The Phoenix Chronicles began with Any Given Doomsday in 2008 and ran for several novels through 2014. The series stars Elizabeth Phoenix, who gets pulled into a hidden war against demonic forces after the murder of her mentor. Each book raises the stakes as Elizabeth grows into her role as a fighter against the coming apocalypse.
The series has a darker edge than Handeland’s Nightcreature books. The mythology draws on various religious and supernatural traditions, and the action is more intense. The prequel novella In the Beginning and the later entry Dances with Demons fill in gaps around the main storyline.
