A new world rises, born from the combined books of beginning, wielded by the magician who had sought after them for millennia. Finally, the Dire Magnus has infinite power in the palm of his hand, the power to to build himself a throne and make the universe kneel at his feet. For those who stand against him and fear his rule, it's a desperate rush to flee from his control, and to search for the hope that seems to be lost forever.

Kate Wibberly stands by the Dire Magnus's side. She managed to free her siblings from his claws, but she herself remains in the belly of the beast, trying to gather information and find a way to fix this for everyone while avoiding the suspicions of her enemies. She's balancing on a tightrope with no safety net beneath her. And yet, even while walking this line, allies and magic are still within reach. As the Dire Magnus expands his rule, Kate builds her own coalition, determined to make things right and protect her family, at any cost.

This new world is not like the old. The clear divides of good and evil have been blurred, and no longer can anyone win anything by sticking to their morals. This is an age of dark magic, of plots and death, lies and tragic motives, and children who double as the monsters under the bed. For those who have always been careless, it's a playground, for those who live by a noble code, a nightmare. And for Kate, known for her kindness but also her ruthless fighting for those she loves, it's something entirely else. She plays her game well, but eventually, she will have to pick a side. Will she fight alongside the resistance and her family? Or will she accept the crown that her enemy - who is also Rafe, the boy she loves - offers her, and become the queen of his universe? All she knows is once again she has to carry the weight of the world, and whatever choices she makes, there will be sacrifices to go along with them.

The clock is ticking, and when it stops, one way or another, Kate's heart will break yet again.All Rights Reserved

The town of Cambridge Falls is no stranger to the unnerving. For over a century, people have gone missing, and the townsfolk know who to blame. The Dire Magnus, they call him, a sorcerer who rules an enchanted forest, one that's a dark mirror of the woods surrounding their home. He snatches away residents without warning, and now his terrible shadow has fallen upon the Wibberlys. Kate, Michael, and Emma have had a hard life. When they were small, their parents left one day and never returned. Put in the care of their godfather, Gabriel, who moved them to his hometown, the trio has spent years relying only on each other, and their steadfast guardian, all while wondering what happened to their parents. Little do they know their troubles have just begun. After a late night escapade, Michael and Emma become the latest missing locals. The Dire Magnus has taken them to his realm, from which none have ever returned. But Kate and Gabriel will not accept that they are truly gone. Setting out on a rescue mission, the pair venture into the dark, magical domain the town has long feared. No matter what surprises await, they are determined to save their family. Even if, to do so, Kate will have to bargain with the Dire Magnus himself.

How To Rule ✅COMPLETE by Lukinglass

When Rin imagined meeting her mate she did not expect their first meeting to be of him wounded and kneeling in her father's throne room slowly dying.

She is torn between two sides. The right one blurred in-between them both. Each holding a consequence she just might not be ready to face. Her father who is grooming her to be exactly like him, a merciless tyrant. Or Her mate who wants her to forsake all she's ever known and in doing so choose him and his people, the rebels. *** 'Rin I care about you. The moment you let them conquer your mind from something as weak as your heart you have already lost. They will use that spymaster to dethrone me and once they do that they will disgard you for your blood relation to me. Understand. I have to protect you Rin even if it hurts you. You're my little girl.' *** Written for the open novella contest 2021. Longlisted for the open novella contest 2021.

In the aftermath, their parents have tried to adjust them to a normal life, and a normal family dynamic. But the children know that it just doesn't feel right. They can't heal or live like this. Something inside Kate, Michael, and Emma craves the world of magic and their friends in that world. When their parents go out to the store one day and by nightfall have not returned, the Wibberlys become fearful. And a startling attack causes them to have to flee their home in the dead of night and return to the magical world. It turns out the ghosts of the past have come back to haunt them. And while these new loopholes in the boundaries between life of death allow the siblings to reunite with and seek help from some beloved friends, it also means their deadliest enemy is roaming the world once more, hungry for revenge. And so the three are launched into another quest to save their family and discover what could possibly be causing the very foundations of the world to shift. Michael investigates with a fervor, seeking guidance from many friends and allies among the living and the dead. Emma trains to fight to protect her family, helped by the ghost of her dear friend and mentor. And Kate begins to unlock the magic inside of her, magic that could hold the key to saving her family, defeating evil once and for all, and maybe even changing destiny to bring the boy she loves back to her. Together, Kate, Michael, Emma, and their allies are strong. But will that be enough in the face of the Dire Magnus and his overwhelming evil? And do those helping them really have their best intentions at heart?

