The Spark of Ruin by arimaiainkler

The vision always came with the same crushing clarity: a sky torn open, fire raining down, and the earth trembling as oceans rose to swallow cities whole. For years, Mara thought she was meant to stop it. It was her burden, her divine punishment, to bear the sight of humanity's end and avert it. But that night, something changed. In the heart of the vision, where the chaos spiraled outward, she saw herself-arms raised, eyes alight with power she didn't yet understand. She wasn't a savior; She was the spark. And as much as she wanted to be horrified, a quiet part of her wondered what it would feel like to finally let it burn.

Tangled Hearts ||KTH|| by pranu1185

In a world where love twists into obsession and loyalty battles betrayal, four lives collide in a haunting dance of secrets, power, and desire. When hearts are bound by shadows and every promise is laced with deceit, the line between passion and possession blurs. In this tale of dark romance, one woman's sacrifice and another's broken heart spark a descent into a love that knows no mercy-and revenge that knows no end. He is the untouchable, the heir, the one who holds every heart in his cold, unyielding grip. She is the quiet observer, the girl who hides her feelings in the shadows-until he makes her sister his pawn in a cruel game of deceit. When love becomes a weapon and trust a distant memory, the lives of three young souls spiral into a web of seduction, obsession, and vengeance. A forbidden marriage binds two enemies in a twisted embrace, but hatred is only a spark waiting to ignite. He wants control; she wants freedom. Yet, as their lives intertwine in a dangerous dance, desire takes root in places neither of them expect. But shadows lurk in every corner, and buried truths threaten to shatter even the strongest heart. Can anyone survive a love that devours, a betrayal that cuts deeper than any wound, and a revenge that knows no bounds? How far would you go to keep what you can't bear to lose?

Shadow's Edge (Shadows Saga bk1) by Linna1029

In the world of magic there are only two options: learn control, or risk becoming the one thing everyone fears. On the anniversary of her parents' death Mara Collins must face more than her own grief; she must face a hidden world. When a series of accidents over the past eleven years leads to her discovery of witches and magic, Mara must make the decision to leave her life behind in order to hone her new abilities or stay and risk the chance that her powers could rage out of control. When people discover Mara is a descendant of one of the most powerful witches in history, they start to believe Mara will follow in her ancestor's footsteps. No pressure, right? Not everyone is excited to hear of Mara's potential power, and some even want to stop her. With a Fae for a roommate, a witch for a mentor, and a Werewolf Prince for a friend everything seems to be looking up. But when friends turn to enemies, who can Mara go to for help? who can she trust? Will she be able to control her powers before they turn her into the one thing everyone fears?

Story #1 in the 'The Hourglass Effect' series. She forgot it was an act. That it was a lie. She forgot that she's broken, and can't fall in love. So she made him fall for her . Made him think she was perfect. But what she didn't know, was that the boy that fell in love too easily already knew her secrets. All of them. All rights reserved© 2015 by staticdreams.

Where there is love there is magic by mimixcoa

The Secret by pastlives4ever

Shane Cohen is a bit of a loner at school. It's his choice though. He thinks all the kids in his high school are a waste of space and annoying as Hell. Until she shows up. Mara Zane is a social outcast when she arrives. No one likes her and she doesn't like anyone either. A "win win" as it were. Something about her naturally keeps people at bay. Or maybe it's her stubbornness to not get left behind in her classes. But Shane can't seem to get her off his mind. She's beautiful and mysterious and behind that angry gaze is something he so desperately wants to uncover he is willing to do anything.

Vaani:his forced bride {Edited Version} by hapwrites

𝐻𝐼𝑆 𝐹𝑂𝑅𝐶𝐸𝐷 𝐵𝑅𝐼𝐷𝐸 Bound by Fate. Trapped by Hate. Consumed by Obsession. She has been a prisoner her entire life-locked away, tortured, and left to drown in nightmares that never end. The world beyond her room is a mystery, and love? A fantasy she never dared to dream of. He is a prince and a ruthless CEO, a man who bows to no one. But even power couldn't save him from the trap set by her cruel uncle. Kidnapped and forced into an unwanted marriage, he sees his bride as nothing but a chain around his neck. A fragile, unwanted burden. But when he learns the truth-the horror she has endured-his hatred turns into something far more dangerous. Possession. Obsession. An undeniable craving to claim what was forced upon him. Yet, in the shadows lurks another-a woman driven to madness, in love with him to the point of destruction. She will kill, manipulate, and tear the world apart to have him, even if it means erasing the wife he never wanted. In a marriage forged by cruelty, love may not be the only thing that blooms... because sometimes, obsession is the deadliest poison of all.

We've all heard the tales of good and bad, the tales of innocent deceit and her hero, the tales that despite their nature, show us the beauty in contrast. But it's the tales of pure evil that get swept under the rug. The tales of deception, where cruelty is rewarded. The tales that have you questioning who the real villain of the story is. There's a simple philosophy to most thing in life; two wrongs 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 make a right. So what ensues when you put two of the worst kinds of people together? Loyalties transfer, lines blur, and hatred ignites complete chaos. She's cunning. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. She's dangerous. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴. She's evil. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦. Or so that's what we're told.
