Stories that teach. Worlds that breathe.

About Aqua Phoenix Books

Aqua Phoenix Books is an independent imprint dedicated to stories that reach across ages and worlds — from epic fantasy that asks what it means to be seen, to curriculum that treats young learners as the deep thinkers they already are.

We believe the best stories don't just entertain. They lodge themselves somewhere behind the ribs and quietly rearrange the furniture.

Every title under this imprint is written with care for the reader who is still becoming — which, in our experience, is everyone.

Adult Fantasy

Epic series with elemental magic, women who refuse to disappear, and worlds that ask hard questions about fate, sacrifice, and the courage to say no.

Middle Grade Fiction

Stories for readers discovering who they are — full of adventure, genuine stakes, and the quiet dignity of being young and figuring it out.

Homeschool Curriculum

Learning materials that take curiosity seriously. Narrative-driven, hands-on, and designed for the whole family to think alongside each other.

The
Weaver's
Wake

by Christine Chamberlain

In a small Ohio town, a former homeschool mother discovers she can teach older adults to overcome their fear of water — and that physics, properly understood, is a kind of magic. Half a world away in myth and silence, a master silk weaver is forced into retirement the moment her youngest daughter marries.

Two women in different worlds, neither willing to disappear quietly. They hear each other's voices in the space between sleeping and waking — and what one discovers may be the only thing that saves them both.

Christine Chamberlain

Christine is the author of The Weaver's Wake, the first book in a four-part epic fantasy series. She writes about women who refuse easy endings, magic that follows the laws of physics, and the strange ways two people in entirely different worlds can still reach each other.

A homeschool educator and storyteller, she brings the same curiosity to her fiction that she brings to the learning table — the conviction that the best questions are the ones that don't resolve quickly.

She is currently at work on the remaining books in the series, as well as middle grade fiction and curriculum titles forthcoming under Aqua Phoenix Books.
