In a world hidden from ordinary humans' eyes, a rift exists where supernatural beings, creatures of nightmares, reside. This realm remains shielded from prying eyes, accessible only to those captured and forced into servant training. Once inside, individuals are reprogrammed for absolute obedience and trained to fulfill their Master's every whim until they are deemed expendable. Escape is impossible. Madelyn Vagen lived her life blissfully unaware of this hidden world. Orphaned at three and with no memories of her early years, she was adopted by a loving family who nurtured her with the belief that she could achieve anything. After a failed date, Madelyn's everyday life shatters, and she becomes a victim of this dark trade. Captured and stripped of her identity, she is prepared to be sold to the highest bidder. Her fate seems sealed until the royal family abruptly interrupts her auction. As she is thrust into a world of secrets, Madelyn uncovers truths she never imagined. She learns about her mother's past, follows in her footsteps, and is pulled into a life where she must navigate the treacherous waters of royal blood. Madelyn finds herself fighting for her own survival and those who cannot protect themselves. All because she was born with a gene that caused her to do the one thing her former handlers never expected.

A mysterious man only known as the Pied Piper haunts Aschein. Not only does he lead children away, but he robs many towns of the magic that sustains their life. Now, monsters overrun the world, and humans are being driven into a corner, unable to fend off the creatures that attack them more and more frequently. Enter sixteen year-old Klaudia, a disabled girl who was left behind because she was unable to follow the Piper. She is a living curse to the people of Hamelin, a painful reminder of their misfortune--and has no place in the town. When she receives a marriage proposal from the powerful Lord Himmel, she accepts without hesitation. Introduced into the world of magic, Klaudia finds her calling as a Magus, a powerful brand of sorcerers whose Affinities are among the most powerful in the world. But underneath the glamour and the luxury of Lord Himmel's castle lies a deadly secret. Soon, Klaudia will learn that not everything is as it seems, and freedom will always come at a dangerous price. *** EDITOR'S CHOICE OCTOBER 2020 Previously Wattpad Featured Lovely cover by @seventhstar Word count: 127K

In a world where a powerful spell is the only measure protecting witches against the 21st century stake burnings, 16-year-old Kelsey can't resist arguing with her mother, leader of the witch burners, over the good of magic. When Kelsey discovers her own magic, she joins a bunker for protection and training, and vows to show her mother that not all witches are an abomination. However, the fight between good and evil isn't as black and white as Kelsey had hoped, with evil sparing lives and good sacrificing them in a misguided attempt to keep magic alive. Kelsey finds an alternative plan: to rip magic from the world. It's drastic, it's unforgivable, but it might be the only thing that can save witches from themselves. However, destroying magic will break the spell protecting witches from the witch burners. For once in her life, Kelsey will need to reason-not argue-with her mother that witches can be good people too, or else the stake-burnings will commence.
