Корона из перьев

I really enjoyed this one!

Veronyka has always wanted to be a phoenix rider. She grew up listening to her grandmother's stories about them, and knew it was her destiny. But, she doesn't even know if they exist anymore. She must go on a journey and find out. She has to be careful though, because being an animage can get you killed if the wrong people find out.

I loved the characters (not Val), and the magic is fantastic. I will definitely continue on with this series.
