The crime of witchcraft carries a death sentence, of course. And since Yanna is a heretic temple-robber as well as a heathen magic-worker, she cannot expect any mercy - all that the execution waited on is finding a way to kill the witch safely.
But that is no simple thing.
After all, how can a smoke witch be burned?
They could bleed her, perhaps - but witchblood poisons the earth and sinks in to make the groundwater toxic too. No, too risky, in this drought.
They could order her buried and stoned - but demons rise where a witch's life is struck out - and there had been one visiting the city's wall ever since the day she was captured...

Voided Lovers (Book One)
In a world where demi-humans are enslaved, silenced, and erased, Ravenna a bunny eared witch born of chains rises through the ranks of an elite magical university using nothing but raw talent, ancient incantations, and unyielding will. When rumors of Xandros reach her-a cold, reclusive mage who turns away all students-she sees not danger but destiny. What binds them is not kindness. It's survival. What grows between them is not just love it's fury, loyalty, and shared scars. But as their bond deepens, something ancient begins to stir. The Black Mist, once a catastrophe of magic gone awry, sealed by a forgotten god, wakes again. Not because they summoned it, but because they are exactly what it's been waiting for. They did not cause the Mist. But they will feed it. And in its shadow, they will become more than lovers... They will become a force the world can no longer deny.Concluida

Kissed By Darkness
Danika lived a charmed life. She had four walls to call home, three square meals a day, and two loving parents who gave her everything she could ever need. The next step was clear: apply to the prestigious Celestial Academy and secure her future. She'd done everything right-until the Inferno decided otherwise. In the middle of her graduation ceremony, the mark appeared-burned into her skin for all to see. The mark of the Inferno. A claim she never asked for and could never escape. Now, torn from the life she knew and thrust into a world ruled by fire and shadow, Danika must fight to survive. Her only hope lies in the very mark she despises-one that makes her both hunted and desired. Its power calls to three Demon Lords who each want to claim her as their own. Can Danika endure the darkness rising within and around her-or will the Demon Lords destroy the last light left in her soul?
Forbidden Fixation
The warm blood envelopes me. The feel of it is thick and sticky, I roll onto my belly, pushing back my hair, which are also drenched in blood. I kick my feet in the air as I lick at my fingers. Suddenly I feel as if something had been ripped off of me, leaving me feeling empty. That's when a tall, handsome, muscular man materialises before me. I smile, biting my lower lip. "Ashar." He looks down at me, I kneel before him, closing my thighs like I good girl. I look up at him through my eyelashes and watch as a devilish grin stretches across his face. He hooks his finger around my chin, forcing me to lift my head up at him. He bends down, leaning in close and I feel my body jump in anticipation of his touch. I don't remember anything, I just know he makes me feel really good. I want to feel really good. -.-.-.-.- What happens when a djinn who was assigned to kill her, falls insanely in love with her. Nothing less than a complete disaster, a painful one.Concluida

The Taste of Iron
Humanity is struggling to survive in a world that's no longer theirs. Liv, a scavenger leading missions to the edges of the city for food, medicine, and iron, knows things are getting worse. Every trip feels more desperate than the last. Humanity has an expiration date-the forest, and the creatures that dwell there, just have to wait them out. When a mission turns out to be a trap and Liv wakes up on the wrong side of the tree line-alone, disoriented, and for some reason not dead-she learns the forest doesn't just kill people or take their souls. It changes them. She doesn't know what she's becoming. Only that it's something way stronger than what she was. And that killing things never felt this good. Murderbot meets The Cruel Prince-with a whole lot of psychological horror My entry for onc2025, based on prompt 125: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank HerbertConcluida
