When strange storms and rising tides sweep across Crete, Aether Guardian Thalia Fénix is called to investigate. What begins as a quiet duty becomes a journey through ancient feuds, sacred sites, and secrets that blur the line between duty and desire.

With old rivals stirring and echoes of another Aether on the wind, Thalia must restore balance before the elements consume more than she’s willing to lose.

A cosy, character-driven fantasy steeped in elemental magic and mythic warmth, The Aether’s Call invites listeners into a world where harmony is fragile - and courage can sound like a whisper.

Book 1 in the Chronicles of the Elements: The Fénix’s Tales series.

Her Baba has drawn into himself, her sister Chichi is rebelling, and her young brother Tana is desperate for love and normalcy.When Chichi pulls her worst stunt yet, Baba uproots the family from their home in England for an extended camping holiday in their native Zimbabwe. Along for the trip is Meticais, a fabulously attired gender-neutral spirit--or ghost? or imaginary friend?--who only Mati can see and converse with.

Guided by Meticais's enigmatic advice and wisdom, Mati must come to terms with her grief and with the difficulty of living between two cultures, while the family must learn to forge their way in a world without their monumental mother.
