Kings and Pawns (Bloodline of the Phoenix Book 2)

Cam discovers he is no longer human. Navi must explain the rings and the changes occurring in his body. Cam faces a choice: embrace the bloodline awakening within him or suppress it and remain human. Either decision will affect Naomi as well. Beyond this personal crisis, Cam's town faces multiple urgent challenges. He and Naomi must complete a mating ceremony and formally welcome the spirit beast village into their community. Most pressingly, they need to fortify their town and build alliances before an impending war begins. With the Rezzen Kingdom fallen, other kingdoms sense opportunity. Though Cam commands the only remaining high rankers in the kingdom, he learns this may be insufficient. He must use diplomacy to build or recruit an army. As he investigates the history of the last spirit beast king, larger questions emerge: why do the other races hate or dislike humans? Can Cam achieve his vision of a town where all races thrive together? Ultimately, everything hinges on a central problem: if Cam is not human, how will the world respond when this truth is revealed? And what will happen to his core if he accepts his new bloodline?
