Ruby is part fire nymph and part Phoenix. She has spent most of her life on the run from Queen Titania, who wants to control her and the power she will possess. But if she can't have her, Titania wants Ruby dead. As a young girl, Ruby becomes the ward of King Oberon and later joins his fairy court. As a young adult, she runs the store and sanctuary for Fae or for humans in trouble from other Fae, the same store that her grandmother had run on the human side. Though Ruby is safer living among humans, threats on her life are still imminent. As the time draws near for Ruby to gain her Phoenix powers, a strong supernatural threat is released. The key to stopping it lies in the hands of someone from her mother's past. Rise of the Phoenix is a soaring fantasy that takes wing using names made famous in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Shakespeare would be proud of this fairy adventure. First-time author Shannon M. Roland lives in Lubbock, Texas. She recently received her master's in library and information sciences.
