The Phoenix and the Ant – Out Now
In the kingdom of Djat, Were Magic is forbidden, its mere existence a crime punishable by the highest degree. But when a young girl named Ti discovers her ability to transform into a majestic phoenix, her life takes a drastic and perilous turn. Haunted by the memory of the royal family’s assassination by Were Wizards, Ti’s father, a valiant general in the Djat army, makes a desperate decision to ensure her safety. He sends her to the prestigious Yaudi School, where she can learn to harness her unique powers.
Guided by Captain Arence and his eclectic crew from the Calydronian ship, Tubby Whale, Ti embarks on a treacherous journey across the vast oceans of Ptansia, a shattered continent. Along this perilous path, she crosses paths with Slayer, a gifted Wind Wizard whose immense talent is rivaled only by his ego. Together, Ti, Slayer, and her loyal Animal Partner, Priot—a silver-tipped falcon—confront ancient beasts, unravel hidden magic, and unwittingly become pawns in a kingdom’s insatiable thirst for war.
Ti’s adventure is more than a quest to master her newfound powers; it’s a journey of self-discovery and belonging. In a world where she feels like an outsider, Ti must forge new friendships and navigate the intricate balance between loyalty, identity, and the yearning for a true home. As she faces extraordinary challenges and embraces unforeseen alliances, Ti’s path becomes an enthralling tale that seamlessly weaves magic, adventure, and the timeless pursuit of finding oneself.
