From the Ashes — Scarlet Hyacinth

What is the value of a law long considered obsolete? How does one decision affect the course of the entire history? Most people never get the chance to find out, but Phoenix and Rachen do. Much to their dismay, they find themselves in a reality torn apart. The draechen emperor, Shtamakarein Tersain, rules the world with an iron fist, but he doesn't realize his mate is the man he considers his worst foe, Sari. His brother Hareematek hunts the nearly extinct werewolves, not knowing that his other half is among them. The entire world-paranormal and human-is at war. Phoenix now faces the hardest decision of all-having to choose between the life of his mate and that of countless others. And when his powers disappear, the situation grows even more hopeless. Will love be enough to fix the broken bonds? Can the world be reborn from the ashes, or will it collapse into ruins of a mutated history?
