The Phoenix Rising Trilogy

Vivian Carmine always knew she was different. She just didn't know she was a phoenix. When her powers ignite at the worst possible moment, her parents reveal a world of hidden myth and folklore — then vanish before they can explain anything else. Following the only lead she has, Vivian lands at RISE — a secret academy in Seattle where demigods, fairies, and fabled creatures train to blend into the human world. But spy school has its own rules, its own dangers, and its own secrets. And not everyone there wants her to find her parents.

Vivian Carmine never asked to be a hero—and she definitely didn't mean to make the war between gods and mortals worse. But when Poseidon begins hunting for the powerful relic lost at the bottom of the ocean, Vivian may be the only one who can stop him. If he gets to it first, the seas will rise and the world will flood. With time running out, Vivian and her closest allies team up with a rogue band of rebel mermaids on a mission spanning the neon-lit streets of Tokyo to the darkest trenches of the ocean.

Vivian Carmine thought she knew the rules of RISE — until its leaders betray the magical creatures they've sworn to protect. Now she must act, or watch everything she loves disappear. From the frozen tundras of Russia to the shadowy streets of Seattle, Vivian and her loyal friends embark on a daring mission to stop a war that could shatter the magical world. With gods rising, fae caught in the crossfire, and betrayal lurking in every shadow, she must decide who to trust — and how far she's willing to go to protect the people she loves.
