What is my book about?

It is a coming-of-age story within the trinity of Mystery, Personal Development, and Philosophy, exploring how our environments—good and bad—shape who we are.

Mia, a future-shy girl, is drawn by fate to the mystical town of Èze on the Côte d’Azur to care for the enigmatic Madame Charlotte after a recent accident. But what begins as a simple caretaking role quickly transforms into a journey of discovery, as Mia uncovers paranormal secrets and faces life-changing challenges that push her to grow. She encounters the six Phoenixes, the immortal siblings who each desire something from her, drawing Mia deeper into a web of supernatural intrigue. Among them is a Mentor who may hold the key to her destiny. Blending myths with philosophy, and magic with self-discovery, The Golden Phoenix and the Blue Jackal takes readers on an enthralling journey through a world of deep bonds, ancient legacies and the timeless quest for identity.

It started out as a job... a road to a better life... and now she strongly feels it is a matter of life and death whether she makes the right choice... was she cut out to be the perfect companion for not only one, but two Phoenixes at the same time? Or will her failure to meet the task head on turn her into a salt pillar?
