Magic was outlawed centuries ago in Aceria when Queen Avery took the throne. Historians will tell you that magic was evil, and anyone cursed with it had been grateful to have it removed, as the Queen had ordered. How it was removed, no one knows; but the Queen assures her people that her top priority is the safety of her kingdom.

However, when a list of people who still have magic is handed to the Queen, she orders they be captured and executed at once...without the kingdom knowing.  

Gerard is one of the high ranking soldiers sent to find these hiding mages... and Aurora is the mage he is assigned to capture. But before he can take her back to the Queen, they stumble across a terrifying discovery- the Queen is not as heroic as she seems, and everything they once knew is called into question. Now, they must locate as many other mages as they can before the Queen does, and work together to defeat an evil force.

42 parts Complete
A magic-addicted spy trapped in the queen's service must track a princess-turned-assassin in order to earn her freedom, but things get complicated when she falls for the princess she's supposed to capture. ***** Weak. Cursed. That's how seventeen-year-old Kayden Branimir, the realm's deadliest assassin, views herself. Some believe she could save the world with her rare healing magic, but she gave up on her powers long ago after failing to save her best friend. Her life changes when she receives a letter from her supposedly dead twin brother, Alaric, begging to be rescued from rival territory Leodia. For the first time since her friend's accident, Kayden is determined to be the hero, but she must learn to embrace her magic--and herself--along the way. Strange. Unnatural. Those are the words whispered about eighteen-year-old Zara Tait, a Leodian spy addicted to soul-stealing magic. Forced into the queen's service, Zara wants to escape and return home, but she has nothing to offer the queen in exchange for her freedom. When Kayden arrives in Leodia, Zara sees the quiet girl with unique magic as the bargaining chip she needs. But the more she learns of Kayden, the more her feelings grow. Now, Zara must choose between her freedom and the dangerous assassin she hadn't meant to fall for.

The Hidden Tenebrae

45 parts Ongoing

17-year-old Aurora has been locked in her room for the past 10 years. So when a chance to escape arrives, she takes it. However, the world outside of her room is new and frightening, full of unspoken rules and ridged hierarchy. Left with no other way to get money, Aurora signs up for a competition held by the king, the prize, 40000 silvers. When her name gets called for the competition, Aurora is whisked away into a world of secrets and mystery, one that everyone but her seems accustom to. Amongst her fellow competitors is a cynical boy named Camden, and a pretty, vivacious girl, Leigh. The further Aurora digs, she finds that the perfect system of power is not as wonderful as it may seem, that nearly everyone is hiding secrets, and that deep down inside of her, an unstable magic is brewing, one that the world of Versaria may not be ready for.
