Phoenix Soul

To the world, Elara is a frail maid fighting for every breath. To the High Commander, she is a weapon waiting to be forged.

Elara is a servant in a castle of warriors, her life defined by the asthma that leaves her gasping for air. Her only escape is the spirit realm: a place she visits unknowingly when her body fails her. But when a High Commander witnesses her spirit-walk, he offers something that could only be a death sentence: Join a deadly expedition to claim the power and title of Phoenix Soul, or have her soul drawn from her body to feed the lands where the Phoenix reside.

Thrown into an arena with twenty-four elite killers, Elara is the ultimate underdog. Yet, as the trials begin, something dormant wakes within her blood. Not the fire promised by the Phoenix, but a biting, forbidden frost thought wiped from this world.

Amidst the chaos of wild magic and ferocious beasts, Elara catches the eye of Enzo. As the mysterious fifth Phoenix Soul, Enzo is dangerous, alluring, and harbouring dark secrets about Elara's potential. But while Enzo plots her future, the past is coming for her. The Phoenix are not mindless beasts; they are ancient, they are vengeful, and they despise Elara beyond her understanding.
