The Phoenix is a terrifying mercenary, a soldier who travels the ten kingdoms, fighting for any who can afford his price. It is said that he is eight feet tall, with the strength of ten men. He breathes fire in battle, burning his victims alive. It is told that he is the unholy combination of a sorcerer and a dragon, and that with a wave of his hand all those who oppose him fall to their knees, defeated. The only reason he carries a sword into battle at all is because it amuses him to fight those who believe they have a chance against him. But The Phoenix is not what everyone expects...him...to be.

"I felt so caged again, as if I had wings but I wasn't allowed to fly, a voice but I wasn't allowed to speak. It was a scary feeling at first, but later you just get used to it, but you just want freedom and the feeling of safety. Why did I have to be caged in this dump? I thought about the Phoenix again. Did the Phoenix hate me? What had I ever done to this Phoenix? I balled my fists up in anger as I stared outside the window still, watching a great brown eagle fly outside." ("The Normality" is part 1 of "Destiny of Fire", the first book of the "War of the Phoenix" series) For quite a long time, a legendary bird called the "Phoenix" tried to possess a woman and her children to come in hopes of taking over the world. When it gets ready to try and possess its next victim, Alisha Quill, a group called the Storm-seekers and another group called the Spreaders are hard at work to stop the Phoenix in any way possible, including asking for the help of the most powerful man in the world; Almaroz. Meanwhile, nine heroes rise from the most unlikely places and even though they don't know it, their paths are set to cross and their destiny falls under the feet of the storm-seekers and the Phoenix itself. Achievements: #32 in Steampunk #105 in Prophecy #152 in Phoenix WARNING: It's my first story, so it probably won't be top quality, and the chapters are pretty long. "A Great Storm Is Coming..."

Phoenix's Deceptress Wife by redauza
30 parts Complete Mature
BROTHERS CODE SERIES 1 R18+ Phoenix despised Hailey from the moment they got married. If it weren't for the money his grandfather had promised, he never would have agreed to the marriage. Their union was nothing more than a means to an end, a business arrangement forced upon him for the sake of his financial gain. He made a vow to himself on the day of the wedding: he would do everything in his power to destroy their relationship and end their marriage. He wanted nothing to do with her, and he was determined to make her life miserable. Phoenix believed that if he pushed her hard enough, she'd leave on her own, freeing him from the commitment while still securing the fortune he was promised. His plan was simple: expose the woman Hailey really was, or at least, the woman he assumed her to be. He believed she was nothing more than a manipulative gold-digger, someone who had schemed her way into his life for her own personal gain. In his mind, he was the victim, and Hailey was the one who deserved to be humiliated and cast aside. But as Phoenix carried out his plan, something unexpected began to happen. The more time he spent around Hailey, the more he realized that the image he had created of her in his mind was far from the truth. She wasn't the cold, calculating woman he thought she was. Instead, she was kind, strong, and resilient-qualities that began to challenge everything he had believed about her. The moment of truth hit him like a freight train: he had been wrong all along. Everything he thought about Hailey, everything he had convinced himself was true, was a lie. And worse, his actions-the cruelty, the distance, the manipulation-were beginning to backfire. The real question now wasn't whether Phoenix could end the marriage, but whether he could fix what he had broken. Could he make things right before it was too late?

'For The Mafia' Series - Book 1 of 3! ~~~ "Down on your knees." He lets go of my hair and pushes my shoulders down roughly, before unbuttoning and shrugging off his shirt. I kneel in front of him and instantly unbuckle his belt and unzip his black pants. He watches me eagerly from above, keeping his hands to his side, letting me lead. "Are you jealous when I flirt with those men for information?" I bat my eyes up at him innocently as I pull his pants down to his knees. His face hardens as he considers my question. "I don't like your hands on them." He grumbles and I smirk. I already knew the answer. "I do it for you, Enzo." I remind him as I move my mouth closer to him. "Only me." He growls as he pulls my head forward, closing the space between us. ~~~ When a dangerous mafia leader meets this particular stripper, he learns she is anything but. Both equally ruthless and thirsting for power, he hires her as his lethal interrogator and assassin, however she quickly becomes more when neither can resist each other. But can she learn how to truly care for one of the men she was taught to use? Can he control his jealousy long enough to take advantage of her tricks? Will she love him enough to share her biggest secret - who she really is? Read to find out!

Threads of Fate by LeeraIvy
84 parts Complete Mature
The path fate lays before us is often many years in the making, and the tale of the Phoenix and the God-spawn is no different. Nearly 3,000 years before the war that would bring about Astaroth's defeat, another battle was waged to ensure there would be a future to fight for. Duty has been thrust upon Prince Azael Cadhael for centuries, first by filling the role of an uncrowned King, but his true story begins as all royal stories do: with a ball, a secret, and a peculiar dream. When Azael overhears the whispered plans of his betrothed and her twin brother to leave with the Phoenix on a goddess-given quest, he must surrender to a new type of duty entirely. Navigating his ever increasingly strained relationship with Tissaia Lochren while striving to save the future of his kingdom isn't a job easily done, and her closeness with the Phoenix, Kaius, certainly doesn't make it any easier. Tissaia has spent years in the shadows of her own failure and her father's wrath. Kaius's quest offers her and her brother Talarion a chance to claim their freedom at long last, but fighting ones' past can be just as deadly as fighting an armed foe, especially if that past isn't keen on backing down. If they're going to succeed, all four of them must learn to recognize the power in truth and bared secrets, as well as the strength in kinship. If they fail, it could mean the doom of all Asterria for an age. But if they succeed, perhaps fate will be kinder than they have been led to believe. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with abuse, gore, PTSD, torture, sexual content, and other topics. Please be aware if you are sensitive to such content. {The Phoenix Duology} "From the Ashes, I" "Born of Flames, II" {Additional Asterrian Saga Books} "Threads of Fate", prequel "Two Cursed Souls", sequel Completed February 9, 2025 *UNSOLICITED CRITICS MAY BE MUTED* see bio
