Three books. One girl. A rising power that could save-or change-the world.

Vivian Carmine always knew she was different. She just didn't know she was a phoenix.

When her powers ignite at the worst possible moment, her parents reveal a hidden world of myth and ancient secrets - then vanish before they can explain anything else. Thrust into RISE, a secret academy where demigods and magical creatures train to blend into the human world, she must master her abilities, navigate shifting loyalties, and uncover the truth before everything she loves is lost.

This trilogy includes:

• Flash of Fire - A fiery secret. A missing family. A magical academy where survival is the first lesson.
• Drowning the Flames - A lost key. A rising threat. An underwater mission to prevent a global disaster.
• Into Ashes - A war for freedom. A battle for truth. A final stand against those who would control the magical world.

Narrated by award-winning voice actress Erin Chmela, The Phoenix Rising Trilogy is a fast-paced fantasy adventure packed with high-stakes action, spy-school tension, and a heroine who refuses to back down - built on found family, ancient mythology, and the belief that real power means standing up for what's right.
