Rise of the Phoenix [Flame Scans Original

Deep beneath the frozen wilderness of Antarctica, a team of archaeologists stumbles upon a hidden cave—and within it, colossal crystals whose origins defy all explanation. Before anyone can begin to grasp what they have uncovered, the crystals erupt with a surge of unknown energy that floods the earth itself. That surge marks the birth of the enhanced children, and Elaine is one of them. Yet the world that created them has no intention of treating them as miracles. Confined to laboratories and studied like lab rats, these children live under a single absolute rule: never move without an order. And so, obediently, they do not move. But they were never meant to be mere specimens. Despite the cages and the commands, they were destined for something far greater—to serve as the very root of humanity's salvation. Born of an unexplained mystery and raised as experiments, Elaine and the others carry a fate the world depends upon, even as the world refuses to see them as anything more than what it made.
