Anna Cabbot is both a self-proclaimed ditchwitch and, by flat-lining during an unexpected visit from Death in cardiac ICU, an unwilling necromancer. The latter has her starting her new tenure in Buffalo with more side-eye and less friendship bracelets from the local magical community. Her first real friend - aside from her landlady neighbor - is a selkie named Carson who introduces himself by flopping out of the Niagara River onto her lap. Before that fateful night is out, Anna's a one-woman magical cavalry for the Lady of Lake Erie and knee deep in an adventure she didn't ask for.

Nigel, the Lady of Lake Erie's brother, has gone missing. Anna's urge to help those in need has her - and Carson - diving headfirst into the mystery of Nigel's disappearance. First and foremost is a visit to the Bookkeeper, the top of Buffalo's magical food chain whose fingers are seemingly in every pie worth eating. They closest they come to the elusive Bookkeeper is Jamie Murdock, the hired muscle. Jamie's content to divulge what little he knows about Nigel, but he's more interested in Anna on a personal level, and Anna will have decide if her head and her heart are on the same page when it comes to her interest in him.

And if that's not enough to deal with, Death keeps popping up at inopportune moments, and definitely not just for giggles. Anna's got more mysteries than she knows what to do with, and the few clues she has lead directly to the dark waters of Lake Erie and a bigger, more complicated magic than she's ever seen before - a magic she isn't sure she can handle.

"I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.

Evanora Ravenscroft comes from a long line of a dying race, thought to have long been driven to extinction: the witch race. Fabled in the mage community to be a distant legend of vile, curse ridden demons, the last time a witch was encountered, the world was plunged into the dark ages. But Evanora knows the truth of her people, and she's running out of time. Born as normal, loving people, witches have a rich culture and traditions spanning generations. Bonding for life as teens and having children early in life, they live their lives to the fullest before they begin to forget their families and friends. Most witches become complete amnesiacs by the time they're 25. Along with this amnesia, witches begin to generate and pour magic from their bodies. And continue to do so until they die. The adult amnesiac stops needing sustenance and becomes a purposeless roaming force of nature, drifting where its whim takes it and unintentionally affecting everything in its path, whether positively or negatively. Now 21, Evanora, is running out of time. Each day, the image of her parents wandering into the forest to never be seen again grows fainter, and accidents keep happening around her. In all her race's history, no witch has ever avoided their fate. Her resources are limited, and she's desperate to find a way to stop the corruption. But the only source of knowledge that may help her is the world renowned academy for mages, the magic users that nearly drove her species to extinction... Can she save herself the fate of becoming an empty shell of chaos, or will she lose herself trying to do the impossible?
Vacation in Damnation by gunshyboo
4 parts Ongoing Mature
A year ago, the world was destroyed by ancient gods, summoned by a cabal of wealthy elites who sought to reshape reality. Their dark ritual unleashed vengeful deities who twisted Earth into a nightmarish landscape where magic rules, technology crumbles, and humanity struggles to survive. Familiar places became deadly realms. Forests turned into dark, sentient labyrinths, lakes teemed with krakens, and the skies became the domain of dragons and harpies. Cities either crumbled or transformed into dungeon-like ruins filled with traps and monstrous inhabitants. Survivors cower, avoiding the gaze of mind flayers, beholders, and the undead, while fiendish creatures openly harvest souls for their infernal masters. In this terrifying new world, Marcus Graves, a former soldier turned necromancer, fights to relax. Armed with dark powers, he raises the dead to protect himself against the horrors that roam the earth. But Marcus isn't just trying to survive-he's determined to enjoy the vacation he and his girlfriend, Sarah, had always planned. Tragically, Sarah died on day one of the apocalypse, but Marcus wasn't ready to let their plans fall apart. he resurrected her, but she isn't quite the same. Sarah's a bit slow, her reactions sluggish, and her memories foggy, but she's still the companion Marcus needed for their planned vacation. Together, they travel the nightmare world, visiting the sights they'd always planned to see-despite their now-destroyed state. Whether it's the ruined remains of famous landmarks, crumbling cities, or the corrupted beauty of nature, Marcus and Sarah are determined to check off every destination on their list, finding dark humor in the grim reality around them. Even in a world overrun by gods and monsters, they carry out their now hellish vacation, where survival is the ultimate game, Marcus and Sarah are just trying to kick back and enjoy the ride-even if the world is falling apart around them.

She is an orphan and grew up in a Home for Magical Children on Mage Island, floating in the middle of the Pacific.
