Fantasy Spotlight – Phoenix Rising by Ephie & Celia Risho
Synopsis
When a flying creature suddenly sets fire to their home, the villagers scramble to help. But for Amber, a twelve-year old daydreamer, it’s just the beginning. At the urging of the mischievous pixies, she decides to risk everything in search for answers. If it really was the normally-friendly phoenix who started the fire, why would it do that?
She sets out armed only with a bit of advice and her archery skills, only to find there’s far more going on than her sleepy village can handle. Evil wizards and their sinister plot begin to unfold before her the further she travels. What started out as a seemingly simple task quickly reveals a far greater challenge facing the entire kingdom. And time is running short. If she can’t figure it out soon enough, the entire coast will burn.
An epic coming-of-age fantasy adventure for young and old readers alike!
