Rise of the Phoenix (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781077865976)

We are all pawns in the games the gods play...

When a prophecy brings a priestess to his humble home, Arme must abandon his tranquil existence to become the nation's only hope, a celestial warrior tasked with protecting an unborn child carrying an even heavier burden than he.

Whispers of invaders threaten the safety of all, testing the bonds of love and the limits of honor, bringing forth the long-forgotten might of the heavens back into the world of mortals. As the flames incinerate all in their path, divided nations and broken families must band together to save the innocent and rise from the ashes of war.

The first in the "A Tale of Hayara" trilogy, this historical fantasy fiction transports readers into a reimagined Bronze Age Armenia, immersing one in the true traditions, legends, and myths of the region, morphed and combined to create a piece of literature unseen in this genre before. It is the debut novel by Canadian-Armenian author T. Isajanyan and takes us to a time of ancient gods, celestial warriors, and immortal beasts.

"If you like descriptions, this is the book for you! I felt like there were a lot of descriptions compared to the other books coming out nowadays. The descriptions helped me visualize the world better and feel more immersed." - Goodreads Reviewer

"... I will say that it is a must-read for anyone who followed the works of Ursula K. Le Guin or Tad Williams, or anyone who loved the Game of Thrones." - Goodreads Reviewer

Book 1 sets the stage with Rise of the Phoenix, while Book 2 will take us on a journey to see the birth of the gods that take over the later pantheon in a power struggle to regain what Book 1 ripped away with force. Child of the Phoenix sees innocence lost and characters finding themselves before Book 3 offers a little bit of everything for everyone, ripping away the masks and allowing for love to reign once again.
