Veiled Phoenix: YA

Ember Savita Chronicles, Book 1

By: Huckleberry Rahr

Narrated by: Kassandra Novell

Can a secret be kept? Will friends protect friends? A growing prejudice against non-magic users threatens to destroy the peace forged hundreds of years ago.

Ember attends magic school after years of being homeschooled. Often ridiculed for not being great at magic, they shrug it off. Despite what their classmates think, Ember is confident in their abilities. When a school field trip to find midnight herbs reveals Ember’s secrets to those around them, will it destroy years of trust?

Once Ember’s family learns they’ve been outed, it’s time to run. They’ve always moved on … their secrets and safety are more important than where they live.

Meanwhile, there’s a new movement spreading dissension and speaking of a divide between witches and non-magic users. If they stay, they can help those trying to bridge the gap. It’s an old fight Ember’s parents battled in the past. Can Ember convince their family to stay and resurrect peace from the ashes of fear and hate?

Wonderful story

This was an amazing listen it’s a perfect start to a great series with amazing characters and a great storyline

A Hauntingly Beautiful Tale of Transformation and Strength

Veiled Phoenix is a richly imagined tale of resilience, rebirth, and found strength. Huckleberry Rahr weaves together a dark yet hopeful narrative that dives deep into identity, trauma, and transformation. The writing is lyrical and atmospheric, wrapping you in a world that’s both raw and strangely beautiful. While the pacing slows in a few spots, the emotional depth and character growth kept me invested. I especially loved the symbolism and the haunting beauty of the phoenix metaphor. If you enjoy character-driven fantasy that explores what it means to rise from your ashes, this one’s worth a read
