After two years as a couple, shifters Luke and Elisa are ready to move their relationship forward by becoming engaged. But their joy is cut short when Elisa's husband pops up, not dead and furious at her betrayal. Left with no choice, Elisa must at last petition for entry into the Phoenix shifter community and ask for their protection, which puts her on a collision course with the militant shifters she fears. Now, along with Luke and their friends Ravi and Erica, she must take on a community in turmoil, or they'll all have to leave their home forever... but where could four disgraced shifters go? Perhaps it is better to engage in the struggle, even without the promise of safety. RISING FROM ASHES is the third book in Simone Beaudelaire's series of shapeshifter romance novels.
