Publisher's Summary
Filled with magic, adventure, and mythology pulled deep from Russian and Finish folklore, Cry of the Firebird is a dark fantasy that dives deep into the world of magic, pitting those who would abuse it against those sworn to protect it. Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman.
A firebird is reborn on the borders of Russia, a gate to a world of monsters and magic is breaking, and only a reluctant, untrained shaman stands in the way of a flood of supernatural darkness....
Anya is still reeling from the death of her grandfather when a strange encounter with the Finnish God of the Dead changes her life forever: Her family has been guarding the gates to the Russian otherworld on their farm for centuries, and she’s the new gatekeeper. Worse, if she doesn’t awaken her magical abilities and assume her new role, the gate will break, unleashing a flood of monsters and dark gods into their world.
As Anya struggles to make sense of her changing world, she can’t deny the strange encounters. She’ll need to accept her fate and work with the legendary firebird if she hopes to survive - and protect humanity.

Cry of the Firebird
I have read this book and couldn’t put it down. I was very excited to find it on audible and be able to listen to it again. It was just as great second time around, with me picking up so much more in the detail; although this narrator wasn’t as good as the narrator of The Immortal City, and grated on me by the end, so I was a little disappointed in the performance - being set in Russia it would have been good for the narrator to have had the accents of the characters I always imagined and used in my head when I read the book/s. But if you like magic, phoenixes/firebirds, monsters, shaman, ancient lore, runes, auras, fortune telling, all things mystical, and a touch of romance, then this is the book for you. I enjoy the range of characters in the story, and the glimpse into their pasts as the chapters unfold. This author is very talented and has the knack of keeping the reader interested and thirsting for more. I’ve read just about all the books she’s written and I have loved them all equally. I look forward to the audible release of the next book in the firebird series. Great work, Amy! MTM
