As head phoenix keeper at a world-renowned zoo for magical
creatures, Aila's childhood dream of conserving critically
endangered firebirds seems closer than ever. There's just one
glaring caveat: her zoo's breeding program hasn't functioned for a
decade. When a tragic phoenix heist sabotages the flagship
initiative at a neighbouring zoo, Aila must prove her derelict
facilities are fit to take the reins. But saving an entire species
from extinction requires more than stellar animal handling skills.
Carnivorous water horses, tempestuous thunderhawks, mischievous
dragons... Aila has no problem wrangling beasts. Inspiring zoo
patrons? That's another story. Mustering the courage to ask for
help from the hotshot griffin keeper at the zoo's most popular
exhibit? Virtually impossible. Especially when the hotshot griffin
keeper in question just so happens to be her arch-rival from
college: Luciana, an annoyingly brooding and even more annoyingly
insufferable know-it-all with the grace of a goblin and the face of
a goddess who's convinced that Aila's beloved phoenix would serve
their cause better as an active performer rather than as a passive
conservation exhibit. With the world watching and the threat of
poachers looming, Aila's success is no longer merely a matter of
keeping her job... She is the keeper of the phoenix, and the future
of a species now rests on her shoulders. There's just one thing she
has to remember: she is also not alone. Against an epic fantasy
backdrop teeming with all your favourite mythical beasts from
dragons and unicorns to kelpies and krakens, The Phoenix Keeper
combines the fierce joy of cozy fantasy kings TJ Klune and Travis
Baldree with the soul-restoring romance of queer icons Alice Oseman
and Casey McQuiston.
