Phoenix Ascending Series: Book 1
I used to be a soldier, but that life ended the day I punched my superior officer in the face. Since then, I’ve been scraping by as a martial arts instructor by day and a bounty hunter by night, chasing down supernatural criminals in Mistport's darkest corners. It’s dirty work, but it keeps me distracted from the one thing I can’t escape: this fire inside me. Literally.
I’ve been able to make fire for as long as I can remember, but I can’t control it. Then I meet Zayd. My latest bounty... and a vampire who knows too much about me and my power. He says my fire isn’t just some freak accident—it’s the key to a deadly ritual. One that will destroy everything if the wrong people get their hands on it. On me.
Now I’ve got a choice: trust Zayd and face whatever’s coming or go it alone and let my powers consume me.
The world’s about to burn.
And I might be the one to light the match.
About Annisa
I'm an Indonesian-Australian author who dreams up stories about fantastical worlds while having epic romances and exciting adventures. Growing up in various Asian countries, I like to mix Asian and Western mythology together, just like how I'm a mix of both.
I've won and finalled in multiple awards with Romance Writers of Australia and am currently working on a fun and fast-paced urban fantasy with a healthy dose of romance, due out in June 2025.
