Notes: Please do not be scared by the warning on this fic! I promise you nothing graphic happens!

So...hello! As promised, here is Book Two of Phoenix Invictus. I hope you're all excited!

I'll be posting one chapter a week every Wednesday for the next eight weeks. I'll try to post around lunch time, like I did today, but we'll see.

Notes will go at the end of each chapter due to the footnotes.

There is some dub/non con in this one, due to a person manipulating another person's emotions and dreams. Nothing explicit happens, but still. Be advised of it.

The gorgeous artwork for this fic is by spanambula. There is also a mix by ivycross.
