Phoenix rising

Phoenix Rising is the first book in the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences series, and while it introduces the main characters and world, it can be enjoyed as a standalone adventure. The overarching plot develops across the series, but each book generally features a self-contained mystery.

This book stands out for its blend of steampunk adventure with a strong comedic tone, often leaning into absurd situations and witty banter between the two mismatched protagonists. It also features a unique take on Victorian secret societies and fantastical elements.

Phoenix Rising has been adapted into an audiobook, which is narrated by James Langton. The audiobook maintains the humorous and adventurous spirit of the novel.
