The Rise of the Elites Collection is a shared world project that Jessica Cage created and organized. Published entirely in 2021, the seven-book series is set in Penumbra, a world where the High Spirit has determined that the current faction leaders are out of balance. Seven Elites must fall, and seven new leaders must take their place. Each book follows a different character stepping into power.
Cage wrote Reign of the White Phoenix, which introduces Elsfaer, a phoenix chosen to lead her people despite her unusual white flame that sets her apart. The remaining books in the collection were written by authors including Delizhia Jenkins, Jennifer Laslie, Mikel Wilson, E. M. Lacey, and Kish Knight. Building a shared world had been a long-held goal for Cage, and the Rise of the Elites brought that idea to life with a group of collaborators who each brought their own voice to the interconnected story.
