Jackette Knightley Announces Rising Phoenix: A Bold New Sci-Fi Fantasy Trilogy Launching with Original Soundtrack and Immersive Storytelling Experience
Award-winning international recording artist, author, and creator set to debut Rising Phoenix, the first installment of The Red Witch Saga Trilogy
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., July 22, 2026 (Newswire.com) - Award-winning international recording artist, author, and creator Jackette Knightley is set to debut Rising Phoenix, the first installment of The Red Witch Saga Trilogy, in September 2026. The release marks the beginning of an ambitious multimedia fantasy multiverse which combines illustrated novels, cinematic audio narration, and an original musical soundtrack into one immersive storytelling experience.
Leading the project's rollout is the Rising Phoenix Original Soundtrack, arriving July 23, 2026, and available everywhere music is sold or streamed. Knightley has earned recognition as an award-winning international recording artist whose music has become a fan favorite on Canadian airwaves through The Q - LGBTQ Network, while also receiving regular airplay from Ephraim St. Cloud's UK-based LGBTQ Music Charts, a broadcast network reaching audiences throughout Europe, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
When asked what makes the sweeping scope of The Red Witch Saga Trilogy unique, Knightley explains:
"I wanted to offer audiences an immersive experience with a fresh voice that reflects real life and the times in which we live. I sought to create sensational storylines in a spectacularly magical way while still reflecting the real-life issues everyone faces in today's world."
That vision comes to life through an expansive fantasy universe featuring more than 30 characters, 10 powerful evil queens, rival royal families, and competing realms battling for survival within a multiverse plagued by scarcity. Each illustrated novel is paired with full audio narration and an original soundtrack written, produced, and performed by Knightley herself, creating a truly cinematic reading experience unlike traditional fantasy publishing.
"It's pure escapism with just the right amount of wrong," Knightley says with a laugh when describing the trilogy's blend of high-stakes action, glamour, seduction, betrayal, revenge, heart, and humor. The series transports readers through multiple dimensions-both psychological and fantastical-while exploring universal themes that resonate with contemporary audiences.
