This novel takes place in Peradon, a land that consists of
four realms. The Frost, Air, Earth, and Flame. Violetta lost her mother and
brother in a tragic accident, leaving her and her father, the King, in despair.
Her 15th birthday seems to sneak up on the young princess and before
she knows it, her father announces she is to seek out a potential husband. Her
father expects her to pick any young suitor other than the son of the cruel, deceased
Frost Emperor, Ryore. The young emperor has however set his sights on the
Princess. When a party invitation arrives for Violetta, the King’s expectations
and reputation is put at risk. The realms carry many secrets but dark accusations
arise. Could it be possible that
Violetta’s mother and brother didn’t just die in a freak accident but were
targeted?
Phoenix is the kind of novel that by the end of it, you’re wishing
for a second installment. Character depth and a great plot is something Buchelli
did a fantastic job at. In the first chapter or so I found it hard to follow
because I wasn’t sure what the setting was but by the end of the second chapter
I was hooked. This is a ride you definitely want to get in on and experience
for yourself.
Until Next Time...
