Feared by his enemies and tolerated by his allies, Sedgewick Alverdyne, the cynical Minister of Magic, was content with living an attachment-free life whilst striking fear into the hearts of witches, sorceresses, and wizards everywhere. And after several hundred years of faithfully serving the royal family, he's become very comfortable in his position-including his indispensability. But when a mysterious curse starts wreaking havoc on his powers, his stable existence is pulled out from under him. Facing old and new enemies on one side and his own department on the other, Sedgewick finds himself stranded with little magic and less help. With time of the essence, his reputation on the line, and no one willing to help but Feyla, his meddling-yet surprisingly devoted-assistant, he's forced to confront one of the few challenges he hasn't prepared for. Because a mage without magic isn't a mage at all... A Wattpad Featured Story Published August 12th, 2016. Completed August 20th, 2017.

Magic is to be feared. It is a wild, unpredictable thing, and anywhere it goes it brings mayhem and destruction. Those that wield it are even more dangerous. At least, that's what King Soren claimed when he hunted down and killed nearly every magic-user in Eldernia. The only ones he spared were sworn into Soren's service as elite agents that have one purpose, and one purpose only--find any remaining magic-users and give them a choice. Join the Valkir . . . or die. Asher, a sixteen-year-old boy, has managed to conceal his power for years. But when his secret is revealed, there will be no more hiding. || Winner of the 2020 Sinne Awards || || Third place in the 2020 Black and Gold Flames Awards - Fantasy || The fabulous cover is from @-designdistrict !

It seems as if the universe is out there to punish her when it takes away the one thing she held dear: her voice.

It's when Kimberly High welcomes a brand new student that she realizes her punishment is far from over. Her past is cast into the spotlight once again as foreign teenager William Henley crashes into her life- the one where it didn't involve her almost dying because of him. -------------- 1st Place in 'The Monthly Sunflower Awards'! 1st Place in 'The Aurora Awards 2019: Frost Edition', Romance category!

Magic and ego always go well together be it in either the hands of a tyrant or a hero. In the world of Belvegarde, kingdoms are fraught with war, as men slaughter each other with steel and magic in the name of their old Gods. Mystaline is not one of those armored, volatile savages. She's a young, sheltered woman who is one of the Gifted, mortals born surrounded by Mist and blessed with different forms of magic. Unlike other musicians and singers, she is able to turn any backwater rhyme into a beautiful song that can move thousands and heal them. It is because of this that she vows to use her gift to mend the war-ridden kingdom of Caledonia, which she calls home. But instead of achieving the fame and recognition she thought being a Gifted would come with, Mystaline instead discovers the cruelty of Caledonia's inner circle. Unbeknownst to her, the Gift she was born with is the catalyst that will drown all of Belvegarde in blood. *cover and banners were painted and designed by me* ---updates at least once a week--- *Featured on newlywrittenbooks's Fantasy reading list *1st place Fantasy - August Blue Rose Awards *1st place Overall - August Blue Rose Awards *1st place Rookie - August Blue Rose Awards *1st place Fantasy - Courage Awards 2019 #56 in highfantasy (08/06/2019) #36 in epicfantasy (9/29/2019) Started July 30, 2019
