    WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION The nightmare continues when Ryan, the gay wizard, comes face to face with the most unexpected nemeses yet. He will have to figure out if love truly is the most powerful magic of all. ***** After the events of I'M A GAY WIZARD, Ryan wakes up to a startling scene--his father is driving him to begin a brand new life in a small, idyllic town called Misthaven. The dream-like memory of being trapped at the Marduk Institute relentlessly haunts Ryan's new life.

Ryan and his friends must immediately escape this prison for a chance at survival. Little do they know that this is only the beginning of a harrowing adventure where the limits of love and friendship will be tested and the age-old question will return--is love truly the greatest magic of all?

    [Mirror Me Series Book 1] Hope Martinez was taught to fear her reflection, but the magical world on the other side is too tempting. Descended from those who can use mirrors as weapons, Hope has many dangers to face if she wants to get home before an ancestral curse destroys everything she loves. _________________________________________________ After a frightening incident leaves her family shaken, Hope Martinez promises her mother to never look at a mirror again. Three years later, Hope stands between two worlds - the world of her mother, a contrived and constricted set of rules ignoring their family's Hispanic heritage and abolishing all things reflective from the home, and the world of her abuelita, which is said to contain a mysterious power that members of the family are fated to discover. When high school bullying and peer pressure start pushing Hope's limits, she finds no other choice but to gain normalcy and break her mother's promise. She soon discovers a hidden magical world beyond her reflection, one filled with strange beasts, enchanted cities, and flying walnuts. Why would such a wonderful place be kept from her? The reason - Hope's family has a terrible destiny waiting to be unleashed.

    Infinite is the beginning of an extraordinary love story born from fate's quiet design. In the year 2001, in the small English village of Kingsteignton, lives James Waters, a young man who carries eternity like a hidden scar. He is known as an Infinity - one cursed to die, return, and remember every life that came before. To the world, he is ordinary. To himself, he is a library of lifetimes, each memory whispering warnings of dangers yet to come. Haunted by knowledge no one else possesses, James searches for answers in the shadows of the paranormal. He discovers that modern-day necromancers are rising, tampering with forces they barely understand, threatening the fragile future of humankind. Then fate intervenes. Laura Speed enters his life in a moment that feels both accidental and inevitable. Beautiful, guarded, and carrying secrets of her own, she recognizes something in James that mirrors her own hidden truths. Their meeting is brief, electric, and impossible to ignore. Two solitary souls, each standing on the edge of worlds unseen, suddenly find themselves no longer alone. As danger closes in and powerful systems move to silence those who do not fit their design, James and Laura are forced together. What begins as survival becomes partnership. What begins as curiosity becomes devotion. And what begins as fate becomes choice. Together they challenge forces that see them as expendable. Together they discover that love, when forged through lifetimes and tested by darkness, is not fragile - it is infinite. Their journey will not only reshape their world, but ripple across the universe itself. This is where their story begins.

    Ethan Vale escaped the asylum with no money, no ID, and no idea how normal people were supposed to survive. So he stopped trying to be normal. Now he sells omens, fake rituals, ghost consultations, bad-luck readings, and spiritual memberships to anyone desperate enough to pay. Rich collectors. Shady antique dealers. Haunted property owners. College kids. Criminals. People with secrets. Most of it is nonsense. Probably. Because sometimes Ethan says something impossible, and then it happens. Sometimes he sees red before disaster strikes. Sometimes the ghosts he invents leave evidence behind. He is a con artist. He is a survivor. He is a walking problem with a price list. And in a city full of frauds, killers, believers, and worse things hiding behind money, Ethan Vale may be the only madman worth hiring.

    Irish thought the worst thing waiting for her in Epping Forest would be another ghost. She was wrong. After waking from a nightmare where everyone she loved abandoned her, Irish joins the Dalfs on their newest investigation deep inside Epping Forest. Father Mick believes the recent disappearances are caused by a vengeful spirit, but the torn bodies, strange growls, and howls in the darkness suggest something far more dangerous. What begins as a simple paranormal investigation quickly turns into a fight for survival when the group discovers that the cabin by the river is haunted by more than one kind of monster. A violent ghost stalks the rooms, a werewolf hunts outside, and Irish is forced to face not only the creatures in the forest, but the fear that she does not truly belong anywhere. But when unexpected visitors from the House of El arrive, Irish learns that the world of ghosts, demons, and monsters is much bigger than she ever imagined. And maybe, despite everything she fears about herself, there is still a place where she and her friends are welcome.

But when she receives a black, wax-sealed envelope inviting her to the prestigious Blackwood Academy, she is dragged into a world she never knew existed-a cathedral of vanity, dark magic, and ancient elite families. Blackwood isn't a school. It's a holding cell. And every student is a descendant of the High Houses, sent to pay a dangerous blood tithe to keep their families immortal. Enter Julian Vane. Arrogant, dangerous, and burdened with a dark legacy, he was supposed to be the ultimate sacrifice for the throne. Until Elara walks through the copper gates. Her blood isn't just old-it's the *Original* line, a pulsing violet power that the academy's shadows have been starving for. Suddenly, Julian's salvation depends on Elara's demise. He should hate her. He should hand her over to his ruthless mother on a silver platter. But as the dark entities beneath the school begin to wake, a volatile, unintended tether binds Elara and Julian together. Forced to become allies in a lethal game of survival, they must navigate a court of masked monsters, weeping stone statues, and a terrifying Shadow King. Elara has a choice: take the throne and let the dark consume her, or join forces with the boy who was meant to be her rival... and burn the empire to the ground.

    Gwen Destiny has always felt like she didn't belong-but she never imagined it was because she wasn't fully human. When a dangerous group uncovers the truth about her blood, Gwen is thrown into a world where "luck" is a weapon, minds aren't private, and power comes with a cost. Caught between those who want to use her and those who claim they want to protect her, Gwen quickly learns that trust is fragile-and sometimes deadly. Especially when it comes to Rayce. Powerful, controlled, and hiding more than he lets on, Rayce may be one of the only people who can help her survive... or one of the many she shouldn't trust at all. As secrets unravel and loyalties shift, Gwen is forced to question everything-and everyone-around her. Because the deeper she's pulled into this world, the clearer it becomes: nothing is what it seems. Packed with mystery, high-stakes action, and a slow-burning edge of romance, No Such Luck will keep you guessing until the very end-and make it impossible to put down. Because in a world built on control, Gwen is the one thing no one can predict.

    My mother was the most careful woman I have ever known. She moved us four times before I turned ten. She never let me stay out past dark alone. She taught me to dim my power in public, to never draw attention, to keep my head down and my eyes forward. She died with one word on her lips. Valdris. The most powerful noble family in Vael'Dara. Old money, old magic, old secrets - and apparently, a reason to send four armed men to a fourth-floor apartment in the New District to look for me. Now Lord Valdris himself has shown up at my mother's funeral, stepping out of a vehicle that costs more than everything she ever owned, looking at me like I'm something he misplaced a long time ago. I don't know what my mother knew. I don't know why she ran. I don't know what I am to these people or what they want from me. But I have her last word. And I have time. And I have a power nobody has been able to classify yet. That's enough to start. ASHA: THE HOLLOW CROWN is an urban fantasy novel about blood, power, and the cost of a truth buried long enough to kill for.
