Anya Katsukova is a passionate young Dr. in training who thinks only of her work — at least until a mystical stranger is find half - dead in the woods . When a horrid pestilence follow on his heel , Anya must rely not only on science , but also learn the spectral mysteries of her humans , to make unnecessary the people who swear on her .
Sarah Ellerton’sThe Phoenix Requiemis set in the subdued town of Esk , where Anya serves as a nanny , apprenticed to a physician who lick her to the osseous tissue , but sees her voltage as a medico . Although she ’s the daughter of foreign parent and was raised in a much larger city , Anya has find a dwelling house in Esk , and has grown close to Petria , a hoydenish dilettante with a fondness for man ’s clothes , and Robyn , a former soldier who secretly see to it trace . But their comparatively peaceful biography are disrupted when Jonas Faulkner , a handsome stranger with a mysterious yesteryear , collapses on the outskirts of Ithiel Town .
Jonas is charming and jovial , and seems to be the only somebody who can distract Anya from her oeuvre . But he ’s also a widower with a tragic history , and sure aspects of his past times do n’t quite add up .
This set - up , combined with the Victorian - prompt setting , seems like the sodding introduction to a Gothic ghost account , but The Phoenix Requiem go in a rather unlike direction . A grisly pest invades Esk , bolt down its residents painfully and rapidly . Neither Anya nor the town ’s doc can see a cause , and it becomes more and more clear that it is somehow connected to the souls of the restless dead — and to Jonas himself . Anya must help Jonas pick together the lost pieces of his yesteryear and learn the true statement behind the local myth about ghost , angelical spirits , and devil . But the pest is n’t the only scourge , and the other denizens of Esk must find out to defend themselves against the progressively monstrous force of the dead .
But even as The Phoenix Requiem begins to host activeness - packed scenes of ordinary people face up dire behemoth , it is , at its heart , a supernatural Romance language between two people who find a deep duty to the larger globe . And the metaphysical closed book that surround their relationship may have more wakeless consequences — for the living and the bushed — than either of them could have ever reckon .
