"Don't ever stare too long into the darkness. You never know what might be staring back."

In the hidden, shadowy corners of London, witches practise their magic in secret. Threaded through the ordinary world lies an intricate occult society, rich with midnight markets, psychic clairvoyants and potion sellers. 

In the centre of London resides the Hawthorne family; one of the eldest witching families in England. Seventeen-year-old Thea Hawthorne lives alone in the bustling metropolis, living on money sent to her from her travelling psychic mother.

But a dark, twisted power is beginning to pollute the heart of the city. There are those who wield the powers of dreams and demons; an insidious force of blood and shadows and fear. Something sinister has clawed its way up from the bowels of darkness, something with power unlike anything ever seen before.

The Whispering Shadows by fab_writes

When a group of four friends embarks on a weekend trip to an abandoned mansion deep in the countryside, they expect adventure, laughter, and perhaps a few scares for fun. The Hawthorne Estate, infamous for its tragic history and eerie rumors, seems like the perfect destination for Amanda, the group's thrill-seeker. But what begins as an innocent getaway quickly turns into a descent into terror. As they explore the mansion, the friends discover that the house is far more than just a crumbling relic. Locked doors, shadowy figures, and disembodied whispers hint at a sinister presence lurking within the walls. An old journal reveals a chilling tale of a vengeful spirit trapped in the house after a botched ritual centuries ago. One by one, the mansion begins to unravel their minds, exposing their fears, secrets, and weaknesses. Strange phenomena escalate, and the friends soon realize they are not just visitors-they are prisoners. The house seems alive, manipulating time and space, ensuring no escape. Tensions rise as the group fractures under the weight of paranoia and supernatural interference. When one of them disappears, the survivors must unravel the mansion's dark secrets before it claims them all. Their only chance at survival lies behind a locked door in the basement, where the origin of the curse-and the malevolent force-awaits. In a climactic confrontation, they face the horrifying truth: the Hawthorne Estate feeds on fear, despair, and betrayal. The spirit's wrath is unrelenting, and the friends must decide whether to fight or succumb to the darkness. With an ambiguous ending that blurs the line between escape and doom, The Whispering Shadows explores the fragility of trust, the weight of guilt, and the inescapable power of the past. I hope everyone will like this story ❤️✨

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
