'It started out as a normal day at the academy, yet by lunchtime I had stroked Death's gates once again. It seems to have become my new 'normal'. I remember all those years the only thing I would wish for was, that I be chosen to join a secret society, from which my life would be full of mysticism, romance and occasional mortal peril. But even then I couldn't have imagined this. I should have been more careful with what I wished for. Because what they didn't tell me back then, was that the books don't always get it quite right. They leave out some of the terror, cruelty and broken hearts.
A sword is held to my throat and my component has me pinned to the wall. They told us not to use any of our powers in the tournaments, but I wasn't left with much of a choice. My component has eyes burning with a desire to kill. Seconds away from having to stay in the infirmary again, I raise my hand and command the earth to listen to me. Oh, you may be wondering how I ended up here? The academy, the magick and mysticism? Let me take you back to the day it all began. '

Morana, the Witch of Life
Morana knows she's different from other people in more ways than one. Firstly, she's sixty-seven years old but stopped ageing in her twenties. Weird things have also happened around her right after she's wished for it. But most importantly, no matter how she acts, people feel uncomfortable around her. Unfortunately, she has no way of finding out why all of this is since she was abandoned as a baby. A shocking event makes her cross paths with Alejo, a male witch who has issues trusting other witches. But when it comes to Morana, he feels comfortable and at ease, as well as attracted to her. They are, however, not mates, and as such, he knows that any romantic relationship between them is doomed to fail. To not risk losing her, he therefore does all he can to fight his own feelings. [Can be read without having read volume one and two] ---------- Mature rating due to: smut, violence (magical mainly, but some that's rather bloody), death, attempted rape (happens in chapter 42 and will be mentions of it afterwards, fairly none-descriptive, focus is on emotions, there will NOT be a trigger warning at the beginning of the specific chapter), abuse both physically and verbally - mention of past child abuse. There is no self-harm, however, there are certain aspects that might still be triggering in that regard. If you ever have any questions about the content and potential triggers, feel free to reach out to me. I'm more than happy to specify more if need be. ---------- This series will contain the following volumes: Volume 1 - Zoe, the witch of innocence (completed) Volume 2 - Crimson, the witch of night (completed) Volume 3 - Morana, the witch of life (completed) Volume 4 - Mirai, the witch of sight (completed) Volume 5 - Danae, the witch of light (completed) Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love (ongoing)Complete
Curse of the Astralis
On a cold winter night, beneath a sky heavy with swirling snowflakes, I arrived at the gates of my new school-an ancient fortress of stone and magic. The torches lining the grand staircase flickered in the wind, casting eerie shadows along the castle walls. This was no ordinary academy; it was a place where the most gifted wielders of magic trained, a school of legacy and power. As I stepped inside, the air buzzed with enchantment, the echoes of centuries past whispering through the halls. Here, knowledge was a weapon, secrets were currency, and danger lurked beneath the surface. I had come to make my mark, to claim my place in a world where my family's name carried both prestige and expectation. But I was not alone in my arrival-some had been waiting for me. Some welcomed me, others watched from the shadows. This was the beginning of something far greater than I could have imagined. Malia IronHeartComplete

After years of captivity within the royal castle, Ophelya cannot fathom why her father has suddenly cast her into Gladius, the most feared academy in the realm. Is he discarding her? Or is there a darker game at play? Only one man holds the truth. The general. The monster. The prince and the most dreaded fae to walk the earth. But at Gladius, nothing is as it seems. Lies coil through the corridors like restless specters, every whisper is a blade, and behind every mask lurks a betrayal waiting to strike. The deeper Ophelya digs for answers, the tighter the snare of power, deceit, and forbidden longing coils around her. Now, in a den of predators, she must learn to endure. Because at Gladius, strength is law, weakness is a death sentence, and seeking the truth may very well be her downfall.
