Shikaku Assassins: The Warlock's Curse by Ollycarus

________________________________________ Assassins have always done their job in secret. Whether it be in the past or the future. So this means Shikaku Academy, school for assassins of any kind, is hidden from the world. Well, not everybody. The Guild of the Phoenix, a group of elite powerful assassins of every kind that serve as a council, knows everything. Who you are. What you do. Where you live. And what would you do if the The Guild saw you as a threat? What would you do if you found something rare? What would you do if your life was in danger by the people who were supposed to protect you? The Guild of the Phoenix is your friend... and your enemy? To add on, what if you weren't just in the eyes of the Guild? What if you were being tracked down by a curse that will stop at nothing to kill you? How do you hide if it lives in your nightmares and stands by your reflection? Safety is a concept that only exists in dreams. ________________________________________

The Phoenix Girl (Editing) by SwishyMermaid

"Have I ever told you the story of The Phoenix Girl?" My Grandfather asked. "No, you have not," I said. My Grandfather was like any other old man, but his mind was far from ordinary. All grandfathers are alike, each one tells you stories about wars or the good old days. But not my Grandfather. He was a storyteller, but his stories were always different. He would just come up with the stories, and they would be so enrapturing to me. It hooked me from the beginning until the moment I had to leave. But then one day, he told me a story that would change everything for me and my Father. This story called the Phoenix Girl. It's a story of a girl who goes through hardships and struggles in her everyday life. They punish her for things she has no control over, but then she faces it all. She is reborn from the ashes of the flames that had consumed her. She is stronger. But what if this isn't just some story that my grandpa came up with? What if something connected her to my family? What will happen now that the truth is out there? Why was this story so important? What will change? Who is this Phoenix Girl? [Please note that this story is complimented but is under heavy editing at the moment]

Destiny of Fire: The Normality (WotP) by Rangerlil

"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.

The Time Beings [Awakening] by TCQueeZLG

A strange group arrived at Phoenix Drop. They're what you may call 'Strange', 'Weird', or even 'Mysterious'. They think they are there do something 'Legendary'.

They call themselves, 'The Time Beings' ~.~.~ Aphmau Divine Phoenix lived a normal life. At least, she likes to think she did. She cant stop thinking, 'whats so normal about waking up on the side of a deserted road with nothing but a strange amulet and no memories of her past?' She's the outcast of Phoenix Drop, the weirdo nobody wants to hang out with. I mean, who'd want to befriend a girl who nobody has ever seen or heard of before? She could be some type of mass murderer or some psycho. However, people are way to quick to judge. Even The Time Beings.

Lost Stars (The Jewel Project #3) by Wimbug

For Sam Grant, his family has become his sanctuary and the team that joins him on death defying adventures. But after everything he's been through over the summer, starting school is a return to more than welcome normalcy. Until he gets stuck in detention and Tom gets to leave on a spectacular internship without him. Except Sam should've learned by now that anything spectacular is merely a cover for danger.

Except this time, he might not win. *** Story is complete. Sequel to Firebomb. Highest Rank #38 in Adventure Epic cover by @italychick

Firebomb (The Jewel Project #2) by Wimbug

"Why is it always 'why' with you? Grow up already! Not all people are alike. You're good, I'm evil, you're naïve, I know how things are, and you're an idiot while I'm brilliant." With the jungle and Snitch Gravel left behind, Sam Grant thought the crazier part of life was over and he could now focus on his secret agent training and getting to know his new brothers. Before he can even get used to safety and comfort, everything goes downhill: his father goes ballistic, his cousin disappears and him and his brothers are called in to rescue a fellow agent from Snitch Gravel's base. Aside from sending them to battle countless henchmen, the Agency is also keen to keep them in the dark about their most important project - a project Sam and his brothers play a vital part in. Once again on the road, Sam must figure out how to do something he's never done before: infiltrate Snitch Gravel's base stealthily and come out unscathed. *** The story is completed. Sequel to Too Young Even if it's the second book in a series, the story is pretty stand-alone-ish. There are many characters, but it's easy to get the gist of them.
