Nobody is born evil. They're only seen as a hero in a different perspective. 

Macey Russells is the moon mage, the reincarnation of a goddess who saved Amberguarde thousands of years ago, harbouring the abilities to manipulate the lunar energy around her. However, due to her anxiety, she has a hard time controlling her magic, using sarcasm and witty jokes to gain a steady mentality. 

Connor Heslington, brother of the famous Overseer Michael, is a future Paladin who is following in the footsteps of his prestigious family. Known only as a cutthroat snake in the grass, he wants to detach himself from the ways of the old, knowing that if his family keep leading with an iron heart, war will ravage Amberguarde. However, he knows that being kind in this world will only get himself killed. 

With rumours of a lingering darkness beckoning on the horizon, the Grendilton Institute starts to prepare for a battle against a hoard of creatures created in the caverns of blackness, led by an unknown industry whose intentions seem to contradict the Citadel of Magics. 

With conflicting intentions towards one another, Macey and Connor both dwell further into the mysteries of the shadows, discovering that Macey is only half of a very complicated puzzle.

For years, dragonkind and humankind had been at war, alternating between short-lived truces and all out warfare. In this age, however, humankind had subdued the proud dragonkind and turned them into slaves. Brands seared into their arms with the mark of a weeping dragon; the symbol of their defeat. Darin vehemently hated the mistreatment of the dragonkind, and when a branded runaway boy crossed his path, he made him his apprentice to protect him. Something had to be done. But in a strange turn of events, Darin found himself the leader of a peculiar band of travelers: His new apprentice, a brooding warrior, and an elven healer. Although he rarely traveled with others, he began to enjoy it as a long-term arrangement as days turned into weeks. Yet Amaredeia was still healing its war-ravaged wounds, and the cries of rebellion and anguish rose again. Could he really continue denying the calls of his apprentice's people?

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series

36 parts Complete

I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)
