IRONWAKE Launches the Legacy Edition of Phoenix Knight: The Lost Son by James Ungurait
Hattiesburg, Mississippi — October 2025 — IRONWAKE, the fantasy imprint of Ungurait House LLC, proudly announces the release of Phoenix Knight: The Lost Son (Legacy Edition), a sweeping re-envisioning of James Ungurait’s acclaimed debut novel. The new edition arrives in both hardcover and trade paperback, featuring a fully revised manuscript, new chapter illustrations, and immersive visual design.
At once mythic and intimate, Phoenix Knight: The Lost Son follows Phoenix Knight, a quiet university student whose mother’s mysterious disappearance pulls him into a hidden world beneath the University of Mississippi. What begins as a search for answers becomes a descent through legacy, grief, and revelation—where intellect, myth, and memory collide.
This Legacy Edition deepens the emotional and philosophical scope of the original 2022 novel, expanding its mythos and redefining its tone for a new literary-fantasy era. The result is a work that blends Southern Gothic atmosphere with the haunting introspection of dark academia and the spiritual tension of mythic realism.
The edition anchors IRONWAKE’s mission to forge a new kind of fantasy—one built on endurance, craftsmanship, and human truth.
“This book began as a question about what survives us,” Ungurait said. “The Legacy Edition finally answers that—it’s the story I always meant to write.”
Phoenix Knight: The Lost Son (Legacy Edition) is available now in hardcover, and eBook through major retailers and independent bookstores worldwide.
