Firebird Series

Her death was expected, but something more powerful kept her alive. Lady Firebird was born to the royal family of Netaia. Because of her birthplace in the family, however, her life is expendable. Honorable suicide is the highest calling she could hope to attain. When she is chosen to lead an attack on the neighboring planet of Veroh her death is expected. Instead she is taken prisoner during the battle and is held by the enemy. With her own people seeking her sacrifice, Firebird must choose between two worlds before she can carve out her new destiny. This is the story of Lady Firebird's personal battle and its eternal consequences, not only for herself but for everyone around her, and especially the man who loves her.

A new life for Lady Firebird... Forced to forsake her royal heritage, Lady Firebird now faces new and powerful enemies.  Firebird is pregnant with twins when her new husband, Brennen Caldwell, is left as the only heir to ancient messianic prophecies.  Meanwhile, on another world, Firebird's sister defects to the enemy camp and is made a prisoner. Brennen's superiors ask him to try to rescue her, and Phoena's desperate husband travels light-years trying to enlist Brennen's aid. But Brennen is not tempted to comply … until a divine dream sends him exactly where he does not want to go.

One Extraordinary Woman and the Enemy Within  Lady Firebird Angelo Caldwell has been sentenced to death "in absentia" for treason, sedition, and heresy. The last thing she expects is a summons to return home and be confirmed as an heiress of her royal house. But merciless foes are destroying entire cities of the Federate worlds. These renegades are trying to wipe out the messianic Caldwell bloodline, and they have almost eradicated the royal Angelos. To help trap an assassin, Firebird agrees to wear the heiress's tiara for one day of perilous pageantry.  Still, Firebird's deadliest enemy—the one that can destroy or bereave her—isn't that renegade assassin. Neither is it the despotic regent who hopes to seize the Angelos' throne, nor even the threat of dying in a desperate military strike at the renegades' world. Unless she can bring her own pride to heel, everything she cherishes will be lost.

As a Mikuhran diplomat, Wind must head off a conflict that could have spiritual, political, and military ramifications. But when Wind encounters Kinnor, the situation becomes more personal than anyone expects.
