Phoenix Rising

Just a place to allow my thoughts to flow. I will share and promote my book as well. I’m currently in the editing process. 🖤

[wordsofphoenixrising]

Back in May of 2025, I started writing. My life was falling apart at the very seams I used to put it back together. I couldn’t read, I couldn’t focus on school, and I could barely get out of bed. So I wrote. I escaped into this world to help me feel something other than dead. I hope that Seraphina or Zephyr help someone I hope they inspire someone to pick up and try again. Writing brought me such happiness in my darkest moments. I hope to share my experience writing with the world one day.

Intro to Sera! 🖤

She grew up in the hush of Appalachian ridges, where the trees listen and the earth remembers. She carries herself like someone who has lost too much to waste words — steady, observant, a little untouchable. There’s a small brand beneath her collarbone, easy to miss unless you’re looking for it. It doesn’t glow unless she lets it.

Sera isn’t chaos. She’s control.

She loves hard, protects fiercely, and trusts carefully. Grief made her guarded. Power made her dangerous. And somewhere between the two, she learned how to stand her ground without ever raising her voice.

She doesn’t need to prove she’s fire.

You feel it when she walks into the room.

Night Whispers Fire

The mountains knew her before she knew herself.

Seraphina has always carried grief like a second skin — first her mother, then the slow unraveling of everything she once believed was safe. She returns to the Appalachian ridges thinking survival is enough.

The mountains disagree.

When her scream fractures the night and fire answers, Sera learns the truth buried in her blood: she is not simply marked by tragedy. She is marked by something ancient. A force that has burned through bloodlines before. A force powerful men once tried to extinguish.

And someone has been waiting for her to rise.

Ronan stands at her side — disciplined, restrained, watching her like wanting her is a battle he refuses to lose. Zephyr moves like the storm itself, lightning-bright and unpredictable, his loyalty fierce and unwavering. They train her. Guard her. Challenge her.

But neither of them look at her the way Jett does.

Jett steps closer with a smile that feels like temptation wrapped in promise. Like surrender disguised as safety. Like fire daring her to touch it.

Between them lies a fragile line — protection and possession, devotion and desire, truth and betrayal.

Because beneath the smoke and myth, something darker is moving. Patient. Strategic. Calculating. Waiting for Seraphina to claim the power that could save them all… or set the world ablaze.

In these mountains, power does not come without cost.

And fire does not ask who it consumes.

It only asks to be fed.

And Seraphina must decide:

Will she control the flame in her veins?

Or will she let it devour everything — including her heart?

As someone who's been married for almost a decade, I'll never understand the hatred that Violet receives in IF. I've seen her called immature, a toddler, someone who doesn't know what love is. Violet (and Xaden) spent all of IF putting in the necessary work to make their relationship successful. An "I love you" a day will not keep a relationship afloat. There has to be trust, and Violet's trust in Xaden was broken after FW. I understand why Xaden withheld the information of the revolution from her. She understands why. But it doesn't change the fact that her trust in him was broken, and Violet needs trust. She needs information to make a relationship work. Everyone has vital things that they require in a relationship, which is specific to the two people within that relationship. Violet needs the full truth, and she was very up-front with Xaden on that. She didn't force him into a relationship and then forced him to accommodate her standards. She was willing to let him go if he wasn't able to give her what she needed. Xaden chose to accommodate her needs because he found her more precious than his need to keep secrets. That was his choice. A woman should never be villianized for setting standards for her person.

And to say that Violet only loves conditionally or that she doesn't know what love is? If that were the case, then Violet would have broken up with Xaden as soon as he turned venin. She stayed with him and spent all of OS searching for a cure because she loved him unconditionally. Riorgail only survived OS because of the effort they put into their relationship in IF. And it was Violet who pushed them to put in that effort early on.

Saying that Violet should just accept Xaden's "I love you" without any questions is not the way to form a relationship that will last decades. Violet's in it for the long-term, not the short-term.

I'll never understand how a fandom full of women can criticize a woman for setting standards while simultaneously holding the man to no standards whatsoever.

When Xaden introduces Violet as his consort and Tairn asks if congratulations or comiserations are in order... 😂

Poor Tairn is over here trying to figure out how Violet and Sgaeyl are both such powerful, intelligent, and fierce women who both have such excellent taste in dragon men and such terrible taste in human men.

One of the first rules in any confrontation is for attempts to de-escalate. Use of force is last on the list.

That is, if one is interested in resolution.
