Fifteen years ago, an enigmatic explosion shook the small Oregon town of Dorena, instigating global shock and an intriguing mystery as the door opened for people worldwide to learn thaumaturgy, a strain of magic. Although the cause of the explosion remains undetermined, thaumaturgy grows into a science in its own right, with lectures offered and degrees awarded in prestigious universities around the globe. Lillian is an atypically young physics student at the University of Oregon at Dorena, struggling to balance her intellect with her youthful appearance and grappling to learn the basics of thaumaturgy while those around her seem to thrive. When she receives a pair of mysterious visitors, she is abruptly plunged into the intricate mystery surrounding the explosion, discovering profound secrets about herself with the help of a small group of investigators from the Department for the Investigation of Anomalous Occurrences. The investigation leads them to inquire into the unexplained death of a young vagrant while in police custody forty years ago. What Lillian and the DIAO soon uncover could shake the very foundations of thaumaturgy- for the vagrant's look-alike appears to be wrapped up in the mystery. As Lillian's path collides with that of the enigmatic vagrant, she is forced to accept the truth about herself- a truth that could shake her place in the universe.

When Rhiannon Valdez, aspiring medical student and science geek, gets engaged to Theodore Hathaway, son of the millionaire entrepreneur, she was told to expect drama. But nothing could have prepared her for this. Shortly after their engagement, Theodore and Rhiannon attend a celebration held by his family to recognize his long-dead grandfather. Rhiannon receives a less-than-enthusiastic welcome from Theodore's father Alistair and his sisters Seraphine and Millicent. But the atmosphere changes abruptly when, early the next morning, Alistair is found dead- and Rhiannon shifts from simply being the undesirable fiancee to being suspected as a possible murderess. With the help of Sylvie Stein, an intern reporter with an eidetic memory and a knack for discovery, Rhiannon sets out to prove her innocence- and to enforce justice for Alistair Hathaway.

Siderion is mere minutes away from becoming a member of the Order and earning his first rank stripe when Serkha City is attacked and his life is changed forever. Thrown away from everything he holds dear, he must scramble for answers as his moral ground shifts under his feet. In a world full of mages and monsters, nothing is safe. - - - - - - - - There were lots of other mages gathered in the plaza, addressing the arkaetres they had ridden with curt nods or short dialogue. The doors to the building were big enough for even the largest dragon to enter, but still only a small imperfection in the huge structure. I knew the door was the size of a dragon because I could see one to compare it to, flying above the dome. Then I realized that the dragon was black. "Dad? Look up there." He looked up and cocked his head in confusion. "I've never seen anything like that before." The beast was quite high in the sky and didn't look particularly threatening, but it still spooked me to see an arkaetre that wasn't white. After watching the shadowy dragon for a few more moments, my dad said slowly, "It seems like they have no rider. We should probably tell the Council about this." I nodded and followed him inside the dome. "But what about the opening ceremony?" I asked nervously, looking down at my watch. "We've got some time." - - - - - - - - Remember to comment and vote for the chapters you enjoy! Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Velda is found by the royal family on her planet and joins seven other teens with similar beginnings. But, as they begin their training on the path to mastery of magic, something goes wrong... - - - - - - - - Velda reached into her pocket and pulled out the emerald and ring. It was a lot to take in, and Cha knew that she knew it. She looked back at Cha. "What if I can't do it?" "The fates decided that you would be here when I came to the material realm. You are the one we chose, and you are meant to have this Powerstone." Velda looked down at the emerald, which was still glowing faintly. "Could it hurt me?" "This is a first for me as well. I am not certain. I apologize if the transformation is harsh, but I think you will make it through fine." "What transformation?" "Well, it is hard to say what it will be." Velda stared at the stone, and after a while could see her reflection in it, stained green by the shine it was surrounded in. How could she trust herself to take on a task like this? She couldn't imagine being able to protect anything. - - - - - - - - Read the first novel on Wattpad with an original embedded soundtrack!
