Born of fire. Hunted by kings. Feared by all. The Phoenix Child has risen... and the world may never survive it.In a fractured land of fading legends and smouldering war, a mysterious child is found at the heart of a burning crater. Their skin shimmers with faint emberlight. Their cries spark flame. Their very existence defies nature-and the old prophecies stir awake.The kingdoms expected a hero.They feared a monster.But no one was ready for the truth.Kaela Voss, disgraced soldier and reluctant exile, never wanted to be a protector. Scarred by betrayal, she wanders the wilds, determined to outrun her past-until fate quite literally falls into her arms. The Phoenix Child. Fragile. Untamed. Burning with a power that can either save the world... or reduce it to ash.Now, hunted by fanatical cults, ruthless monarchs, and those who would kill or crown the child, Kaela must choose: abandon the impossible burden thrust upon her, or fight for the one flame the world isn't ready for... but desperately needs.But there's a twist to the prophecy no one saw coming.To truly rise, the Phoenix Child must fall first.From crumbling cities to forgotten temples, through rebellion, ancient magic, and impossible choices, Kaela, the child, and a fractured world collide in a struggle for survival-and for the right to shape what rises from the ashes.The Phoenix Child is not here to save them.but rather here to remind them: Fire cannot be tamed. And change never asks permission.Perfect for fans of:
