Seraphine is as relentless as her radiance. She is reeling with delight from the recent success of finding the City of the Sun with Felix, her unlikely counterpart turned confidant. Convinced enough by her persistence and the hatching of his new Phoenix, Felix has dismissed his initial doubts to join her quest without complaint. Though as impossible as it had seemed, the two have peacefully united in their shared ambition to locate the remaining Sanctuary Phoenixes. But underneath the surface of their newfound friendship, a deeper intricacy is surging within both Seraphine and Felix. As they grapple with the sudden twists their relationship takes, the secrets and struggles Felix longs to keep to himself begin unravelling at the seams.

Compiled with the vibrant and stressing nature of their next adventures, he finds himself drowning in his own burdens – and Seraphine is not remiss to the changes she notices in both him and herself. Now in vastly uncharted waters, Seraphine must balance the immensity of their mystic expeditions with the weight under which Felix is consciously being crushed. And while magic has made many things possible, she soon learns it cannot solve everything – especially a problem that isn’t her own.

Ignited with a tasteful passion and layered with pensive vulnerability, The Phoenix Keeper and the Fiery Waters is the riveting second book in The Phoenix Keeper series.
