PHOENIXA: THE NEST
A Mystical Quest for the Cheng Legacy
A Novel
Book One of the PHOENIXA Saga: A Mystical Quest for Peace
by J.J. Cheng
Phoenixa, rising from the ashes of her ancestors, the six-and-a-half-year-old kite-flying, Phoenix-riding Chinese girl, embarks on a mystical journey into China's tumultuous past in search of her Renaissance Grandpa, who read to her from the Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas) while seeking cures for human greed.
From the interior of a traditional Beijing courtyard to the tip-top of a giant Wu Tong Tree, Phoenixa finds her nest shifting from safety to danger. Fortunately, the enduring and incandescent Feng Huang-the Phoenix-keeps her amused and protected as a secret guardian against a relentless, hidden Red force determined to strip her home bare.
Written in the genre-defining style now called "mystical realism," Cheng taps into the subconscious and beyond in search of human goodness. Her debut novel is stunningly visual, fantastical, dreamlike, yet achingly real, demystifying China while offering a luminous insider's view of why and how the dragon roared.
Rooted in Chinese mythology, memory, history, symbolism, and spiritual imagination, PHOENIXA unfolds across a multidimensional universe inhabited by humans, ancestral spirits, divine beings, sacred creatures, and cosmic forces.
Phoenixa: The Nest, A Mystical Quest for the Cheng Legacy, is a story of metamorphosis and awakening-of courage, hope, madness, redemption, and humanity at the brink of self-destruction.
Blending mythology, history, memory, and imagination, PHOENIXA: THE NEST transports readers into a fantastical world of ancient wisdom, political upheaval, and spiritual adventure.
