Publisher's Synopsis
Maggie Henning has spent the last ten of her 16 years surrounded by the reminders of her father's crime, but never knowing the truth. 1 letter. 1 last visit. 1 night, and Maggie's world changes forever. She is the last of an ancient race of protectors to a world filled with the creatures of myths, legends, and nightmares. She is the last of The Phoenix- a being that can not only control fire, but can summon it from within themselves. Maggie's destiny is predetermined- she must protect this parallel world known simply as The Realm from an army of revenants: living skeletons; and their leader, Ossa, bent of total domination. To aid her are new, unlikely friends: beings of The Realm who she thought only to exist in the pages of fiction, and with abilities of their own. Maggie must learn to not only accept her new found lineage, but to control this great power she has inside her if she is to assist in saving this world she's now a part of. And time is not her ally.
