The cursed land. A prison to throw those who people in power want gone - and not coming back through reincarnation. Raviel could not stop his brother from being banished to this realm, but after 10 long years of magical research he finally has the means to go after him and bring him home. If only finding him in the land infested by monsters - and often by men and women not much better - were that easy.

Heavily inspired by Ravenloft books and the themes of Witcher 3 video game, so if you like either, at least give it a try. Feedback, both positive comments and constructive criticism, is very welcome.

WARNING: I would not quite classify this as "mature adults only" - personally I read Ravenloft books in middle school -, but it does get pretty creepy at times. If creepy isn't your thing, you might want to wander elsewhere.All Rights Reserved

Forbidden Love || Draco Malfoy by itzmy_taetae

Being Harry Potter's twin sister came with it's challenges. It wasn't until Harry's fourth year that you were introduced to the Wizarding World. Quite late seeing as your brother had the privilege to attend first. However, the biggest surprise had to be being sorted into the Slytherin house. Stories untold, secrets hidden, love that is scared to be born amidst all the events happening. Choosing your friends wisely seems to be the priority your brother has set as a standard. Warning: As the story progresses there will be mature and dark elements mentioned. Feedback is greatly appreciated and I would also love to see what you guys think about the plot as it progresses. As of writing this I will try and publish about 2-3 chapters a week.

Flight by Linnaeus_Writer

Book 1 of the Land of Green and Gold Trilogy Escape. That had been Max's goal since the day he and his little sister, Lucy, had been torn from their mother and sold to a new master. A goal that would whisk Lucy away from the hard labor, skimpy meals, and cruelty of the taskmaster. But the opportunity never arose. Then one day magic-a thing of stories, of something humans had stifled long ago-returns, and all Elder are given the mysterious command to travel to the unheard-of Land of Green and Gold. Chaos erupts as slaves use their new powers to escape. Max and Lucy plan their escape as well. Night comes. And everything goes wrong. To Max's horror, Lucy is randomly selected to be beaten-a warning to those considering flight. Max escapes with his friend, Mary, instead, and they hide on the outskirts of the master's land to wait until Lucy is healed enough to flee. Then, a botched rescue mission and gun injury later, Max finds himself running even further away from his sister to rush Mary to a nearby Elder haven for help. During their stay at the haven, Max is confronted with a new problem; a chest-squeezing, cold-raking fear of the taskmaster hunts him. The hunt creeps into his nightmares and disconnects him from the shadows he should be able to control. And no magic means no way to save Lucy. As the nightmares grow worse and the arrival of a serial killer further complicates things, Max fights to grow in his powers and overcome the hunt of fear. He will save Lucy. Even if it costs him his life.

Kingdom of the Zodiac by SBLoveAuthor

The locals had warned me that no one in their right mind would enter the North Woods alone, not unless they had a death wish. It's a good thing then that I am not in my right mind. Fear had prevented me from returning to this place for years, but the nightmares depriving me of sleep threatened to steal what little sanity I had left, leaving me with no other choice than to confront the source of my apprehension. I was tired of pretending that everything was ok. That I was ok. I needed the nightmares to stop. But in order for that to happen, I needed to uncover my lost memories. The North Woods held answers, of that much I was certain. So here I stand, ready to face my past. If only I could get my legs to move. **FIRST DRAFT - UNEDITED **

Of Thatch and Vine by SarahBeth9009

Sometimes fate brings you exactly what you need before you even realize it. *** Brigid Kelly has lost everything and no amount of spells or wishes stopped it. After her Gran fell ill and passed away, Brigid wasn't able to keep her grandmother's metaphysical shop going. With everything crashing down around her, Brigid buys a one-way ticket to the land of her ancestors, hoping to find solace in the old cabin where her Gran grew up. Ireland is everything she was always told it was and then some. As she sorts out the slowly declining house in the woods, she's thrust into the path of handsome Torin Boyle by circumstance. The walls she's built up around her heart are slowly chipped away as Torin reveals pieces of himself as well, opening not only his home but his heart too. Torin Boyle has spent the last thirty-odd years living in the North of Ireland, running through the rolling hills with his friends. As a pack of wolf Shifters in a country that has no natural wolves, Torin has learned to keep a tap on his inner emotions to protect those he loves. But his homeland is dying; small patches of forest turning brown and dry. When a witch appears on his family's land out of nowhere, he's concerned that the witch is to cause for what's been happening to the land. He never expected to feel pulled into her orbit so completely. Brigid's idyllic life comes to a halt when Torin's father falls ill, closely followed by other members of the Shifter's family. The land around them - the very land where Brigid's ancestors lived - is dying. If Brigid and Torin can't figure out how to fix it, she might not be the only one losing those she loves. **Trigger Warnings - mentions of hospitals and death/cancer; loosing loved ones**

