PHOENIX – Book One: Beneath the Wall

Seventy thousand years ago, Ellandra Ashar died in the fires of Ka Loren and rose again as one of the immortal Queens of the Haillar Dominion.

Now she stands watch on Aldeea, a cold frontier world on the edge of a millennia-old war. Beyond the Wall, an ancient enemy known only as the Scourge presses relentlessly against the Dominion's outer realms, corrupting worlds faster than fleets can reclaim them.

Aldeea was never meant to matter.

It was simply next in line.

Far across the void, the human exploration vessel Endeavour arrives in the Kepler system, believing it may have discovered the key to humanity's future. What begins as a scientific survey becomes something far stranger when the crew realises the habitable world below is neither empty nor primitive.

Its people have cities.

History.

Power.

And they have been watching the stars for a very long time.

As first contact unfolds beneath the shadow of a coming war, two civilizations must decide whether their meeting is mere chance… or the culmination of forces set in motion tens of thousands of years before either knew the other existed.

PHOENIX: Beneath the Wall is an epic science-fantasy serial about first contact, immortality, and what happens when humanity encounters a civilization seventy thousand years older than its own.
