Magical love. Poisonous hatred. And everything in between...
After the once-in-a-century shadow-terrorism attack in Times Square, Micah Emmerich vanished-along with his alleged partner-in-crime, Mia Lopez-Holtswood. The world is reeling, the authorities are scrambling, and Micah? He left behind a story. His story.
Now, for the first time, the infamous Emmerich Tapes are being released to the public. Inside the recordings: a confession-or a warning-from the most hunted magical suspect in America.
Set in a twisted version of New York where faeries hustle spells in subway tunnels and jazz magic walks in suits, this is a tale of found family, forbidden power, and the razor-thin line between justice and vengeance.
Welcome to the underworld of alchemy runs and supernatural politics. Just don't get caught in the shadows.
Content warning: Contains mild language, depictions of violence and morally ambiguous magic.

A mysterious man traveling with a pack of wolves snatches her from the edge of death and claims to know her history. He also wants the bounty on her head.

Cue adventures, sword battles, etiquette lessons, and magic. Amberleigh will need all the help she can get to make it through. The world of Erivale isn't as magical as it seems, and a mystery is unfolding - one that threatens Amberleigh's life and the freedoms of those around her. The Lost Princess is returning to Erivale, and no one, not even she, is ready for what is to come. Currently being edited.

Singed - My demon
A happy childhood, a so-so adolescence. Then adulthood arrived, and everything went to hell. And by everything, I mean it. Grown-up life is truly a wonderful, dazzling adventure! A job that drains your soul, stripping away any will to live while fueling a more or less justified homicidal instinct; depression knocking at the door with a lovely bouquet of red roses; and, last but not least, the remnants of a social life buried somewhere under my shoes. Not the ones I'm wearing now; those are slippers, big difference. I mean the other ones. The ones in the cabinet that I haven't touched in five years. Love can be destructive. It catches you, ensnares you, devours you, and if you're unlucky enough, it leaves you standing in nothing but your underwear before reducing you to ashes. I had made peace with my "and she lived single, forever unhappy but safe" fate. A house, one, four, eight, maybe twenty cats-to meet expectations-and a future as flat as a heart monitor that's given up the ghost. No joys, minimal suffering, because there's only so much a heart can take before it calls it quits. And honestly? Fuck it, I'd been through enough. ... But he changed everything. In the worst, most terrifying way possible. From this abyss, I may never climb back out.

Harry drew his wand on her. I could hear Tom in my head. 'You can do it. You know the spell. Do it,' he whispered. I could tell Harry could hear it, too. It wasn't only in my head. I could do it. I wanted to do it. I pointed my wand to her, "Avada-" {END}Complete
