Lumas Rising: Book Two of the Firebird's Daughter series - Softcover

Having discovered the truth about her parentage, Denit disappeared through the earth, using magical abilities she had never known she possessed, to escape certain death at the hands of the goddesses. Lumas, the Goddess of Beauty has other plans for her though, as Sov, the Sun God, is dying and must be replaced before his death throes cause him to crash into the planet. She charges the Storm Goddess to bring Denit to her, along with the crystal goblet, warning her that this is the last time the moon will rise until the Sun God is replaced. Unaware of Sov’s approaching death, and with the crystal goblet in his possession, Oculis has recruited those he is certain will aid him in his bid to continue his transformation from a simple owl into a full-fledged god. He no longer serves the blind Goddess of Air and is determined to take control of his granddaughter so that she will join him in his obsession for power. Aidena is alone in the desert, practicing her newly-discovered magical abilities when she encounters Sakari, a woman who was tracking a powerful magic maker from her own land who has come in search of Kaya, who is destined to become their emperor. Together they encounter a man from a land long-hidden by Sov whose red eyes, and ability to transfer the lifeforce of one living being into another, confirm an ages-old prophecy about the rebirth of the Sun Child. With the threat of the Sun God’s demise, time is running out as Lumas rises for the final time over the planet Sov created thousands of years ago.
