Ever since she was a child, Melody has dreamed of following in her famous mother's footsteps and becoming a singer. But there's one problem-her voice. Convinced she doesn't have what it takes, Melody starts to lose faith in her dream. Everything changes when she crosses paths with people from a completely different world than her own. Through new friendships, raw talent, and a fresh take on music, Melody begins to discover that maybe her voice isn't the problem-it's how she's been taught to hear it. A/N: I've been inspired by a Tumblr post from years ago. If there's similarities with other stories, that's may be why.

#1 YoungAdult #1 Utopiansociety (19.12.2025) A magic academy. A century-old wish. A girl whose power was never meant to exist. Catherine Hale only wants one thing: to survive her first year at Lumaris Academy without drawing attention. But attention finds her anyway. First, in the form of dangerous whispers about her family. Then in a power surge she can't control. And finally-in the eyes of Skye Ardent, the academy's strongest and most unreadable warrior. When Cat accidentally unleashes magic she never knew she possessed, the balance of the academy shifts. Duels erupt. Alliances form. Enemies sharpen their blades. And a buried truth begins clawing its way to the surface: Cat's power shouldn't exist. Someone hid it. Someone wants it back. As Cat rises through the ranks-earning rivals, loyalty, and a dangerous new reputation-she discovers she may be connected to an ancient wish powerful enough to rewrite fate itself. And in a world where magic comes with a price... Cat must decide who she can trust. Logan, the boy of speed and sunlight- Or Skye, the storm she was never meant to stand beside. Because the awakening has begun. And Catherine Hale is at the center of it. My current book The Wishbound: Awakening will also be available soon to read on Royal Road under the name S.Miraan

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION How do you trust the ground when all you've known is flight? In this breathtaking debut, Leigh Ansell has created a compelling, heartbreaking, and truly engaging story about a young girl used to flying high only to be faced with living life with her two feet firmly on the ground . . . Seventeen-year-old Corey Ryder can't remember a time when she wasn't gliding through the air of Cirque Mystique's big top. As a trapeze artist in a traveling circus, Corey wakes up every day in a different place, buzzing for the moment she can suspend gravity during the night's performance. When the circus pulls into small-town Sherwood, California, everything seems normal - aside from meeting the exceptionally cute Luke Everett at a local diner. But that night, in the midst of the performance, tragedy strikes and flames overtake the tent. While Corey narrowly escapes, in the ashes of the circus pitch lies the only home she's ever known. Repeatedly thrown out of her comfort zone, Corey must learn how to push toward her future without forgetting her past, what it means to be a daughter to a mother she's never known, and how to navigate the confusing magic of first love, even as she performs the high-wire act of being true to who you really are.
