Meet the Adrasteia Family: The Immortals Behind the Story

At the center of Trial By Firebird is a family unlike any other.
The Adrasteias are Firebirds rare immortals capable of being reborn from their own ashes. Over centuries, they’ve witnessed empires rise and fall, survived unimaginable loss, and carried the weight of responsibilities few could understand.
Yet despite their extraordinary abilities, they’re still a family. They argue, worry, tease one another, and would do almost anything to protect those they love.
Kate Adrasteia is the heroine of Trial By Firebird. Compassionate, stubborn, and haunted by memories of a previous life, she’s determined to find answers about her past while struggling to believe she deserves a future.
Abaddon Adrasteia is the eldest sibling and the family’s protector. Having spent centuries looking after his brothers and sisters, he carries the burden of leadership with fierce dedication. If you threaten his family, you’ll quickly discover why many once viewed him as something far more terrifying than a man.
Aquila “Qui” Adrasteia is the youngest sister and arguably the kindest. Her heart is so big that she often puts the needs of others before her own, whether they’re mortal or immortal.
Ayperos Adrasteia, Kate’s younger brother, remains one of the family’s greatest mysteries. Though absent, his loss continues to shape those who love him.
What makes the Adrasteias special isn’t their immortality.
It’s their loyalty to one another.
No matter how many lifetimes pass, no matter how far they are scattered, family remains the one thing worth fighting for.
And in Trial By Firebird, that fight is only beginning.
