Phoenix's Crest: Flames of Fate
By Josiah J. Harrison
In a world veiled by ancient secrets and simmering with the embers of forgotten magic, a lonely girl on the fringes of society discovers a mysterious crest that changes everything she thought she knew about herself. Josalyn, an imaginative outcast with a penchant for daydreaming and storytelling, stumbles upon a legacy long buried-one that ties her to a prophecy older than memory and a power darker than night.
As shadowy forces begin to awaken and descend upon her once-quiet village, Josalyn is thrust into a journey that will test her spirit, ignite her hidden strength, and awaken a magic she never knew she possessed. With enigmatic allies, deadly enemies, and a destiny that refuses to be denied, Josalyn must uncover the truth of her origins and rise to face the fire that fate has forged for her.
Phoenix's Crest: Flames of Fate is an epic fantasy adventure of courage, self-discovery, and the untamable spark of destiny. Perfect for readers who crave rich world-building, complex characters, and a heroine with fire in her soul.

Zenith: Hero's Journey
"Do you know what every hero has in common? They bleed, they suffer, they save the world-only to be broken, forgotten, left to rot. Not a single one gets peace. Not a single one gets a happy ending. But me? I will end this cycle. I will give the world a better story-one where the heroes win, and finally get the ending they deserve." In the fractured world of Zenith, where divine relics pulse beneath the earth and rifts spill nightmares into the sky, fate forges an unlikely alliance to defy annihilation. Valen, a rare Pantheon from Corinthia, is gifted with the Hero's Journey-the power to relive and wield the strength of long-dead heroes. At his side stands Ashley, a Flameborn forged in discipline and duty, a steadfast protector whose fiery will shields her allies. With them is Riley, a charismatic Verdant whose humor and warmth mask a deep empathy. But their fragile balance is threatened by Nyx, an enigmatic Azrael bound by an unsettling connection to the very rifts they fight to destroy. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the rifts and the power hidden within their souls. Yet in a world where memory is power and prophecy a weapon, every step forward draws them closer to becoming another tragedy in the endless cycle of forgotten heroes.

As such, this is somewhat unedited, and needs improvement. Constructive criticism is both wanted and appreciated. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Cover is mine, made with AutoDesk Sketchbook and BeFunky photo editor. - - - - Content warnings: Kidnapping, Violence, Cursing, Fighting, Torture, Death, mentions of past s*xual assault, and slavery. Please let me know if there's any other warnings that you think should be added! (I swear that makes it sound so much worse than it actually is. This is a lighthearted story about friendship, self discovery, family, and freedom.)Complete
