The Jade Phoenix Saga

Yu has been called corrupted since infancy. Her God Sign is flawed, leaving her as the only member of her mighty warrior lineage unable to cultivate — frail, scorned, and hidden away from the clan that considers her a stain on their honor. Bullied and bloodied but never broken, Yu secretly trains with her twin Jian swords, using her flawless memory to master forms far beyond her years. Her martial skill grows in the shadows, but without cultivation it means little — until she is offered a chance to be reborn.

Yu has finally begun her journey as a true cultivator, joining the prestigious Black Dragon Sect as the disciple of its infamous — and possibly mad — leader. But the sect is a brutal place where power rules all, and Yu once again finds herself a target: a verger girl daring to rise beyond her station. With enemies everywhere determined to see her fail, Yu must climb the ranks, grow her cultivation, and reveal the true depths of her power.
