About this listen
Can Mara survive in a world where the fire in her veins is worth killing for?
In a frozen wasteland suffocating beneath a dying sun, Mara is a young phoenix raised by her father to explode at his command. He’s the only one who can help her control her fire, and Mara desperately follows his orders to protect their phoenix family from relentless human hunters.
Her sheltered existence is shattered when her family mysteriously vanishes, thrusting Mara into a perilous quest to find them. Along the way, she unravels a devastating truth: her people may not be the innocent victims she's been taught to believe.
When she comes face-to-face with the kindhearted Eli, she begins to wonder if the humans aren’t the monsters she's always feared. What if the greatest danger doesn’t lie in the icy world outside—but in the truth of who Mara really is?
Fire and ice collide in this thrilling tale of a phoenix girl born with the power of a dying sun.

Unique
This book exceeded my expectations in a very good way. I was already extremely interested in it based on the description and cover, but the story did not go in any shape or form the way I expected. And that could not have been better for the story. Kara Swanson took this mythical creature and enhanced it in truly brilliant ways. I cannot imagine how someone reimagine an already amazing creature in such a unique way. The story was very unexpected, and no one will ever be able to predict it. This is the first five star read I have had in a long time. Thank you for creating such a perfectly clean read! Looking forward to the conclusion to this duology.

Finding who you are!
This was a very intriguing story. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect but love the character development, the creation of such a vividly real realm, and the plot of the story is uniquely portrayed. It’s beautiful and painful. I am looking forward to a sequel.
