ancientreligion celtic faeries fairytail fairytale fiction folklore hiddenworlds history ireland love magic mythology nature pre-christianity scotland seelie spiritual youngadult

18 year old Duana Ria has always felt more alive under the moonlight, more attuned to nature than most people her age, and more connected to imaginary worlds than her own. She feels things that she couldn't possibly be feeling and has seen things that she wishes she hadn't. 

Over time she has managed to subconsciously coat her life in an illusion of normalcy, but there are older, more powerful forces at work than she ever knew existed, and soon she will find that the biggest lies are the hardest to maintain.

Centuries old secrets contrast with  teenage romance, modern day tragedies are proven to have ancient roots, and a lot more than just one world hangs in the balance, in the darkness.All Rights Reserved

The Offering by megan_rose_writes

Almost a century ago, the fae discovered they could no longer bear children-and humanity paid the price. A treaty was forged: The Offering. Once every couple of decades, young fertile women are taken from their homes and delivered to the fae realm, destined to become wives for fae lords. Treasured. Trapped. Chosen. Daella always knew it could happen to her. But when the fae come, she isn't ready. And she sure as hell isn't willing. Now forced to live inside a gilded palace among the other chosen, Daella must learn the ways of the fae world-obedience, grace, and silence. She refuses. Her defiance draws the attention of the three fae princes, each bound by duty... and each dangerously intrigued by the human girl who dares to fight back. As desire grows and loyalties are tested, Daella begins to unravel the lies behind the treaty that stole her freedom. And in a realm built on secrets and power, she might be the spark that sets everything ablaze.

Letters from the Other Side by djravenscroft

She woke to a world washed in silver. The clouds hung low, heavy with secrets. And when the rain began, soft, deliberate. She welcomed it like an old friend. But this morning wasn't like the others. Between the drops, she saw them. Tiny beings, born of shimmer and storm. Fairies. Real ones. They moved like the rain itself knew how to keep them hidden. And in that quiet wonder, something ancient stirred. Everyone else rushed past, umbrellas raised, eyes down. No one noticed. Except her. One fairy remained. Still, glowing, watching her like it had been waiting. When she whispered, "Hello," the world began to shift. But the rain wasn't the only thing falling that day. A parcel was coming. A diary that writes back. A demon who already knows her name. And a truth her father buried long ago. The past isn't sleeping. It's waking up.

Nether by DistantDreamer

Years ago, the Trolls were banished into the Nether, a void of evil and darkness between the magical realms. With their greed and treachery locked away, peace has reigned throughout the worlds. But not for nineteen-year-old witch, Aramina. Being discovered to be a non-magic-a witch with waning powers- has cost her everything. A place among her people, her future as the next High Mistress of Magic, and the man she loves. Determined to live a life without magic, Aramina's plan is foiled when Roane, a man of many secrets and tattoos thwarts her kidnapping. He introduces her to a world where non-magics are being hunted and sent into the Nether. She will never be safe unless she finds out why the Trolls need non-magics and who is smuggling them into the Nether. To get her answer, Aramina will be forced to face an evil that's had a chance to grow, and to defeat it, she'll need a different kind of magic. The kind she'll only find within herself. That is if she can finally face her demons, and if Roane's secret doesn't get her killed first.

Made Sacred by savnotsavvy

Some say she was blessed. Others say she was cursed. Only the forest knows the truth. At the edge of an ancient wood, a man who aged too slowly fell in love with a woman who burned like sunlight. Their story wasn't loud. It lived in quiet rituals: tea brewed on rainy mornings, laughter in the garden, hands that stayed even when words couldn't. He never meant to cast a spell. Not truly. But one night, the world heard him anyway. Then, long after his final breath, she remained. Unchanged by time. Held in place by a love that outlived its ending. The forest remembered. The air hums with something unspoken. And the girl listening begins to wonder if the magic ever really ended at all. Made Sacred is a tender, haunting tale passed down from father to daughter. It's about love that echoes, grief that roots deep, and the spells we never mean to cast but carry with us all the same.
