Daphne and the Silver Ash by Joss Llewelyn was a wonderfully written fairy tale.  The city of Trevell has a beautiful Silver Ash tree where every century a phoenix is reborn.  Daphne has the gift of song and is summoned by Serafina, the phoenix, to sing to her.  Instead of the phoenix being reborn in the silver ash tree, she takes over the spirit of Daphne.  From there is the fight to save Daphne, the Silver Ash tree, and the city of Trevell from being destroyed by the rival city Kerys' army.  Daphne travels deep underground to the roots of the Silver Ash to find out what is causing it to wither and die.  Along the way, she is attacked by a swarm of salamanders and encounters a giant serpent, Ophion.  At one point, Daphne is possessed by two spirits desperate to save The Silver Ash.  Recommended to all who love a fairy tale.
