Phoenix Fire
Author: Elizabeth Forrest
 
The Phoenix - For millenia it had battled its ancient foe, and, always with the passage of centuries it had been renewed by the power of flame. Yet its last burning had been far too long ago, and its magic and life force had waned as, trapped in the La Brea tar pits, it dreamed of its enemy and of the fires of rebirth .  .  .
The Demon - Defeated but nor destroyed, it had been imprisoned by the first Chinese emperor beneath a magical seal and an army of clay warriors. For two thousand years it had waited, waited for the long-buried army to be rediscovered, waited for the archaeologist who could set it loose  . . .
And in Los Angeles and China - the very earth began to dance as these two creatures of legend fought to break free. And as earthquake and fire began to take its toll on the mortal world, four desperate people began to suspect the terror that was about to engulf Los Angeles . . .
