Phoenix Rising

Sixteen year old Maggie Henning lives with her mother and has spent the previous ten years of her life wearing a label- daughter of the murderer John Henning. Her father resides at Sunnybrook Psychiatric Hospital, having been convicted of killing eight people inside of a local church, burning them alive. Maggie’s world begins to change after finding a letter addressed to her from the psychiatric hospital that offers an ominous warning. The stage is set after a visit to her see her father, normally in a fairly catatonic state, comes aware, giving Maggie the same warning as the letter she received. Creatures, called “revenants” want Maggie’s blood.

Maggie’s mother is NOT what she seemed to be and after she’s attacked, a mystery guy, named Michel, arrives and rescues Maggie from one of these creatures and takes her to a safe house called "The Trust."

Maggie, aided by a man named Liam and the rest of The Trust, learns what she really is- the last of a race of beings called “Phoenixes”, creatures who have the ability to call fire and use it as they wish.

The revenants, led by a creature named Ossa, will stop at nothing to get Maggie; needing her blood to bring them to full power.
Maggie must not only come to believe in all that she has heard, including that she’s one of these mythical creatures from stories, but also learn how to wield her power to face the creatures that would destroy both worlds Maggie has come to know of. While doing this, Maggie builds friendships she’s never had, must rise above her own self doubt, and quite possibly learn what it means to fall in love.