The Phoenix's Fire by 0JewelsWolf0

Welcome to the Unknown Kingdom; the Bewitched Kingdom. A land that doesn't just flourish with magic but ruled with it. Phoenix is seventeen, granted entry to the most prostates school in the land; The Magic Academy. But Phoenix isn't all as she seems. Neither are the teens she meet. They all hold secrets. They all are powerful. And one force lurks in the shadows unbeknownst to everyone. Will they work together despite their clear differences or will they all fall apart? AN: Yes their is LGBTQ+ in this story so reader's beware. It is also not the main focus but in enough light that if you don't like it don't comment about it or read it for that mater. I'm a writer and I write what I think would make a good story and feel good to write about. I will say this, I'm not vary good at spelling or grammar but I do my best. I can say one thing! I can make one hell of a story when I put my mind two it! (Even if that story has mistakes and needs many more rereads for corrections, add-ons, and take outs.) Reviews are appreciated. If you like one part or dislike another give some feed back. I just don't appreciate haters. Feed back is not hate! It is what you think could do better or if something is good just the way it is. Have a nice read ~Jewels Wolf

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

Blood and Thunder by KyleWilliamUrban

You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister. But she isn't here. You panic and look around, you stop. You remember. She too was taken, you are alone. For now. This is what happened to Alexander, his life has just been turned upside down. The year is 2415, the world has both evolved and devolved. It isn't how people imagined. Flying cars, robots in every house, telekinetic pencils. No, they are only in comic books. Self driving cars. No robots in houses, but workhouses instead. Telekinetic pencils... that's possible, if you are gifted with the power of telekinesis. There are dark truths hidden behind closed doors, that only few know. Truths that if they got out, would bring the downfall of the government. A government that has been deceiving people for generations. But they haven't been as careful as they thought, because 100 years ago, one guy found out their secrets. 100 years ago, one guy started the rebellion that would bring about the end. From burning books, rewriting history and breaking human rights, this government will stop at nothing to make it seem that they are doing good. But people have had enough, the secret came out before. It's only a matter of time until it happens again. This time by a group of people that no one expected. Together they work to find out the truth, but things have gotten worse over the last century and this may not only bring around the downfall of the government. Armed only the powers they were born with, the group do everything they can to discover the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But many have tried and failed, do they really stand a chance? Alexander doesn't think so, but his main concern is finding his sister, Rosia.

My Stolen Jewel by Roseheartisbored

Jacob, an abusive, jealous, and manipulative man, just cannot seem to impress his ex in front of his new partner. Rather, he can't win him back. In the City of New Lunadia, where people are hybrids of humans and "spirits" such as wolves, zombies, or elemental forces of nature, there are two of them who's lives are about to change. Elli Fox, a 21-year old telepathic vampire who is also a famous popstar, Sunny Fox, Elli's wife, a 21-year old shadow spirit with powers of infliction, teleportation, and increased strength, and Noah Woodson, a 21-year-old empath with the power of light manipulation and creation. They were highschool friends who hadn't seen each other since college. One day, they bump into eachother at a party. Noah uses whatever chance he gets to tell Elli about everything, but also, to confess about how he truly feels about his friend. Elli and Sunny keep him their little secret. Elli loves Noah so much and wouldn't wanna see him get hurt. But it doesn't stay a secret for long. Hearts are broken, sparks fly, and most importantly, fists are thrown. This story will occasionally be edited, as I may not like how things sound over time. I am progressively getting better at writing smut. If you read this book again and notice some changes, don't worry! I'm just trying to make it better. I wrote this about a year ago and I have grown a lot since then. This book contains LGBTQIA+ relationships, people, and detailed sexual scenes. If you are against the LGBTQIA, i suggest you read another book and leave no hate. Because you don't have to. Thank you!
