Phoenix Knight
The Lost Son
Power isn’t given. It’s Survived
Phoenix Knight was content to stay invisible—a history student with a quiet mind, a sculpted body he barely believes is his, and a past he refuses to unpack. But when his mother disappears without a trace, Phoenix uncovers a secret buried beneath the oldest building on campus: a forgotten order, a hidden chamber, and a truth that could rewrite everything he thought he knew about himself—and the world around him.
Drawn into an underground world of myth, memory, and power, Phoenix must confront the haunting legacy of who he is… and who he was never supposed to become.
With the help of Evelyn Ramses—a brilliant scholar from his past—and Lucas, a roommate with secrets of his own, Phoenix unravels a conspiracy centuries in the making. But not everyone wants the truth remembered. And some truths are written in blood.
A soul-deep, myth-infused coming-of-age novel, Phoenix Knight: The Lost Son is perfect for fans of The Secret History, Ninth House, and The Poppy War. For readers who believe fantasy should bruise, burn, and linger.
A Voice From Within
I wasn’t meant to be anyone’s savior.
The world already had its legends, its councils, its chosen heirs. I was just a son — of scholars, of silence, of a family whose blood carried more than I ever asked for. My mother taught me history; my father taught me to question. But neither prepared me for what it meant to carry a name that was never mine alone.
They thought I would kneel. That I would bend to fate, to power, to the shape others tried to carve into me. But truth doesn’t kneel. It cuts. It sears. It makes demands that break bone and memory alike.
I’ve been called an heir, a prisoner, a myth. I’ve been told I am both weapon and weakness. But when the dust settles, when the lies collapse, when the Council whispers my name like a curse or a prayer — I am only what I decide to be.
And I will not be lost.
