Blackmail, revenge, survival. That was nowhere near what Evelyn Turner expected when she took the case. To become a lawyer was Evelyn's dream but not so much since no one believes she has the prowess. So, when Levi Coleman asks her to vie for his innocence, she could hardly refuse this chance to prove herself, all the while repaying her unspoken debt. However, as she digs further into the case, she realizes it might not be that simple. There is someone controlling things behind the scenes - someone she knows. The arson isn't merely a crime, it's an attack on her welfare. With her past on one side and the prosecutor on the other, she has nowhere to go but forward. There is no black or white here, only gray. Word Count: 70,929

Axle has known magic his whole life. Not the kind of magic from stage acts and swindlers on the streets, the kind that was used in secret, under the cover of lies and facades. Magic that, when found out by regular non-magic civilians, will be mercilessly sought out and destroyed if they weren't able to use it for themselves. This was his father's warning. But even when kept a secret, danger lurks ever so closely and Axle had to find a way to stop it all on his own... Or did he? Elaine knew she wasn't the only one. She had this feeling that there were others in her high school that did what she could do: real magic. Just when she was mustering up the courage to ask someone else that she thought was like her, danger strikes her school. A danger that she felt was related to her magic. She knew she had to do something about it. Should she deal with the threat alone like she usually faced everything else in her life? Or will she finally confront her suspicions about a certain boy from her school that she was sure had magic like her? ------------------------------------------------------- Huuuge thank you to the user @rainhither for creating this beautiful cover. You're the best!! This is an original story by me. The characters from this work are part of a different, but same universe, original novel I am currently writing. However, the main story of this universe will not be published here (at least that's my decision for now.) since I plan to publish/self-publish that work. Thanks for reading all the way to the end and I hope you like it!
