Disabled and rejected in her community, Sersha has never had a best friend. Until one day, a phoenix enters her world, tied to her heart in a way no one can break. Now, this great fiery beast has adopted her as his best friend and he wants to take her away from the world she’s known until now. But Sersha’s village is in trouble and unless she can learn to work with her phoenix friend right now, they might both lose the future they were counting on. Will Sersha’s big heart be enough to forge a bond between them?

Caught in the middle of a coup attempt, a vicious war on phoenixes, and a curse brought down on them by an ancient octopus religion, Sersha and Kazmerev must dig deep to find ways to save their friends and their world. But when they are pushed to the very limits both physically and in their friendship, will they have what it takes to keep on fighting for hope, or will they fall into despair?

With the pain of loss still fresh in their minds, Sersha and Kazmerev flee the elven underworld with all that remains of their new allies.
