Phoenix Dreaming (The Phoenix Index Book 1)

Trapped in an oppressive, abusive relationship with a sadistic bully three times his age, David McLeod finds that drink, sex and drugs are his only refuge from the self-hatred and sinister memories that plague his every waking moment. He begins to feel there is no way out…until gets his best friend’s fiancée pregnant, meets a lonely girl called Faith, and is forced to uncover the darkest secrets of his suppressed past – secrets that lead to the birth of a killer just as brutal and blood-thirsty as the demons he intends to destroy.

Set in the mystical and breathtaking landscape of Wales, Phoenix Dreaming follows a decisive year in the life of a teenager battling not only his cruel and tortured history but also his rapidly unravelling life. As one by one, everybody he values is taken from him, he realises that in order to survive he must rise from his own ashes and destroy the people that have wrecked his life.
