When Viola Endris was eight years old, her parents sent her to live with her aunt, a steward in the royal palace. As a steward's apprentice, Viola lives a life of in-betweens - able to transverse classes between commoners, craftworkers, nobility, and royality. Viola's liminal status and disposition of curiosity allow her to discover the deep truths and secrets of those around her. She learns that a member of the royal family bears the Aethran gifts - extraordinary abilities to understand, influence, and alter the physical and spiritual realms. The descendants of the beings called the Aether also bear a liminal status: revered and envied yet deeply mistrusted and feared. 

As Viola grows from childhood to maturity, she begins to unravel the complexities of the lives of those around her. Above all, Viola seeks understanding of the liminal spaces: between ignorance and understanding, between power and surrender, between life and death. She lives this life of curiosity to its fulfillment, all the while blissfully unaware of the deal she struck with the God of her ancestors so very long ago.All Rights Reserved

DARK HORIZON by wenmaw

A realm on the brink of war. A bond that threatens to consume them both. Cora's life takes a dangerous turn when she's thrust into a world of secrets and magic. Mistaken for a fae, her blood is thought to hold the power to restore balance to a crumbling realm. The first thing she learns when she's captured: never trust a dragon. Ash has always known what it means to be feared. He comes from the Third Kingdom, the only realm where dragons remain awake inside their bonded. Considered little better than beasts, the people of the Third live in isolation, training to control the instincts and will of the creature that lives inside them. Alone in the Outlands, he never expected to find a fae. Especially not one like her. When her cry shatters the forest, he understands the instinct that drives him to her side. What he does not anticipate is how fiercely he will have to fight the beast that already sees her as its own. With witches whispering of prophecy and a dark king determined to bring about a new era of ruin, they must choose: fight the fate that binds them or risk becoming the very force that brings the realm to ruin. Because the longer they travel together, the harder it becomes to tell where Ash ends and the dragon begins.

Scars of Gold by makexbelieve

When Kacia discovers the forbidden magic running through her veins, she is given a choice - pretend her powers belong to her worst enemy, and use them to help him cement his claim to the throne - or forfeit her life. Can she play along for long enough to plot Ash's downfall, or is their fake truce about to turn into something a lot more complicated? ✨ Throughout fifteen years of Lathrian rule, Kacia has dreamt only of her family and her freedom. After she braves a storm-tossed mountainside in search of reunion with a mother she hasn't seen for a decade, she discovers that she has the power to mimic the magic of others - an ability that sees her sentenced to death by the Lathrian Kingdom which controls her people. That is, until the Lathrian king demands she uses her powers to legitimise his stepson's claim to the throne. If she agrees, she can keep her life - for now. Kacia becomes caught between the volatile brothers she didn't know existed and a prince who is more sympathetic than he seems. The choice she makes, between violent rebellion or slow moving negotiations, might alter the fates of her people - but only if she can decide before the bargain that prolonged her life runs out. Family and freedom may be the things Kacia wanted most, but to gain one she might have to sacrifice the other.

The Magic Within by DragonStaplerxx

Alaric has always felt out of place in his small village, but everything changes when an unexpected event awakens a dormant power within him. Thrust into the ancient and mysterious Eldewood, he begins a journey of self-discovery and magical training under the guidance of the enigmatic wizard Vesperius. As he learns to control the magic coursing through him, Alaric discovers that he is no ordinary wizard-he is a vessel for a long-lost, ancient power that many would do anything to control. As Alaric faces trials that test not only his magical abilities but his courage and resolve, he begins to uncover hidden truths about the forces vying for his power. Enemies both seen and unseen lurk in the shadows, and Alaric soon realizes that his destiny is bound to something far greater-and far darker-than he ever imagined. He must navigate treacherous alliances, the constant threat of betrayal, and the unrelenting pressure to master the magic inside him before those who seek to use it for their own destructive ends succeed. In this epic tale of magic, danger, and self-discovery, Alaric must find the strength to rise above the challenges before him and choose the path that will determine not only his future but the fate of the world itself. The Magic Within is a story of transformation, of learning to wield power responsibly, and of confronting the darkness within and around us.

The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen.

Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood.