It Isn't Easy Being Queen by BrittanieCharmintine

Even teen evil queens need love. Right? (Or at least a handsome sword-fighting minion to do their bidding!) *** Bad things happen when Rowen is around and the worst part is, she has no idea why until a massive family secret sends her on a fantastical journey to fight her evil fate. Will Rowen fold into the forces of dark magic or honor her true self? *** On the surface, Rowen Keckilpenny-Brown seems like a normal teenage girl with normal teen problems-no boyfriend, overprotective parents, and no friends other than a three-legged cat. But her wild red hair, reptilian eyes, and legendary temper say otherwise. When Rowen accidentally blows up the school gym, she discovers a dark secret her fathers have kept from her-she's the heir to an evil queen's throne. The current evil queen, Petronella Grimshaw, is desperate to crown Rowan the new sovereign and blackmails her into traveling to the queendom. Rowen has one month to learn how to evil queen, and it's not easy because there are those in the castle who want her dead, witches are disappearing, and an annoyingly cute swordsman keeps distracting her. Worst of all, Rowan finds herself in a duel against her biggest enemy: herself. She must fight her true fate, in the process uncovering deep familial mysteries and perhaps the biggest secret ever...That maybe, just maybe, she deserves to be loved after all. Princess Diaries meets the School for Good & Evil with a touch of Wednesday Addams thrown in for bad luck. The best kind! Cover by @ClarissaNorth

Waiting For Sunrise - The Books Of Beginning AU by starsandspells

The year is 1899, and siblings Kate, Michael, and Emma have just been thrown out of their latest orphanage by the cruel Mrs. Crumley. The trio haven't seen their parents in over ten years, despite promises of reuniting, and have been left alone in an unforgiving world, not least because they are magic users in a time when hatred towards their kind is on the rise. In search of safety - and, perhaps, help finding their lost family - the three make their way to New York, a place with a strong magical population. It's there they meet the Savages, a gang of fellow magicians, kids who live in an abandoned church and make their living as thieves. The children, their protector, the capable witch Henrietta Burke, and the gang's leader, a fierce young sorcerer named Rafe, welcome the siblings, and within the shelter and camaraderie that they offer, Kate, Michael, and Emma finally find a place to call home. Yet even as they embrace life within the city that never sleeps, there are still challenges awaiting the siblings, from the enduring mystery of their long ago abandonment, to ever-present social inequities bearing down, to a shadowy, powerful force threatening those the children hold dearest, and the whole world.

A Dance Of Crowns & Thrones | Book I by AWriternamed-ANA

This book is for those who love slow-burn, chaotic, "how can they be that stupid," "about bloody time," wrench-your-heart-but-make-you-feel-so-good romances. Because what's life without a bit of drama, right? Throw in epic chaos, a princess on the run, and some evil bad guys (because every story needs a villain), and you've got a book that will keep you knee-deep in drama. If you've come here looking for your traditional synopsis, read on, my lovely readers. And if what you really crave is a mix of whump, smut, and rom-com with a side of catastrophe, then look no further-I've got you covered. __________________________________________________________________________ Proper Synopsis When a devastating attack reduces her home to ruins, Princess Sera's only option is to flee. Seeking refuge on Earth, she meets Matthew, the cocky, confident leader of the Allegiant Academy. Little does she know that the man she's starting to fall for is the same person who wields immense power-the one she dubbed 'Ace' and has been her bitter enemy since childhood. But hey, that's not exactly first-date material, is it? Nobody kicks it off with, "Oh, by the way, I have an alter ego who's a fiend-fighting, blood-killer type that hunts savages for sport." Right? As Sera tries to keep her princess status and crystal warrior identity under wraps, she throws herself into becoming someone else. After growing up in war, happiness doesn't just return-it sneaks up on you, like plants pushing through cracked concrete. But when her past comes knocking, threatening to undo everything she's painstakingly rebuilt, she'll quickly learn that truth has impeccable timing-and her destiny has the absolute worst habit of showing up when she least expects it. But seriously, what did she expect? When it comes to life, destiny, and fate, it's never really in our hands, is it? _______________________________________________________________________________
