fantasy ink king magic mentor mystery school secrets

Lauriel Manken is an ordinary sixteen-year-old girl--that is, until her entire world is turned upside down in a single moment of time. Her days of peace are stripped in an instant, forcing Lauriel into a situation outside of her control and far beyond the realm of familiarity. Now, alongside her mysterious,  eccentric mentor, new friends, and her loving parents (who are clearly hiding something), Lauriel must explore the secrets of the Inksmiths, a group of trained magicians wielding ink as their weapon, while attempting to become one of them in time to save her kingdom of Alavan.

Caught between secrets, lies, and magic, Lauriel is left with only her wits and her unshakable trust in others to help keep her from a grisly death at the hands of an enemy she still doesn't understand.

Together with her companions-clever Mary, loyal Daniel, mischievous Peter, and steadfast Louise-she dives into potion-making, flying lessons, and the wonders of magical history. But beneath the school's shimmering halls lies a hidden secret. In the quiet shadows of the library, Luna discovers an ancient book of magic, one that once belonged to her great-grandparents-renowned wizards whose legacy was thought to be lost.

As battles rage and alliances are tested, Luna learns that her family's past is tied to a future darker than she could ever imagine. But with courage, friendship, and a spark of love blooming between her and Louise, she may yet become the witch her ancestors dreamed of-and the one the world desperately needs. Mystery, romance, and magic intertwine in this spellbinding tale of friendship and destiny.

Becoming Her Dark Side by CHURCHILLCYRIL

They lied to me. My own family. My so-called friends. All of them hiding the truth, that we're tied to the criminal underworld, a forte where my family, the Storms, are the undisputed kings. Then everything falls apart. My dad gets framed. My cousin ends up dead. And the boy I've had a childhood crush on-Nathaniel-turns out to be the one who could destroy me. At least Luke, the one person I shouldn't want, fights to keep me from breaking... but even he has secrets. But it's gets even worse, because now an organization is rising from the shadows, an organization that opposes everything my family stands for. And in a family of warmongers and sociopaths, I stood out as a glaring weakness. The most normal, the most vulnerable, and the most efficient way to end a dynasty that has ruled for centuries. Because what is a throne without an heir, and a crown without its king. So here I am, stuck in a game of blood and betrayal where the only way to survive is to stop being the fragile girl they thought I was. If I have to burn bridges, spill blood, and embrace the monster inside me, then so be it. Because this time, I'm not running from my darkness. I'm becoming it.

Scion Of The Enchanter: Call Of Fate by Atharva1234

Fourteen-year-old Alen's world collapses when he suspects betrayal from his closest friend-or so he believes, thanks to a spell cast by a hidden elf and a trap created by his classmate. But the truth is even more astonishing: Alen is not just a smart teen from Clathen City. He's a secret sorcerer-and the prince of Arthen, a magical kingdom on the distant planet Noan in the Orion constellation. His friends-loyal Nick, witty Brook, brilliant Lily, and bold, sharp-tongued Sophia-are shocked to learn the truth. But their lives change forever when Alen's grandfather, the Archmage and King of Arthen, summons them to his world. There, staffs and relics called Acranums channel power, a ship fly beneath twin moons through space along with an invisible sky-corridor, market floating in mid-air, bustling with talking birds and enchanted goods, and beaches that shift colors with every hour. A sentient Lorehouse demands riddles to unlock ancient books. Most powerful of all are the Ancient Acranums-enchanted relics of immense magical strength. These artifacts choose the teens to become Arthen's youngest warriors. But danger looms beneath the wonder. The previous warriors perished searching for a prophecy tied directly to the new ones. Alen is mysteriously forbidden from using magic. A cold-eyed Minister of Defense is plotting treason. Eldric, the all-knowing Grandmage, is hiding secrets. And Sophia is haunted by visions of Echo the Invincible-an unseen, ancient force tied to the Acranums and her past. As friendships fracture and war brews, the teens must train under the mysterious Mystic, Arthur Lucian, and master the power of their Acranums: a magical bow, a ring that commands air, a crystalline sword, and the haunted Arm Bracers of the Echo. With time running out, they must uncover the broken bond, the truths in the kingdom-and choose whether to fight for Arthen against the rival Stygain.

Heir of Charms by mollylavenza

Destruction. In a family of healers who save, all I do is destroy. My enforced solitude is for my own safety as well as that of the world, or so my mother tells me. When the boy next door beckons, I can't help but sneak out to forge a friendship with him. Loneliness leads me to defy my family, but desperation prevails when I discover that the grounds of his private academy hold a secret that could help me learn why my ability is so disastrous . . . or push me to create a catastrophe that will bring only death and destruction. *** Merith Leigh has decided to give herself the best sixteenth birthday present ever: freedom. She's spent the last two years in silent communication with Taran, the boy next door, and his encouragement to meet him beyond their bedroom window views has tempted her to finally break free of her family's bonds. With a leap of faith, she trusts Taran with her future, and he takes her to meet his friends at his private academy, where a secret society that studies magic lurks with secrets of their own. Can Taran and his classmates help her discover why she carries the gift of destruction rather than her family's skill at healing, or will their association prove deadly?

The Girl In The Mirror by HonoraryAvenger

As a child, Freya Carson would spend her summers at her grandmother's forest cabin, picking berries, going to the lake, playing outside and ending the nights listening to her grandmothers story of another world, where princesses and knights lived. Her grandmother always told her that one day she could visit that world. All she had to do was go to the mirror in the attic, close her eyes and walk through. As she got older she stopped believing that the mirror in the attic was magical, and gave up on her dreams of fantasy worlds to focus on high school. Freya Carson is going to be a senior at North Valkyrie High School. And her life is about to change forever. With news of her grandmothers sudden death, she heads to the cabin with her parents and sister to clean it out and get it ready to sell before the school year starts. While cleaning, her and her sister Nora are stuck with the attic, and stumble upon the mirror. When the mirror suddenly starts glowing and sucks them both in, they find themselves in a whole other world, just like the stories they heard as children. They find it's nothing like how they remember it, as the two kingdoms of Fiore and Arcadia are at war, and they're caught right in the middle. Together they are saved by a mysterious female knight, and they head out to stop the war that could threaten and destroy the human and fantasy worlds forever.

The Prophecy by lspearson

Ariella's biggest desire in life has always been such a simple one. She wants to be 'normal.' Unfortunately, that one simple wish has never been within her grasp. Coming from a long line of witches is bad enough, but she's even more different than the rest of her family. The fact that no one will give her any answers to why she's so different doesn't help matters. Her entire existence is shrouded in secrets that everyone around her refuses to reveal. After a family tragedy, she moves to a new town, and she gets her first chance to at least pretend to be 'normal.' For the first time, she's allowed to leave the house and go to an actual school. She makes friends, and she develops her first crush, that's quickly followed by her second. She's finally living the normal teenage life she'd dreamed of, but it doesn't last. Everything she believed about herself and the world around her is changed in an instant. Family secrets come to light one after another, turning her entire world upside down in the process. She quickly realizes that sometimes ignorance really is bliss, and maybe she didn't really want to know the answers to the questions she'd always asked, especially when one of these truths causes people close to her to turn their backs on her without hesitation. Before she can even recover from the shock, she's thrust into a war that she hadn't even known existed. Loyalties will be tested. She'll have to choose sides between all of the people she's come to care about. Will she stand with her family, her new friends, or the two boys who both hold a piece of her heart? One thing is for sure. She'll have to let go of her dream of 'normal.'
