Chapter 2 Book Cover

Phoenix thought getting to Utonia was the hard part. He was wrong.

​

After barely surviving the trip that shattered his life, Phoenix is no longer just the kid from the back of the classroom. He’s a King in exile, and the "Soft" sanctuary of the Land of Water is starting to feel a lot more like a prison. The throne is still in his uncle’s blood-stained hands, and the cost of the journey is starting to add up.

The world of dark magic hasn't just changed the game — it’s broken his friends. Billy, the serious son of an army sergeant who always played by the rules, has been twisted into a blood-thirsty siren. It’s a living nightmare, and Phoenix is the only one who can lead them through it.

​

But the real horror is watching from the shadows. After a chilling glimpse in a mirror, Phoenix knows he’s being hunted. An ancient, predatory beast called the Amarok has set its sights on him, and it’s only a matter of time before it closes in for the kill.

With Mike and Leon at his side, Phoenix has to stop running and start hunting. He’s heading into a Stygian void to confront the creature on his own terms before it’s too late. Meanwhile, Gabby is on a race against time, carrying a legendary sword and a secret that could change everything: Phoenix’s mother is still alive, trapped in a world of mirrors.

​

The clock is ticking, the beast is waiting, and the lost Prince is about to find out that the only way to save his future is to face the monster from his past.
