HAUNTED by dreams of Phoenixes and Spiders from before she could remember, Theo is about to discover she is part of hidden worlds spanning time, in the fantastic debut novel by Indi authors Benny Charles and Alex Robinson, The Phoenix and the Spider, the first book in the Children of the Aether series.
What began as a gift of a short story from Benny to Alex soon morphed into a series of chapters in an ever-growing book… three books… five books. The dark fantasy story unfolds in the modern world and cuts into the realms of history from ancient Mesopotamia and pre-WW1 Serbia.
The pair have been touring their book at libraries including Shepparton and Euroa, which is a far cry from the adventures they had around the globe which helped inspire The Phoenix and the Spider, delighting fantasy readers and history buffs alike.
