Synopsis

A bullet-riddled train staggers into a Chinese station in 1920, and Lucy discovers that her father, a Russian officer, has been kidnapped. A mysterious feather guides her into a dangerous realm of magic and monsters to rescue him. But she knows she can’t take on the quest alone. With her friend Su, a girl as quick with words as with her fists, the two uncover the terrifying truth: a notorious warlord has seized Lucy’s father. Worse, he is about to invade their city. The friends brave the criminal underworld, cross a haunted forest, and outsmart creatures they thought lived only in fairytales. But will their wits and bravery be enough to beat the warlord’s army of human soldiers and magical beasts?

Soar into a grand adventure, a world of Chinese and Slavic myths … into the world of The Phoenix and the Firebird.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Trained as an anthropologist and now an international teacher, Alexis Kossiakoff is fascinated by the meeting of cultures. Alexis' research into the history of her family, who escaped from revolution and war in Russia to China, inspired the writing of The Phoenix and the Firebird.

Scott grew up in Japan and studied at a Chinese university. He is the author of the novel Silk Road Centurion ("compulsive reading due to its many colorful characters and twisting plot points" - Taipei Times), a history book on ancient China ("a fast-moving, readable narrative" - Asian Review of Books), and numerous fantasy, adventure, and mystery short stories. He's also an award-winning poet. Scott and Alexis live in Japan with their daughter.
