Discrimination has been an issue throughout history. It is human nature to hate that which it does not understand. In a world similar to Earth, magic ran free. Magi and non-magi lived together harmoniously. Of course, people asked questions about their magical neighbors. When those questions were answered, an uproar occurred.
This book is set a few hundred years after that uproar, in a time period similar to Earth's 1800's. Long buried secrets will be revealed. Hearts will be won and broken. Human nature doesn't change.

Universal Warfare
Hi there, I'm JD, a 31-year-old Venezuelan-Spanish Economist living in Barcelona with my Russian (pro-peace) wife Anna and our two kittens; we met in Italy eight years ago, and almost since then we have been working on this project. During our careers we've worked with people from South America to Japan, from Australia to Canada, from South Africa to Norway, the characters in the novel are based on people I was lucky enough to meet along the way who left me with invaluable lessons which we feel the duty and privilege of sharing with our fellow humans, hopefully sharing what cosmologists call "Space Bias". There are seven main protagonists each one with their own chapter - which can be read in whichever order you prefer, - two of them in present tense and the rest in past, it's all part of the story. They all have mixed backgrounds such as a Japanese father and a Taiwanese mother, a survivor of the Rwanda massacre, a Colombian with Lebanese and Portuguese ancestry, a Danish whose mother is German, a Jewish lady married to a Muslim man she met in Jerusalem, an Anglo-Indian guy inspired in a way in Orwell - character name is Arthur such as Orwell's real name, - and last but definitely not least a Turkish Muslim bisexual woman for which a Lebanese friend for work is providing help; my friend is working on her Ph.D. on gender inequality in politics, especially in countries with religious civil wars that have moved from the streets to parliament. The story's Universe - 7 trillion light-years, approximately 78 times the size of our observable universe and 252 times the size of a Hubble sphere - provides more than enough civilizations to present dystopias that can serve as warnings for the future - ideally in the style of 1984, A Brave New World, or Fahrenheit 451, - as well as utopias where we find A.E.I - Artificial Emotional Intelligence - along with futuristic ways of understanding childhood, education, and life itself.Complete
The Unveiling - Modern Magic: Book 1
My name is Zane Thomas. This isn't an account of a normal student's last year in college. I'm here to tell you a secret: something that has been kept from the vast majority of the world for a very long time. Magic is real. Magic is the ability of specific people to affect multiple levels of reality. We call ourselves Magi. I'm worried that recent patterns are leading to an event that will change our world, and the Magi forever. That's why I'm writing this now. Because maybe later I won't have the chance. "The Unveiling" is the first book in the Modern Magic Trilogy.Complete
Chocolate Toast, Remus Lupin
Avery Dessen didn't like a lot of things. Mostly she didn't like the Marauders, History of Magic, and her grandmother, Millicent Bagnold.

So, when she opens her Hogwarts letter three weeks before the term starts and sees a small blue badge fall out, she freezes. Being a prefect was not part of her plan, reading that all prefects would be staying in a special common room was not part of her plan, and knowing that every day she'd have to see a marauder was NOT part of her plan. Not able to decline the offer due to her grandmother's persistence, Avery accepts. Unaware to her, bets between the teachers have already started and no one is safe. Started- June 19, 2023 finished-
