Crown of feathers

In a world ruled by fierce warrior queens, a grand empire was built upon the backs of Phoenix Riders: legendary heroes who soared through the sky on wings of fire. Then a war between two sisters ripped it all apart. Veronyka is a war orphan who dreams of becoming a Phoenix Rider from the stories of old. After a shocking betrayal from her controlling sister, Veronyka disguises herself as a boy to seek out the Riders. But the new empire has learned of the Riders’ return — and intends to destroy them once and for all.
