Phoenix: A Black City Novel

In the second installment of the dystopian Black City trilogy, Ash Fisher’s blissful life is upended when a menacing figure delivers a life-altering ultimatum.

“Exciting and compelling plot . . . will have readers quickly turning pages. This reviewer will no doubt be back to see where the tale goes next.”—VOYA

Ash believes his troubles are far behind him. He and Natalie are engaged and life seems good. But his happiness is short-lived when he receives a threatening visit from Purian Rose, who gives Ash an ultimatum: vote in favor of Rose’s Law—a law that will send Darklings and other dissenters to a deadly concentration camp—or Natalie will be killed.

At first the decision is clear, but can Ash really risk the lives of millions of Darklings to save the one he loves?
