Title: Dark Phoenix
Author: Elise Faber
Series: Phoenix
Genre: Paranormal/New Adult
Publisher: Blue Tulip Publishing
From the author of Phoenix Rising, comes
the second novel in the Phoenix Series. A tale of darkness, love, and mortal
enemies...
Black magic. Immoral monsters. Death. And
bone-deep, soul-to-soul love with a green-eyed man hell-bent on owning every
part of her heart.
Daughtry’s life changed forever when she
bonded with Cody and began to control her visions. Yet as she masters her
magic, those very same abilities threaten to harm the people she holds most
dear.
When an opportunity arises for her to fix a
past wrong, does she dare risk using her magic in order to set things right
again?
A soul sweeping darkness is lurking at the
Colony, making the choice for her and threatening the world she’s built for
herself. But Daughtry soon discovers that if she’s to have the future and love
she’s always wanted, she must fight for it.

Quote: “Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the
mind on the present moment.” –Buddha
The Rengalla
Descended from magical beings that could
control the elements, the Rengalla appear human but are more. Besides their
magical abilities, they live on average a millennium and a half, are rarely
sick, and heal rapidly.
The LexTals
An elite group of warriors whose purpose is
to protect the Rengalla from the Dalshie. The current LexTals are: Dante, Cody,
John, Morgan, Mason, Monroe, Tyler and two new recruits whose names the rest of
them haven’t bothered to learn yet (the training is excruciating and the fail
rate is high).
The Dalshie
“Turned” Rengalla who’ve been corrupted by
their magic — who’ve used their powers to hurt others. As the infected magic
invades their mind and soul, a stain spreads over their body, starting from
their palms and spreading up their arms. Once the taint reaches the heart and
brain, every trace of the former Rengalla is lost, leaving only a cruel,
inhuman monster in its wake.
Recognize these evil creatures from their
stained palms. They can glamour most of the taint of the black magic, but
cannot hide the infection on the center of their hands. They also heal
instantly, have red eyes (when their glamour fails), and can only be killed —
ashed — via decapitation or a direct strike to their heart.
Magic of the
Rengalla
Primary or elemental
involves controlling individual elements — fire, air, water, and earth
Secondary is combining
2 or more elements into another power, e.g. healing or teleportation
Tertiary is the
capacity of foresight (involves any ability to see the future whether it
involves a specific person or the entire world) — those with this power are
most at risk of turning Dalshie
Magic of the
Dalshie
Once they’ve begun to turn, the Dalshie can
no longer manipulate the elements. They retain magic, but it turns black and it
can only hurt — burn, maim, destroy.
The Colony
Located on the border of Kentucky and
Tennessee, this hidden building is the home of the majority of the Rengalla.
It’s tucked in a stretch of rarely occupied National Forest and is glamoured to
appear like an ugly old warehouse in order to keep the humans away. It’s also
protected by a shield that prevents the Dalshie from getting in an attacking
the Rengalla.

An Interview with Cody
What’s your favorite
color?
C: I’m partial to violet.
Blonde or
Brunette?
C: I happen to prefer girls with mahogany
hair and porcelain skin.
How do you feel about
Daughtry?
C: *rolls his eyes* What do you mean, ‘How
do I feel about Daughtry?’” That’s the stupidest question I’ve ever heard. I
love that woman; need her more than I need air to breath. She’s my other half,
sewn so deeply into my soul that she can never be excised.
Favorite TV
show?
C: I only watch movies. And no, I won’t
tell you my favorite one of those.
What’s your biggest
regret?
C: Being so focused on the past hurts and
fears that I missed out on the today. I was lucky enough to get a second chance
and I won’t squander it.
Do you believe in love at
first sight?
C: Yes… And no.
Despite moonlighting as a zookeeper and
then a dog trainer, Elise decided that the only mammals she wanted to work with
were her dark and sexy heroes and heroines. She inherited her love of reading
from her mother and grandmother who dutifully kept stacks of romances where her
teenaged fingers could easily pilfer them. She lives in Northern California
with her three dogs, two energetic (read crazy) boys, and her awesome (see
prior comment) husband.
