As a group home kid, Sara never expects to be part of a family, much less have a different name, meet a unicorn or wake up one day with magical powers. But that’s exactly what happens when she turns fifteen. After that, life gets a little more crazy and a lot more dangerous.
Taking her rightful place as Sapphire, the Jewel of Akasha, she and the other Children of Fire must learn to use their gifts to save other magical creatures from the evil Sons of Belial. But if they are caught, their powers won’t be the only thing they’ll lose.
This box set includes Books 1 - 3 of the Children of Fire Series.
Phoenix Child:
There should be a law, a Universal Rule, as to how much weirdness can happen to a person.
Fifteen-year-old Sara is just another group home kid. She’s given up on being part of a family and has planned out her life as a child of the system. Then she wakes on her fifteenth birthday with ruby red streaks through her now midnight black hair, and strange powers she did not know she possessed.
Enrolling in classes at the San Francisco Center for the Circus Arts, she meets strangers with frightening powers who say they are family, with a four thousand year old god as a common ancestor.
As Sara struggles with powers that overwhelm her, she must decide whether to turn her back on this new life or embrace her identity as Sapphire the Phoenix Child. The lives of hundreds of magical creatures rest on her decision.
Sometimes great things are thrust upon a girl. Sara wishes hers didn’t include a new name, unicorns, and fire.
Legacy of the Feathered Serpent:
First an ancient Phoenix King and Queen and now a sleeping Mayan god, could Sapphire’s life get any weirder?
Sapphire -15 years old, strong, intelligent, and with newly acquired Phoenix powers. She travels through South America, with her recently-discovered family. Performing with Cirque de Feu Magique as a cover, the Children of Fire respond to the need of magical creatures to return home to Akasha.
Powerful beings take a dangerous interest in the creatures they are called to save. The challenges of growing leadership and conflict with a Mayan god force Sapphire to realize she’s stronger than she thought.
Heirs of Avalon:
Christmas lights and her sixteenth birthday brighten Sapphire’s days. Her London nights are warmed by the attentions of Ramsey, a kilt-wearing selkie with a smile that promises both fun and trouble.
She is growing into the role of leader of the Children of Fire. But her closeness with Ramsey and choice to withhold information causes distrust within her family. Their weakened bond allows a new evil to grow, unrecognized, around them.
Horrified by the consequences her decisions have on the people she loves, Sapphire has to choose between her own happiness and her responsibilities as the Jewel of Akasha.
