About the Phoenix Rising Series
Elissa's Quest: The First Adventure
Meet Elissa, a 13-year-old girl living a quiet life with her caretaker, Nana. She lives in a peaceful valley but dreams of adventure. Elissa has a special secret: she can talk to animals! This amazing power is something she must keep hidden from everyone.
Elissa doesn't know much about her parents. Her mother passed away, and Nana won't tell her who her father is. One day, a mysterious visitor arrives and offers Elissa a chance to leave her boring town. She eagerly accepts and travels to a new kingdom.
But danger quickly surrounds Elissa. She hears whispers about an old prophecy, the "Prophecy of the Phoenix." People believe she might be the one to fulfill it. Elissa must use all her courage and her unique abilities to stay safe and uncover the truth about her past.
Elissa's Odyssey: A Journey of Discovery
In the second book, Elissa learns the true identity of her father. This discovery brings even more challenges! She gets separated from her loyal friends, Maya and Gertrude the donkey. Elissa also has to keep running from the evil Khan, who is always trying to capture her.
As her adventure continues, Elissa's powers grow stronger. Now, she can talk to plants as well as animals! This new ability seems to be a big part of the Prophecy of the Phoenix. Elissa must learn to control her changing powers while trying to find her friends and escape danger. Her journey becomes a true test of her strength and spirit.
World's End: The Princess's Challenge
Elissa is now a princess, which sounds like a dream come true! But for Elissa, it's far from easy. She has to learn how to act and look like a royal. Even worse, she's expected to leave her old friends behind, as they are not considered suitable company for a princess.
To make things even harder, Elissa is told she must marry an older man she doesn't love. This is a very difficult decision for her. However, the Prophecy of the Phoenix isn't finished with Elissa yet. She feels drawn closer and closer to its final moments. Elissa must decide if she will follow the path laid out for her or forge her own destiny to fulfill the prophecy on her own terms.
