Witchcraft #ONC2021 by happyperson081

Terribly illegal and highly dangerous, magic can cause the best of people to go insane. If the witch or warlock in question is caught in the act well... they should begin to say their final goodbyes. Sixteen year old Aria Everheart knows these rules. She knows that in order to live a full, even possibly happy life, she has to learn to stop thinking outside the box and start thinking about finding a husband. But things change for Aria when she discovers a terrible secret. Suddenly, magic is all she ever wanted or needed. Fear slowly seeped away as Aria's power grew until... She was caught. Aria Everheart, a justice's clerk's daughter, was sent to a magical purging boot camp out of mercy. But the long and winding road of witchcraft doesn't end here as Aria is rescued by a peculiar woman named Flora and brought to a treehouse at the edge of the kingdom. From there, Aria must figure out why there's a fairy missing and what's actually happening around the kingdom... Welcome to the outskirts of society, where magic thrives and witches are quite alive.

Lenora's Grimoire by Falling-Rivers

(Former title: Book of Rosethorns) Cherish thought she'd escaped her past years ago--settled down in some forgotten, sleepy town, gotten a steady job at the local library, and subtly hidden the witchcraft books donated from the local covens from the public. Cherish Harmond was wrong. Her cedar tree had screamed at her before dying on her front lawn that morning. Cherish hadn't even realized trees could scream. Faced with the desperate plea for help from a stranger, the past she thought she had successfully outrun has returned, and she must come to terms with it, to use her powers for good--because if she doesn't, she might unleash a curse onto her sleepy, normal hometown forever. **Submission for ONC 2021

Flickering Creatures | ONC 2024 Longlist | ✔︎ by SmokeAndOranges

When Bryony -- herbalist extraordinaire -- goes missing, Bella knows one suspect stands above the rest. The village's aspiring second witch, Daphne, comes from a family that's tried to take Bryony down before, and Daphne seems determined to carry on that legacy. For someone who's always been terrified of Bryony, she's a little too keen on looking into the disappearance. There's just one problem. Bella's insufferable fellow familiar thinks the kid is innocent... and he's been right about worse things before. If Daphne herself is to be believed, clues on the disappearance lead a whole lot closer to home than Bella would like. As the evidence mounts, Bella must choose to either stand by her values and the woman who raised her, or seek what might be a truth she would rather not uncover. Prompt #81: The town's witch has gone missing and no one is looking for her but her two familiars - a crow and a black cat, plus the teen who has always been scared of her. ❖❖❖ Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest.

Back to his dreaded childhood home, back to the place to which he swore he'd never return. Cairo's family is nothing ordinary. Strange things happen when they want them to, and impossible is a limit that simply does not exist in their plane of being. But it's this strangeness that he's been rejecting, that he's been trying to run from all these years. Unfortunately, whether he likes it or not, he must enlist the help of siblings who resent him to unveil the secrets behind the vendetta against his stepfather and fight the forces determined to tear his family apart. Oh, and of course, he has to participate in a race for inheritance privileges ⸻ something he never even wanted. Cairo's own past has come back to haunt him, tangled with everyone else's and a million times worse. Time is ticking, and there are sins to atone for, blood to be spilled. #ONC2024 - Prompt 13 Total Word Count: 40,310 #1 in #intrigue 2/24-3/21 © Ginger Beckett 2024
