Be careful what you ask for...

Kylie got into journalism to write important stories. Ones about gargoyles and dryads, elemental warriors, and thwarted magical attacks on her city. The bigger the story, the better. So when she lands the opportunity to ask an enchanted everlasting tree for the answer to any question she desires, she doesn’t have to think about it. She wants the story of a lifetime.

So does her nemesis, Nathan. If anyone is going to write a high-profile story, the senior journalist believes it should be him—and Nathan’s not above playing dirty to get his way. Kylie must work fast or risk losing control of her story.

But with every new lead forcing Kylie and her gargoyle companion, Quinn, deeper into a deadly maze of murder, warped magic, and monstrous beasts, rushing could prove fatal. Kylie is determined to publish her dream story, but she is beginning to wonder...will she survive long enough to write it?

From the USA Today bestselling author of the Gargoyle Guardian Chronicles comes an extraordinary new series filled with elemental magic, mythic creatures, and heroic gargoyles.

    I waited anxiously to learn more about Kylie and Quinn. Quinn is the most perfect companion. Every time I read more about him I'm more in love with him. Kylie sometimes goes off half cocked but there is never a dull moment. Grant is still an undecipherable character. Does he care for Kylie, is she just a pain or is it just the dangerous situations they share? Yes, Nathan is still the bane of her existence. I am so excited for the next one, too.

    A continuation in another rock solid vein of universal fiction. You can not take for granite the type of stones thrown at the young reporter. The adventures and discoveries with her friends lead her to a labyrinth of problems both literal and situational. Creative animals are not missing lynx. Okay, may be pun ished for review .

    5.0 out of 5 stars Firebirds and Gargoyles.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 2, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Once again Ms Rebecca Chastain produces a masterpiece! The imaginative use of words to describe the world of Firebirds and Gargoyles, a determined heroine overcoming seemingly overwhelming odds to arrive, not unscathed at journeys end, yet remaining indomitable, apparently ready to do it all again! The introduction of Firebirds , a master stroke I feel! Happily anticipating the next of Ms Chastain's books. I may have gotten a wee bit excited here but it's quite normal after reading one of Ms Chastain's books to become somewhat exalted!

    Riveting, breath taking, beautiful imagery.

    Worth the wait, can't wait for her next book.

    Are Kylie and the captain to progress things or is it intentionally teasing of a thing that may or may not happen.
    Can't wait to find out.

    I loved the Gargoyle Chronicles and was unsure about this spin off series. However I really enjoyed this book. It still features the same characters but from the best friend and reporter Kylie's point of view. Fast paced with action packed storyline which makes it hard to put down. A great new series. Highly recommend.
