Phoenix Court (series)

Phoenix Court was a series of fantasy prose stories written by Paul Magrs. The series predated Magrs' DWU work and acted as a partial prequel to his EDA story The Blue Angel.

In an afterword at the end of The Scarlet Empress, Magrs explicitly said that "[Iris wasn't] a Time Lord at all, but still the same character"; he also said that he "injected" Iris into the DWU.
