The Phoenix and the Spider by Benny Charles
A dark-winged beacon of hopeand a monstrous purveyor of death.The Phoenix and the Spider have haunted Theo's dreams for as long as she can remember. One evokes a feeling of warm comfort, the other unbridled fear. Yet their presence in her otherwise unremarkable existence remains a mystery.
Hidden in these visions lie the secrets of a past that spans countless lifetimes, each one filled with love, death, and untold power waiting to be reawakened. If Theo doesn't unravel the truth soon though, she will be doomed to the same cruel fate that has followed her for millennia.
