her grandfather's responsibility's as a Gate Keeper of Skazki has now fallen to her, Anya's simple life falls into chaos. Planning to write Tuoni off as a drunken hallucination doesn't go smoothly when a stone, bequeathed to her by her grandfather, hatches into a legendary firebird. It's sharing its body with the broodingly good looking Prince Yvan, whose dark magician brother has been seeking to destroy for centuries. With powerful enemies closing in around them, Anya has no choice but to sober up, follow Yvan into Skazki and hope that she can learn how to control her awakening magic before it destroys her and any hope of keeping the gates to both world's safe. Steeped in Finnish and Russian mythology, "Cry of the Firebird" is an Amazon Dark Fantasy Top 100 Best Seller about the power of magic and the forces on both sides that seek to control it.
