Sang Sorenson is a sheltered rich girl whose life is a lot more rough than most believe. Her entire life has consisted of abuse from her step-mother, and overbearing older brothers who would do anything to shelter her from the world. But when she transfers to public school and meets a group of nine guys who have her living on the wild side, she's finally found a place she can escape. The group of boys make her feel things she's never felt before, and she's willing to put it all on the line for them, and they're willing to do the exact same for her. Except, they just might have to in order to get through the war that is about to be started. Disclaimer: Most of these characters belong to C.L., except for a few cuties who happen to be Sang's brothers in this.

"Here Be Dragons" A phrase meaning dangerous or unexplored territories, frequently used in the 1700s by cartographers on faraway, uncharted corners of the map. It was meant to warn people away from dangerous areas where sea monsters were believed to exist. It is now used metaphorically to warn people away from unexplored areas or untried actions. Travelers Beware. It's all fun and games until someone dies. ***This is a fan-fiction based off CL Stone's Ghostbird series. The characters belong to her and I take no financial gain.

And what happens when an old enemy rears his head?

Sang's job hangs in the balance. She's beginning to know the team at Blackbourne Investigations. But do they know her? Please read Blackbourne Investigations 01 - Introductions prior to reading this.

Sang Sorenson grew up in Greece and used to be close friends with Silas Korba. But then one day he left with his friend and she never saw him again. At least until six years later, when she moves to Sunnyvale Court in South Carolina. But things can't be fixed with a simple "Hey, great to see you again." Sang has to learn to trust people, to believe that they really will be there, no matter what. She has to learn what a real family is all about. But with bad men out to get her family, how can she do that? Will Sang open up to the Blackbourne team in time for them to help her? **Characters are based from the C.L. Stone's Ghost Bird series and are not mine. This is fan fiction. This story is for entertainment purposes only and will not be sold in anyway.** Book One: Please Don't Leave Me Behind Again (Completed) Book Two: Please Don't Ever Let Me Go (Active) Book Three: Please Don't Let Me Shatter Again (Coming Later)

One day Sangs world is ripped to shreds, along with her heart. Follow her as she mends herself and hopefully all of her family back together. This is a fanfic... if you don't know who C.L Stone is or who Sang Sorensen or what a ghost bird is then this won't make any sense to you. This is just done for fun while we are waiting for the next book from C.L. All characters are hers and i'm not making any money off this reimagining.

Since she was eight years old, Sang has been living with an abusive family that's hated her. When they move to South Carolina, she finally gets the courage to run away - but at what cost? Note: All primary characters portrayed are those of CL Stone, author of The Academy series. I'm receiving no financial gains from this, nor will any be sought. Some scene settings/dialogue can be found in her first novel, but the primary arc of the story is my own. Photo credit: "Dark Clouds Approaching" by Benson Kua/Flickr
