The Phoenix Rising Trilogy: The Complete Boxed Set, Books 1-3

2025 Bronze Medalist for "Best Series" in the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards

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

When Vivian Carmine accidentally sets her school gym on fire, she uncovers a truth that turns her world upside down: she’s a phoenix. And fire? It’s only the beginning.

Arriving at RISE, a secret spy academy for demi-gods and magical misfits, Vivian is swept into a high-stakes world of magical espionage, lost secrets, and powerful enemies. With her parents missing, Vivian must master her abilities, navigate shifting loyalties, and uncover the truth—before everything she cares about goes up in flames.

From the neon-lit streets of Tokyo, to the darkest trenches of the sea, and onto the frozen gates of Olympus, Vivian’s journey spans more than miles. She’ll face tyrant gods, underwater resistance fighters, and betrayals from those she thought were allies—all while discovering who she really is, and what she’s willing to fight for.

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. A dangerous underwater mission to stop a global flood Into Ashes • : A war for freedom. A battle for truth. A final stand against those who would control the magical world.

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

The Phoenix Rising Trilogy is perfect for ages 11–15 and fans of fast-paced fantasy adventures, secret schools, mythical creatures, brave girls, and stories where magic can be found everywhere.
