Magic is a powerful yet fleeting thing. Those blessed with its presence are given a choice: to do good for their fellow man or to be corrupted. Tobias has neither magic nor the pressure of its power and has lived a peaceful, secluded life because of this. That is, before he stumbles across the key to power: a spellbook. Desperate to unlock its secrets, he accepts it as the promise of something greater. Until the day a thief snatches the book out from under him. In an effort to get it back, Tobias is thrust out into the dangerous world beyond the comfort of his home. Dragons, secrets, and wild magic lurk around every corner he turns, and he has no hope of catching the thief on his own. In order to reclaim his book and safely return home, Tobias must learn to adapt to the shifting world outside. But as he is joined by others who volunteer to aid him in his search for the thief, he realizes there's more to her than he thinks, and the spellbook is only the beginning.

So apparently it isn't appropriate for an eleven year old to cuss someone out... that someone being my fiancé... who happens to be the crown prince... at his mom's (who also happens to be the Queen) tea party. Okay, maybe that wasn't the best way to handle the situation, but he started it! When a college student dies unexpectedly she wakes up in the body of Callista Sylvester, the second child of a powerful Duke. After realizing that she has reincarnated into the villainess from a popular otome game, Callista must figure out a way to change her fate before she is exiled by her fiancé, the crown prince. However, as the story progresses, Callista soon learns that exile is the least of her worries. It turns out that the world of a teen otome game is filled with political strife, warring countries, and corrupt leaders. Armed with quick wit and a foul mouth, Callista must become some one who can protect the people she loves. WARNING: Some cursing... well maybe a lot of cursing... she's trying okay! *this is an original story* Cover art by @aniblade (check her work out on insta)

In the beginning... he was like a storm: violent, dangerous, and perfectly capable of destroying everything in his path. He'd gotten his hands on everything needed to pin me in his trap. My home... my belongings... my life -- he could have taken any of them at any time, and I wouldn't have been allowed to so much as let out a single protest. In the end, though, what he ended up wanting more than anything else in the world was something I swore up and down I wouldn't ever give him. Me. 🌺👑💛👑🌺 Aerin Vanderhill is uncertain of who he is on the inside and what he really wants out of life. For seventy-five years, he's lived very quietly in a small but futuristic American town, sleeping during the day and occasionally meandering around at night, basically just wondering at his own depressing existence. His family is long dead and everyone he once loved is gone, so for him, all that's left is the silence of being alone... of mimicking life because its there and he has it. Its boring, but what's an awkward, socially inept vampire who's only true form of human contact comes through playing online video games supposed to do? Nothing. That's right, nothing. Because doing something would make him spiral. That's why he sticks to his routine, no matter how pointless it feels to him. Unfortunately, his simple way of living comes to an immediate end when a dangerous, beast-like man with strange powers and even stranger origins comes gallivanting into town, hunting for the so-called "leech" who lulls his victims to sleep before preying on them. Aerin is soon certain he's going to be murdered, but fate might just have other plans. (This is a story featuring male only romance. LGBT+) TRAILER INSIDE!
