First Spark: Phoena’s Quest Book 1

Here is the blurb:

The quest begins with a first spark. It flares in isolation, untended and unknown. Too late, the darkness tries to smother it…

The Westernbrooke Academy for Young Noblemen is the only home Phoena has known. An orphaned servant without a past, lacking magical talent and protections, the teenager is often the target of student trickery. After years of torment, she longs for invisibility.

Lord Karilion, the Academy’s best student, has beaten all challengers. The wealthy heir is also a champion swordsman. Viscount Baraapa, secure in second place, has no magic – but his scientific mastery gives him an unexpected advantage. The foreigner, Lord Oramis, threatens the balance when he refuses to be tested. What is the Emberite Ambassador’s son hiding?

The quest selects its champions: a servant girl, and three noblemen who think winning her loyalty is a game.

And there’s a dragon in the back garden…

Second Flame: Phoena’s Quest Book 2

Here is the blurb:

The quest is almost complete, yet the mysterious flames remain hidden. Darkness awakens…

Phoena’s servant life is over. No more scrubbing floors and picking up after spoilt young noblemen. Goodbye to being the target for their experimental magic. She is determined to enjoy her freedom, but will fourteen years’ service be the right preparation for the all-girls college she is to attend?

That should be the least of her concerns: there is another champion be found. Phoena hopes the selection process will be uncomplicated. But a chance encounter with Lady Nessandra, the most eccentric student at the college, threatens everything. Nessie’s rash decisions activate Phoena’s magical talent in new ways, and the outcome is unexpected.

What will become of this quest if Phoena cannot control her awakening power? Read on to find out if Phoena will survive the coming adventure.

The release date for the paperback is August 10, 2021. The eBook is already available.
