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


Vivian Carmine was just trying to survive high school—until she accidentally set her school gym on fire.


At RISE, a secret spy academy for demi-gods and magical misfits, Vivian is thrust into a world of espionage, buried secrets, and dangerous enemies. With her parents missing, she must master her abilities, navigate shifting loyalties, and uncover the truth before everything she loves is taken from her.


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 narrator, Erin Chmela. A passionate puppeteer and voice actress, Erin brings every character to life with humor, heart, and the spark of a true storyteller.


Packed with high-stakes action, spy school tension, mythical creatures, and a brave heroine who refuses to back down, The Phoenix Rising Trilogy is perfect for readers who love fast-paced fantasy adventures, secret academies, found family, and magical worlds waiting to be discovered.
