Phoenix 56 (Dystopian/Fantasy YA Novel +Weekly Updates)

"I-I-I DON'T WANNA DIE ALONE."

Three unassuming teens travel in a scorched world being torn apart by young leaders vying for control in the "Heir War"—a conflict that had rid the world of all adults & all history. Sren, a stoic reanimator (or "rebreather") struggling with past trauma, Cypress, a reckless honor-driven teenage boy & his brutally honest ("lovingly sarcastic") younger sister Leah, come across a lakeside village decimated by randomly orchestrated explosions. Upon their journey deeper into the town, they meet a young girl on her knees. . .with a bomb tied to her chest. Cypress in a failed attempt to remove the bomb, dissipates with the girl in a grandiose explosion. Sren & Leah, blown away, rush over & stand over the bodies—only to realize that they are unhurt, unharmed, knocked out yet naked in fetal positions in the explosion's crater.

Almost like nothing happened.

Almost.

Unaware that they had been thrust into the hell of their world.

There were two rules.

RULE ONE: Like the Phoenix, you can reanimate the biological beings by "rebreathing" them from ashes.
RULE TWO: Humans, however, cannot be reanimated.
RULE TWO had been unchallenged. . .up until now.
