CHILDREN OF THE PHOENIX: THE IRON ROSE
By OSKAR KÄLLNER
ILLUSTRATED BY KARL JOHNSSON
-ON-SALE JUNE 11, 2024-
The Iron Rose is the second part of the science-fiction series Children of the Phoenix. It is a colorful universe teeming with intelligent species, all with their own distinctive characteristics, culture, biology and technology. A galaxy with both awe-inspiring miracles and shadowy mysteries in fast paced adventures into the unknown. The story of Alice’s and Elias’s journey is an epic space tale that will take your breath away.
Alice and Elias have left earth and are aboard a spaceship called The Phoenix, traveling through the galaxy with a crew of beings they never imagined existed until they were rescued by them while searching for their mother. Now they are in pursuit of the Krao ship that has taken their mother prisoner and find the enemy vessel docked at the space station known as The Iron Rose. The only problem is that it’s guarded by hundreds of Krao warriors. A rescue mission is planned, but just when they are about to execute it, everything takes an unexpected turn…
Creators Oskar Källnar and Karl Johnsson said, “Children of the Phoenix is a passion project, a love letter to the stories we grew up with. We both come from a childhood marinated in comics, science fiction books, video games and anime films. Now we set out to make this series as fun and as engaging as possible, combining the imaginary power of comics with the immersing depths of novels. We have seen in the reception of these books what we hoped for, that they are indeed books that both parents and children can gather around and appreciate, that the series has become a gateway to the entire science fiction genre. We love this because we cherish that SF sense of wonder, and want to share that feeling and this abounding universe that we have created with readers everywhere. So please join us on this grand adventure as Alice and Elias of Earth are thrown out into a fallen galaxy, making new friends among strange aliens, fighting unforgiving malevolent forces and uncovering earth shattering secrets to who they truly are, and their place among the stars.”
