This book explores mature themes including trauma, violence, and emotional abuse. Reader discretion is advised. When the Earth remembers, it does not forgive. Once, the Phoenixes rose to heal a broken world. Now their fire flickers again-through a child who was never meant to carry it, and a mother who will stop at nothing to protect her. In the shadow of a planet awakening, Katerina feels the pulse of something vast and ancient beneath her skin. Her daughter Everlea burns with a power that can mend the Earth-or unmake it. As forgotten forces stir, old alliances fracture, and a secret Council moves to claim what was never theirs to control. When light and life themselves become weapons, every choice carves a scar across the reborn world. Love becomes defiance. Hope becomes fire. And from the ashes, something new begins to rise.
