    Shelice Nembhard was born to rule. As the daughter of one of New Kingston's most powerful vampire bloodlines, her future has already been decided: inherit the clan, protect its territories, and someday wear the crown her father has spent centuries preparing for her. But Shelice has never wanted strength, power, or immortal politics. She wants magic. Real magic. The kind that answers with more than instinct and blood. Her twin brother Winston has the opposite problem. Born with their mother's witch abilities instead of the full strength of the vampire bloodline, Winston has spent his entire life feeling incomplete beside his sister. While Shelice moves through the world with unnatural speed and effortless dominance, Winston dreams of power that feels solid in his hands instead of spells that keep him standing behind everyone else. Then they discover something impossible. When their emotions align, their abilities begin to merge. Shelice can finally cast powerful spells. Winston gains the overwhelming physical strength he has always envied. Together, they become something neither vampire nor witch should be capable of becoming. But their gift comes with a dangerous truth. Their connection is rare. Valuable. And in the hidden supernatural world beneath Jamaica, rumors of power spread quickly. As tensions rise between rival factions and whispers of an ancient artifact known as the Twinstone begin surfacing, the twins flee the heavily guarded estate they once believed was their prison. Pursued through the forests, caves, and forgotten corners of Jamaica by creatures out of folklore and enemies tied to their father's past, Shelice and Winston search for the mysterious Weaver, a being rumored capable of rewriting inheritance itself. Rooted in Jamaican folklore and urban fantasy, Thicker Than Magic is a story about identity, family, envy, and the dangerous desire to become someone else, even at the cost of yourself.

    (This story is completed) Lajablesse also known as La Diablesse is a character from Caribbean folklore. She is always described the same way a beautiful woman with a broad brimmed hat and a long white dress meant to hide the fact that one of her feet is in fact a cloven hoof. She is particularly fond of attending belle air dances and can be seen at night in the forest or on lonely roads after festivities where she entices stray men. Men who fall victim to Lajablesse are always found the next day at the bottom of a precipice with their neck broken. Who and what Lajablesse is varies between stories. Sometimes she's a witch who has made a pact with the devil, sometimes she's a demon, and often she is the ghost of a woman who was wronged or killed by a man. Her stories are typically told from the perspective of the victim or an outside observer so I thought it would be fun to see what a story would look like from her perspective.

    When Nataly returns to Puerto Rico, it's supposed to be a brief pause-one last breath before moving on. But the island has other plans. A night of music and color shatters under a sudden earthquake, and in the chaos, Nataly locks eyes with a stranger whose presence feels disturbingly familiar. As she digs into the roots of her family's past, Nataly uncovers a land bound by secrets, betrayal, and a sacred tree pulsing with ancestral power. The deeper she gets, the clearer it becomes: nothing about her return is coincidence. And neither is the boy with the haunted eyes. Some inherit money. Some inherit land. Nataly inherited a curse.
