The Phoenix Requiem is a dystopic fantasy webcomic written and drawn by Sarah Ellerton, author and artist of Inverloch, which takes place in a setting similar to Victorian-era England.

[1] Ellerton described The Phoenix Requiem as "the story of one man trying to forget the ghosts of his past against a backdrop of a Victorian-era world, where magic, long lost to the people, may be returning.

During a ride in the forest, Jonas, Anya, Robyn, and their friend Petria encounter a "spirit," one of the beings from the ancient past who have been imprisoned for many centuries before the events of the story take place.

That night, she encounters a "shade", a monstrous manifestation of a person who has died a traumatic death, and the following morning, the plague had spread to a large number of people.

Doctor Blythe sends Anya on an urgent mission to the medical research committee in Aubeny with data they have collected on the plague, to try to find a solution.

He determines to fight back as the plague continues to spread and more shades appear, attacking the priest and threatening to overrun the town.

Petria was abandoned at a young age by her parents, and survived by doing odd jobs around town; it is suggested that Robyn Hart has taken care of her in the past.
