The greatest gem within the Serandore Kingdom is not a sword or a stone - it's a family, a generation of famous magus' known as the Maelstras'. Each have proven their worth as magicians, and their contributions have earned them a place in the history books. And all Erin Maelstras wants is to join them, but it's obvious that fate has other plans for her. Destined to watch over the Library of Great Magicians and guard the books housed within, Erin is determined to do whatever it takes to get away from what she believes to be a cumbersome duty. However, things look set to change when a naive angel appears on her doorstep asking for her assistance in an unusual task. But the winged stranger is not all that he seems, and it isn't long before Erin discovers the truth behind his arrival. Now she must embark on a dangerous quest to ensure the protection of both humanity and the angels: a task which will test her limits as a magician and prove whether she is worthy of joining her ancestors in the books of history. * * * Cover credit: @seventhstar Updates will be sporadic.

"What are you doing here?" Thea spat even though her heart was beating a million times a minute. Grinning widely, the dark haired man stepped out from the shadows. The darkness clung to his clothes as if beckoning him to come back. "I was expecting a little more than that as a welcome. Didn't you miss me?" The boy taunted, the smile never leaving his face. An ancient coven once stopped a terrible darkness from consuming worlds by scattering it. Now many years later a new coven is rising with the sole aim of completing what that darkness had begun and perhaps even reviving it. The one evening that a young girl appears at Alison's home, is the day she and her family are thrust into this world of coven's, witches and shadows. A world she wants nothing to do with.

Exiled from her homeland, Elena found purpose in her work as the Captain of the Guard to the Queen of Kalad--at least, until she was ordered to help a brooding Prince regain his home and release his hostage son. A clever and competent soldier and expert swordswoman, Elena accomplishes this with ease, in spite of the Prince getting in her way. When she discovers the land this difficult Prince rules is exactly what she has always yearned for, she implores him to allow her to stay. It isn't long, though, before she learns that they are threatened by a great evil force. Elena is willing to fight for what she has come to love, and willing to make any sacrifice to protect this special place, if only the Prince will cooperate. If you love a great epic, with magic, sword fights and a little bit of romance, you will love following Elena's story through to its dramatic conclusion. Sequel to 'UnGloved'! (Stands on its own.)
