Heiress by day, thief by night, Nix Seddiki expects to become a blood mage, like all her ancestors before her. When she discovers her talent lies in necromancy- forbidden to all but royalty- she is equally baffled and delighted. 

When her secret is discovered, the king offers an ultimatum. Use her skills to steal priceless and powerful relics on his behalf, or hang for treason. 

Together with the court executioner and a beautiful illusionist, Nix must discover what the king is planning, and if he can be stopped.

A Dance in the Dark (Book 1) by JhulyxOliveira
77 parts Ongoing
[ magic, romance and madness. ] Everyone knew that a romance between a guardian and their protégé always ended in tragedy - yet they risked it. One day, I read that in real-life fairy tales, the princess sometimes needs to befriend the dragon and kill the prince, perhaps not to the most extreme extent, considering the prince's utility. (*Wink*). Twenty years had passed since the demise of the last living descendant bearing the bloodline of a potent family within the mystical realm. Individuals who possessed magic more formidable than anyone could have fathomed and that very magic could be pilfered if they were to meet an untimely end-a rumour ignited like wildfire. Word began to spread about the sole surviving member of the Lysion family, the last vestige of a lineage renowned for their blessings from the gods (or, as some argue, their curses), once no more than bedtime tales for children. Two decades earlier, a game of hide and seek unfolded that culminated in the death of the final Lysion at the hands of Oldo Blake, a formidable figure in the annals of history. Or so the story goes. An obscure girl. A concealed secret. A relentless pursuit. With a motley crew of bewildering Other Siders on her trail and an absolute dearth of knowledge on how to harness her precious magic, Rosélina Johnson's life transformed from that of an inconspicuous university student to that of a fugitive in the mystic realm, utterly unprepared for what lay ahead.

She was ordered to kill. He was ordered to protect. Are their souls destined to intertwine? In a world where magic is forbidden, two of the deadliest people are about to collide. Talia Nightshade is a ruthless assassin with a singular mission: kill the last heir of the Crescent Moon Dynasty, whose bloodline holds the key to unimaginable power. Darius Graves, the enigmatic Guardian, who is sworn to protect the realm from all threats-even those that come cloaked in beauty and darkness. As their paths cross in a deadly game of cat and mouse, the lines between duty and desire begin to blur. Talia is prepared to kill without hesitation, and the only thing standing in her way is Darius. But Darius is unlike any challenge she's had to face before-dangerous, cunning, and maddeningly irresistible. Bound by their conflicting missions and haunted by the secrets of their pasts, they find themselves drawn into a web of bloodshed and betrayal where trust is a luxury neither can afford. With every clash of their swords, their connection deepens, leaving Talia questioning her resolve and Darius doubting his loyalty. But in a world where betrayal is a deadly currency and magic is a force too powerful to be tamed, their growing attraction could be their undoing. With forces conspiring against them and the fate of the realm hanging in the balance, Talia and Darius must make an impossible choice: remain loyal to their missions or surrender to the desire that could destroy them both. In the end, they will discover that sometimes the most dangerous enemy is the one who holds your heart. "Blood and Betrayal" is a gripping tale of passion, power, and the thin line between love and hate. Will they sacrifice everything for the sake of their destinies , or will love prove to be the ultimate betrayal?

Primsharah will become the center of a deadly play, with the powers of the gods themselves at stake ... *** Refusing to watch his family crumble beneath the weight of poverty, Arran has resorted to stealing from the rich to provide for his mother and sister. His ability to bend light prevents him from being caught ... until one day, he is. His captors have no intention of turning him in, though, instead making him an offer that he cannot resist, but which will change the course of his future forever. Meanwhile, Princess Serafina, heir to the throne of Primsharah, welcomes an unusual suitor in the royal palace. This stranger brings a dangerous gift for her father: the Sphere of Truths, one of the ten World Artifacts, created by the gods themselves. As the Shah sinks deeper into his obsession with the Sphere, Inna starts experiencing visions about a thief stealing another Artifact, the Amulet of Doom. A deathly curse is bound to the Amulet, and its theft will set in motion a series of events which might destroy Primsharah for good ... and the world along with it. Together, Arran and Inna flee across the desert to find out who is stealing the Artifacts and why. But Arran's time is limited as the curse flows through his veins, with no hope for salvation save for the stubborn princess who is determined to see his survival. Magic, desert and creatures of myth weave a tale of fragile hope, large-scale betrayal and fierce friendship between two people whose fates should never have crossed paths at all.

From the day she discovered her magical talents, Talwyn Farrier has been haunted by the same dream. Stranded in unfamiliar lands, she's tormented by swarming shadows, her missing father's cries, and the full face of the green moon, Vidias, looming over her. When her latest hope for insight into her dream hits another dead end, she's convinced her journey to the jungle-bound city of Trocari was all for nothing. New places bring new possibilities, however. After a fateful meeting with a travelling trio and their eccentric benefactor, Talwyn receives a golden opportunity to find the answers she needs in exchange for filling in on a routine job. Yet the work lures her down much darker paths of mysterious disappearances, political machinations, and otherworldly influences that soon seem all too familiar to her. Dangers mundane and magical gather at every turn. As their quest takes them beyond - and below - the bustling streets of Trocari, risks and revelations push Talwyn and her companions to their limits. Can they unearth the source of the corruption at the city's heart? How far will they go to protect their new bonds? And how does it all connect to the secrets locked in Talwyn's ever-present dream? ------ Updates on Thursdays.
