A bullet-riddled train staggers into a Chinese station in 1920, and Lucy discovers that her father, a Russian officer, has been kidnapped. A mysterious feather guides her into a dangerous realm of magic and monsters to rescue him. But she knows she can’t take on the quest alone. With her friend Su, a girl as quick with words as with her fists, the two uncover the terrifying truth: a notorious warlord has seized Lucy’s father. Worse, he is about to invade their city. The friends confront the criminal underworld, cross a haunted forest, and outsmart creatures they thought lived only in fairytales. But will their wits and bravery be enough to beat the warlord’s army of human soldiers and magical beasts?

Soar into a grand adventure, a world of Chinese and Slavic myths … into the world of The Phoenix and the Firebird.


"With cinematographic crispness, this romantic vision of a distant time and culture conjures up a tale of friendship, family, and magic. Stay up all night to read it, and you’ll freshly understand the old Russian adage, 'The morning is wiser than the night.' I was enchanted."

- Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked

"It was a joy from start to finish! The world was brilliantly imagined, the plot filled with excitement and I loved the fusion of Chinese and Russian folklore."

- Abi Elphinstone, author of Sky Song

"A Peking caught between an imperial city and a new republic; a world where harsh reality mingles with myth and magic. Warlords, exiled Russians, gangsters, a child in search of her father. There are worlds within worlds in old Peking - real and imagined. Kossiakoff and Crawford bring them all together and to life."

- Paul French, author of Midnight in Peking and City of Devils

“The magical story, told in melodic prose, held this reader rapt with wonder throughout. An absolute gem of a read!”

—Alice Poon, author of The Heavenly Sword and The Earthly Blaze
