In a land where magic was once the norm, it has taken time for the people to adjust to its absence.

In the eight years since a plague took most of the land's Magi, the people of Darkspur have worked hard to put the dark days behind them. Now, after so long, they can truly say the worst is over. But, as the harvest festival draws to a close an unexpected arrival brings dire news, risking everything the population has worked so hard for. 

All of this means nothing to Sam. Tucked away in a quiet corner of the Kingdom, his only worry in life is wondering when the next Teller will arrive and bring him some new exciting tale of the world beyond. But unknown to the boy his father has a secret, one he should have shared years earlier, one that threatens to tear his whole world apart.All Rights Reserved

Manaia: Tamahine o Te Pō | Daughter of the Night by WahineOTeAo

At thirteen, Manaia of the Sea Tribes expects to receive the elemental blessing of her ancestors. Instead, she is marked by Hine-nui-te-pō, the guardian of death, night, and spirit. Feared and misunderstood, Manaia is exiled from her village, burdened with a power no one dares to name. Years later, wandering between tribes and hiding her true nature, Manaia saves lost spirits in secret, still unsure whether her gift is a curse. When a pale, mist-wrapped patupaiarehe named Tawaroa saves her from a corrupted wairua, their paths entwine. Tawaroa agrees to guide her to Te Ao o Hine, the realm of spirits, where Manaia must finally face the truth of her power and the loneliness it brings. As the bond between them deepens, Manaia begins to understand that death is not something to be feared, but guided. But something is wrong: the spirit realm is fading, and forgotten souls grow restless. Someone, or something, is twisting the old beliefs, severing the sacred ties between the living and the dead. To restore balance, Manaia must embrace the darkness she was born to walk - or risk a world where no soul finds its way home.

Abaddon's Mark by RJ_Price

In the wake of the winter formal, secrets are coming to light. The girl who would be a mage has set herself on a path to learn the magic of the Magi. Therein could lie the answer to her heritage, but her research could also spell her doom. Still unaware of what she is capable of, the students fear Naena more than before. Whispers swirl about her origins, about the Hell magic clinging to her skin, and the liquid magic she wields. But for every action, there is a consequence. Even a spell gone sour affects the world, each calling of power risks also calling a dragon, and for every spurned lover there is a cold shoulder.

Saved By The Alpha by Eternalskies19

[Short Story, a little fast pace] "What are you doing in our territory, rogue?" The man snarls at me. "M-Me no b-bring h-harm." I whimper. The man laughs bitterly at me before grabbing me by the neck harshly. "I don't know what game you're trying to play you vile creature but this whole innocent act is going to get you nowhere." I gasp when he bares his teeth at me. "Don't worry, I'll put you out of your misery." I close my eyes, ready for the pain I was about to receive but...It never came. Instead a thunderous growl was heard from behind me. "What the hell is going on here?" The scary man's eyes widen in fear. "A-Alpha? S-She's a rogue and I was just trying to- "SILENCE!" I knew it recognized that tone. He was the Alpha. "Look at me girl." The guy releases me from his tight grip. Slowly I turn around to meet the eyes of the scary Alpha. I expected him to hit me or yell but he didn't do anything of that. Although what I didn't expect was for him to whisper, "Mate." // Aurora. A girl who's been held captive for years by her abusive Alpha stumbles upon an unknown territory. Where she meets the rigid Alpha who turns out to be her mate. Will she learn to trust him?
