The goblin horde has arrived! Djar's parents have been murdered, his city is occupied and things look worse every day. But there is one small hope: If only he can reach the sorceress Dymorla. The only trouble is, she already has a plan of her own, and it includes snatching a boy from an alternate plane (Earth), and animating an army of zombies to pose as a group of un-dead heroes to fool a powerful group of warrior priests into helping. 

Now what could go wrong with that?

Heart of Sparrow by addison_sweet

A young girl must rely on her estranged father to help her return an Orisha's heart, but as she taps into its power, she finds herself drawn to its dangerous magic. *** Sparrow Winslow discovers an old picture of her late mother with a crooked businessman. Convinced the man is her biological father, she tracks him down and learns more than she bargains for. Not only is he her father, but a vampire, which means she'll be coming into her fangs any day. But complications arise when he also explains her witchy mother stole the heart of an African goddess, enabling her life. Armed with a reincarnated bestie and a ruggedly strict, but dashing Guardian, Sparrow is forced on the run as every supernatural overlord seeks to take the goddess's heart for themselves. The only way to escape this nightmare is to return what her mother stole...her very heart. But that means Sparrow will have to remain a drab and medicated vampire and relinquish her divinely witch nature to the Orisha. Each time she casts a spell, Sparrow tastes her newfound abilities and it's secretly delicious. It isn't long before she fears becoming just like the monsters who are chasing after her heart. Will she sacrifice her ancient power to restore balance? Or will magic consume her good intentions the same way it did her mother?

Raven's School of Magic: Year One by xxHoneyFernxx

MASSIVE REWRITE WARNING!!! (Completed: 5/9/2024) The Dark One is on the move. Never seen, but always there. No one knows their name. No one knows if they're even a person. Some say they have been here since the beginning of time. Others say they appeared over night. One thing is for certain: it must be stopped or all is lost. 'Only the power of a firstborn twin can stop the dark one forever.' This prophecy has been told for centuries. Every child knows it even little Alyssa who has just turned twelve years old and is finally old enough to go to Raven's School of Magic. Her parents are happy for her, but also haunted and protective due to the loss of her twin. For years Ally has been plagued with sudden pain that leaves her unable to move or even scream. Bruises and lashes form on her body and people spread rumors that this was the mysterious power of the twin bond. Is this the case? Is her twin really alive? And is he somewhere suffering at the hands of the dark one? Ally is soon chosen to be entered the good side of magic school as many expected. However, on the same night, a boy from a well-known evil family is chosen to be in the good side as well. Many people believe that this child is chosen by the Dark One to destroy them all. What will Ally do? Will she befriend the boy or will she turn her back on him?

The Envoy of Darkness by maxanonymity

"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next. But as if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread.

In the very far distance, I hear a wolf howl into the night, the sound is haunting, sounding in as much agony as I am in. *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.* Rape, Blood, Secrets, a Cult, Rituals, Sacrifice, Betrayal, Death, and a Tragic Love Triangle is the recipe for a new species yet to be discovered.

Or will she let the darkness consume her into the monster she is foretold to become? *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.* WARNING: This book is Rated R for a reason, there are explicit sexual scenes, mature themes, and provocative language.
