Elle Hallor: The Mistress of Deception. The Shatterer of Hearts. A Desperate Assassin Trying to Belong.
  
                            *********

Elle had always yearned for a place in high society. Spinning tales were her speciality, weaving threads of truth and lie to ensnare her prey. There was nothing to save them from tripping into her intricate traps.

Her loyalties are sworn to the Order, one of the networks of assassins across Myndor. Assassins do not get the satisfaction of knowing why they need to kill another enemy; retrieve another arcane item. She knows this. Enemies are lurking at every turn -- from the ancient jungles of Sirimiri and the Arichor tribes to the decaying City of Smoke. 

In a world ripe with betrayal and shadows, there's no time for chasing frivolous dreams of passion. Else one might find themselves choking on smoke from the spreading fire they didn't heed...

Her Amber Eyes: The Failure. (Discontinued.) by TheDuchessOfSweets

"You're a Shifter." This caught me off-guard. A Shifter? I had heard of them, thieves and criminals that are able to shift to the Other Realm using shadows. Seventeen-year-old Adaria Feur is extremely confused when she wakes up in a room with no memory of how she got there, no memory of the powers everyone keeps telling her she has, and not a clue of how to survive a prestigious academy that is actually training teens into becoming agents for a secret organization called F.E.A.R. However, the thing that worries her most is the pair of amber eyes she keeps seeing in her dreams. They're so beautiful, familiar, warm... but dangerous. And she knows that they hold her whole world, whether she likes it or not.

Agent Rogue by Caitlin_Lucy

The best agents are the ones who don't question orders. They lack their own morals and trust their directors in the same way a dog trusts its master. Amber Knight is one of those agents. After being sent on a mission to retrieve rogue agent Derek Barnes, Agent Knight finds herself stranded across the sea with the arrogant, flirtatious traitor with one order: bring him back ALIVE. But there's something wrong. Barnes doesn't resist Amber's efforts in dragging him across the country as another group of pursuers chases the two in an effort to dispose of herself and Barnes. She soon discovers that the people in her life may not be as trust-worthy as they appear. And, with dozens of lives hanging in the balance, Amber is forced into a position where she must make her own rules and become her own master.
