Aden is the first tale of alliance in the Blood-Rose Guardians series. It follows the story of Peter’s ally, a phoenix, who he meets at university. Aden has lived for millennia, and as a result, has many memories of a changing world. Her human life is the last of many lifetimes spent as a great bird - a phoenix reborn from the ashes of her own combustion.
It is hoped that readers will embrace Aden’s adventures as they have for the Guardians, as she faces her own trials and challenges. Aden’s history is filled with friendship and fascination, but it is not until she meets Peter that she understands what it is to love and to be loved.
This is the third Guardians book set in Armidale, NSW. Future books move to other parts of Australia.
