Athena has no one.
Orphaned at the tender age of twelve, she doesn't want anything to do with the Color War; a decades long war being waged between the vicious King of the new world and the magic users of the past. In a realm where a person's eye color directly relates to the magic they can control, Athena's green eyes mark her as the most powerful mage to have been born in centuries - and everyone wants a piece.
Jax has everyone.
Prince of the new world, he has no understanding of the war that rages outside the kingdom walls. After the violent death of his childhood tutor, Jax begins to realize the world around him is slowly spinning into all out chaos - and that he doesn't want to be King if his only legacy is cruelty.
Their fates are inevitably intertwined, and together, Athena and Jax will be forced to face a prophecy that could leave their country in ruin or usher it into a new era of peace.

Magic: Ground Zero [COMPLETED]
A decade and a half after the official fall of the United States of America, regional factions have developed urban towns with a constant government presence.

The Divine Syntax: 108 Sutras of Sacrificial Power
🖋️ Wattpad Story Details: The Divine Syntax 🌟 Title (SEO Optimized) The Divine Syntax: 108 Sutras of Sacrificial Power 📝 Description (Engaging, Philosophical Dark Fantasy) The universe is a lie-not physics, but a Divine Language, a meta-sentence defining all reality. Wielders, Apostles of the Unwritten Testament, rewrite creation's structural sentences. But every miracle is a loan; every power incurs a devastating Karmic Tithe. Ultimate strength demands ultimate suffering. Welcome to Vraja, a city of obsidian faith, where conviction is fuel and doubt is death. Our story follows three Apostles, bound by the rigid, agonizing costs of their Testaments: Kaelen (Black, Spirit Testament): A silent psychic whispering doubt into minds. Her Conceptual Authority relies on crippling Asceticism-total isolation of mind and body. Fuxi (Yellow, Relic Testament): A blind warrior of light and law. His power, from his Light-Container Orb, demands perpetual, soul-straining Vigilance. Pitisukha (Red, Flesh Testament): A walking elemental contradiction, his body a forge of lava and ice. He endures constant, violent agony as Atonement for the mythical duality he wields. When an impossibly reckless Heresy Seal-a Vow so catastrophic it threatens the Divine Language itself-is activated, these three are forced together. They must decide: Is absolute power worth the total annihilation of the self? 🏷️ Tags (High-Volume SEO & Concept Tags) darkfantasy powersystem karmicconsequences spiritual magic antihero jojosbizarreadventure hunterxhunter asianfantasy buddhism martialarts highstakes shifter relic conceptual superpowers vows suffering sacrifice epicfantasy morallygrey 🎯 Genre / Category Primary: Fantasy Secondary: Action Thematic: Spiritual / Philosophical 🧑🤝🧑 Target Audience Readers enjoying sophisticated, rule-based magic systems and morally complex, gray characters.

Dance in Shadow and Whisper (Marionettes of Myth #1)
Kali has always been obedient, but when she takes her first step onto a protected “humans only” high school in suburban Pittsburgh, she knows she was the wrong choice for this mission. Ever since the murder of her parents when she was too young to remember, she’s been sheltered – and trained. She can swing a sword with expert precision, but studying popular human teen magazines hasn’t taught her how to masquerade as seventeen years old. Jason is the target of the mission. She and Yuuhi, who was also designated by his own people to be her partner, must find solid proof that Jason is, in fact, a supernatural phenomenon. Yuuhi sees little more than a socially inept emo kid dressed in conflicting shades of black, but Kali only touches Jason’s hand, and she feels the sting of something dark and deadly. Jason’s shadow is bigger than he is, and if the leaders of Yuuhi’s people find out, Jason won’t be human much longer. The goal of the mission is to protect him, but Kali will find that the only way she can do just that is to break every rule she’s been conditioned to follow. She’ll have to learn how to disobey. Beginning with Kali’s point of view and then shifting to the eyes of other characters, the Marionettes of Myth series introduces Pittsburgh as a superhuman metropolis, a world both wild and conquered by the monsters buried in its seams and darkest shadows. And those monsters will be watching her. ♦ Completed! ♦ [Copyright © 2013 Sarah Godfrey & Victoria DeRubeis] (All current books in the series are available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle format.
