In the country of Elenktis, a nation ruled by a corrupt oligarchy, the practical use of magic is outlawed, so thaumaturges, those who study magic, are muted and imprisoned, while the Vdelgma, those born with magic, are sent to concentration camps. We follow the story of Lady Morgan, one of the Oligarchs who wishes to route out the corruption and return magic to it's former standing, Jade, a vdelgma seeking revenge for the deaths of her family members, Varix, the son of Lord Van Winter who works in the shadows to free Vdelgma and Thaumaturges, and Malcolm, a mute thaumaturge who illegally heals the poorfolk for a small amount of coin to support himself and his brother. They will all come together under the same cause, making the world right again.

"My name is Linetta." I said smiling back, but then my smile faltered. "How did you get here, and where are you from?" "I started to explore Prythian, without my parents escorting me. Ive finally made it to the end- The Spring Court." I looked at him confused. "I used my powerful magic to get in here." He answered my look grinning, wiggling his fingers mockingly. I rolled my eyes. "You still haven't answered one of my questions, where are you from? What court? If you're part of one anyway." "I am from the Night Court, and I can only presume that you're part of the Spring Court." I knew exactly who he was then, and he was powerful. I heard my father speak to Lucien about the dangers of 'Feyre and Rhysands son." and if he ever came here. The only information I could get was that he was powerful, really powerful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DISCLAIMER! *Some oComplete

Eternal: Azriel
Eternal: (adj.) Lasting or existing forever; without end or beginning Athanasia never complained about her situation. She never felt like she had the right to. A random event leads her to befriend a small boy. A boy that she believed she would never see again. His situation was heartbreaking, she knew that there are others that are more unfortunate just like him. However, this one encounter changes everything she expected of herself, gave her freedom when the world only wants to swallow her up. --- "Why are you doing this? Why are you befriending me? Though we met five hundred years ago, why do you still bring me into your life? So much can happen in that many years but instead of staying with your friends or finding other things to do, you're with me. Why?" I ask again. Though I don't like being so forward, I can't help it. I'm scared to hurt him. He shifts his gaze to me. His hazel eyes gleam into my blue ones as if he knows something that I don't. "You're right. I had five hundred years, five hundred years to stay with my friends and five hundred years to find other hobbies." He pauses, taking in breath. "But I had five hundred years without you, we only had two weeks together. And those two weeks were the best I've ever had. That's why I want to continue them-with you, Athy." --- Disclaimer: All ACOTAR characters and plot belong to Sarah J. Maas. My characters and scenes are my own work.Complete
A court of blood and darkness(Nyx x OC)
Khalissa was born in the depths of the woods, surrounded by darkness and shadows. The only times when she left her home were when she was called by the Witch Queen to give her a new mission, always the same:kill. She lives in her own world,isolated between the walls of another, yet she doesn't know it. For her kind, having a beating heart means weakness and nothing more, and with her mixed lineage, the task of hidding everything she fells it's almost unbeareble. One day, she meets the heir of the Night Court, the warrior with a snarky smile and saphire eyes, and that's when she realizes the walls she built along the years might be a prison as much as they are a protection. With a new war coming, Khalissa is torned between the darkness she grew with, and the light she came to love. ~Nyx x OC ~takes place 200 hundred years after ACOSF
