~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.

Catalina Legrande is a magical prodigy. It is the reason why she is chosen by Madame Maxime to come study under the tutelage of Hogwarts professors during the year of the TriWizard Tournament.

However, I must say, no one will likely forgive her for killing professor Snape. ;)

Not everyone entered into the war choosing either The Boy Who Lived or Voldemort; some of the people who decided to join had their own reasons. Georgianna Carter tried to live a normal life but a part of her couldn't want to rest. After years of fighting herself and trying to forget, she decides to seek Voldemort and join his forces as an elite assassin. Last living witness of a dreadful crime, she harbors a terrifying secret no one could bear for forever. With her time running short, she sets on a suicidal mission that she bid herself to do to find rest; whether in death or success. Detached is now officially Book 1 of Last Witness Trilogy. Warning: this story will have some more mature and violent content than is customary for Severus Snape fan fiction love stories; it will be more of an adult reading (or at least, that's the plan ;D). Disclaimer: This story is a fan fiction created for entertainment purposes only. The only character I own is that of Georgianna Carter; the rest belongs to our ever favorite J.K. Rowling.
