noun /ˈtō-skə/ - Russian - a sensation of spiritual anguish, often without any cause
In a world full of magic, anything that lacks the enchanting quality is seen as a threat or as a skill. Magicae run the world, but they don't stand a chance to the gan draiochta, the rare people without and immune to magic.
When the country is under a threat that magic can't stop, three young women are asked to put an end to it. Esen, a self-trained thief and fighter, Xenia, the mercenary warrior, and Rosemary, an innocent, merchant's daughter, the three gan draiochta who support the fate of their country.
Trust issues, hard pasts, and a charismatic enemy stand in their way. Will the three bind together to overcome the obstacles? Or does a fate far worse than anyone expected await?

Witchbound 1
In a small, seemingly ordinary town, Selene has always felt like she's just another face in the crowd. Her life revolves around the typical high school experiences-hanging out with friends, navigating the ups and downs of teenage life, and managing the constant buzz of schoolwork and daily routines. To the outside world, it's a life like any other, filled with the usual moments of frustration and joy. Yet, beneath the surface of this mundane existence lies a hidden world, one that Selene never could have imagined. Magic, mystical creatures, and ancient forces have quietly coexisted with her reality, just out of sight. It's a world governed by secrets, where the extraordinary is concealed by the normal. When Selene's life unexpectedly takes a turn, she is drawn to Eldermyst Academy, an ancient, secluded institution that holds the key to her true potential. The academy is a place far removed from her small-town life, a place where the supernatural is a part of everyday existence. Here, Selene begins to uncover her own latent powers, powers that have been dormant for years. The stark contrast between her once predictable world and the strange, mystical realm she enters becomes the foundation for her transformation. As she explores secret locations, encounters creatures beyond imagination, and navigates the complexities of magical realms, Selene begins to realize that her journey isn't just about surviving the chaos of two worlds colliding-it's about mastering the forces within herself, understanding the legacy that runs through her veins, and coming to terms with the power she holds. Each challenge she faces, each discovery she makes, takes her further away from the life she knew, and closer to a destiny that was always waiting for her.Complete![The Realms [Watty 2017 Shortlist]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/85684312-256-k980109.jpg)
