Phoenix Keeper

Aila has spent her entire life dreaming of saving phoenixes. She pulled countless all-nighters at uni just to sneak a toe in the door of the breathtakingly competitive field of conservation, stumbling through failed romance and disastrous class presentations thanks to social anxiety, while also surviving a ferocious class rivalry with the (unbearably beautiful) insufferably hotshot Luciana. Somehow, she actually did it: landed her dream job as head phoenix keeper at the world-renowned zoo that inspired her as a child, tasked with rescuing the critically endangered Silimalo phoenix from the brink of extinction. There are just two or three (thousand) impossible problems. 1. She can`t act sensibly around the charming dragon keeper, Connor. 2. Her plans to revive the phoenix programme are more precarious than ever, after a poacher attack at a neighbouring zoo. 3. Her best chance at success means teaming up with the star of the zoo, the universally adored griffin keeper, the hotshot showmaster of the most popular exhibit . . . Yes, of course it`s Luciana.
