Phoenix F. Black is a British Nigerian author, publisher, and creator of the Gardenia Universe — the founding text of afroeurofantasy fiction.
Born in Britain, rooted in Nigeria, and formed by both, Phoenix F. Black writes at the intersection of two mythological worlds — weaving elements of Nigerian Yoruba tradition and European folkloric heritage into a single, original cosmology. At the centre of that cosmology is a protagonist who is both — carrying fire and frost in equal measure, and learning that neither half can be left behind.
Phoenix F. Black is the author of Deminius: The Origins Series and the forthcoming epic saga, The Walker of Gardenia.
The Gardenia Universe. Built for those the story forgot.
The lore was always ours. Now it has a world.
