Phoenix Rising

Sometimes we must pay for the sins of our fathers…

In the years between the two Great Wars, Aldebaran Flood has risen to prominence with the publication of her book, Bells on her Fingers , and its subsequent adaptation to film.

Preparing to leave England for a four-month speaking tour of the United States, she begins to wonder who she will be when she returns.

For several years she has loved, and has been loved by, the handsome Orlando Sax, whose family has, for generations, been the bitter enemy of her own, but despite his repeated proposals, she finds herself unable to commit to marrying him until she has come to terms, not only with her own past, but with that of her family.

Her journey takes her from London to New York, Detroit to the Deep South, before she finally discovers in Paris the answers she has been looking for.

What she faces during her travels will affect her to the core – and when she comes home again it is with the determination that Orlando cannot want a woman with a chequered past such as hers.

If Orlando is to win Aldebaran as his bride, he must step into that past and learn to accept it as part of the woman that he loves.

Phoenix Rising is a thrilling literary tale and the third in Marguerite Steen’s Flood Trilogy .
