Drowning The Flames: The Phoenix Rising Trilogy, Book 2

A lost key. An ocean king. A girl caught between magic and destiny.

Vivian is still trying to find her place in a world of myth and magic. After uncovering her parents' secrets, she’s unsure whether she wants to be part of the wild life they've hidden from her. Unfortunately, the people at RISE have other plans.

A new threat has emerged: Poseidon, the King of the Ocean, is searching for a powerful key. Since Vivian is the one who lost it, she must find it before the power-hungry water king can flood the earth.

With the help of her friends and a few rebellious mermaids, Vivian will travel from the streets of Tokyo to the darkest depths of the ocean. Can she outsmart Poseidon, aid the mermaid resistance, and keep the key from falling into the wrong hands?

With high stakes, mythic magic, and unexpected alliances, Drowning the Flames is a thrilling race against time. A dangerous chase, rising tension, and a growing romance unfold as Vivian discovers that sometimes to protect the world, she must first believe in herself.

With the clock ticking, Vivian must fight for the key—and the future of a world she’s only beginning to understand.

If you love high-stakes adventure, mythological intrigue, and a fierce heroine who won’t back down, Drowning the Flames is your next must-read! Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, The Atlantis Grail, and The Storm Runner!
