THELONIA ROOKWOOD IS CURSED WITH UNLUCKINESS. Literally.
Cursed with bad luck at a young age, Thea is a black mark on the Rookwood family tree. To save themselves from any further embarrassment, Ma and Pa Rookwood cart Thea off to The Academy of The Arts as a last ditch effort to coax out "The Touch"- the magical ability to produce powerful charms that the Rookwood's are infamous for. But her curse strikes again and, banished from The Academy with only the clothes on her back, Thea sets off to find the one sorcerer who can end this hex. If only she can just convince an enigmatic and mysterious thief and his small trio of nomads, the last people rumoured to know the sorcerer's location, to help her find the way.
Yet something more sinister is rumbling in the distance as an ancient evil reawakens. And Thea's ragtag crew may have a bigger part to play than any of them could have ever imagined.

It tickled a bit. "Just one kiss to break the spell." ************** Casey Williams has always sort of believed in magic, but not for the childish reasons most people do.

Silver Flames (Victor Rookwood X FemaleMC)
'Elvira,' Victor whispered her name like a curse in a low growl, his lips brushing against her skin. His breath was hot and uneven, and she could feel the tension between them. 'I wanted to kill you,' Victor rasped, as his lips traced her neck. His fingers tightened around her waist, pulling her closer. "You've ruined everything. My business, my plans." His lips moved along the delicate curve of her jaw and over her ear. 'Yet, all I can think about is how much I want to be inside you,' Victor whispered roughly, his confession dark and unrestrained. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Elvira Blackwood, a sharp-witted Ravenclaw with a voice as enchanting as her magic, is used to being the 'Nightsong of Hogsmeade,' a performer beloved by her friends and fellow wizards. But after a mysterious encounter with the enigmatic Victor Rookwood, her life is thrust into a whirlwind of intrigue, danger, and forbidden magic. Drawn into the shadowy secrets of her family's past, Elvira must uncover the truth about a powerful, ancient locket and the curse tied to her bloodline. As tensions rise between her and her closest allies at Hogwarts, and an unexpected connection with Rookwood deepens, Elvira is caught between loyalty and temptation. Can she untangle the mysteries of the Silverflame before it consumes her and those she loves? A tale of dark magic, dangerous alliances, and a slow-burning romance. Will Elvira uncover the truth or fall victim to the flames?
