The kingdoms of Caedland and Saroviya have been at war for centuries, and a darkness has spread across the Northern Lands. In the east, Saroviya has been crippled by fighting on multiple fronts, while Caedland still reels from the murder of its queen's consort and the disappearance of its princess nearly two decades ago. Now, in the war-torn lands between the two kingdoms, a new threat has emerged, an unnatural disease that specifically targets the witches who fight for both kingdoms.

In Caedland, a new draft means that young witch Judith Craven must report to the kingdom's capital to join the New Army and begin her training in the military arts. There, however, she soon discovers that her power is not as it seems-and neither is her heritage.

Meanwhile, in Saroviya, the king's personal Healer, Alina Kalinin, finds herself sucked into a dangerous political landscape when she is assigned by the leader of the Order of Mages to create a cure for the mysterious new disease that has appeared on her kingdom's border.

Even as Judith grapples with awful power and Alina struggles to understand a disease whose origins she soon comes to suspect aren't natural, a group of criminals in the neutral kingdom of Rijkelund set out to steal a sacred artifact from the Saroviyan embassy. But, as they embark on a seemingly-impossible mission, they soon discover that all is not as it may seem, and both Saroviya and Caedland are playing a very different game than it may seem from the outside.All Rights Reserved

Whispers of the Abyss by silent-scribbler

The city is plagued by whispers-shadows that slither through alleyways, unseen hands that brush against skin in the dead of night. Seraphina Duskborne has always felt them watching, lurking just beyond her reach. But when one finally steps into the light, she realizes she was never meant to be ordinary. Lucian, a being woven from darkness and desire, was sent to claim her soul. Bound to the Abyss, he is a hunter of wayward fates-a creature with no heart, no mercy. Yet, something about Seraphina unsettles him, tempts him, makes him hunger in ways he shouldn't. She is not just a mortal. And he is not just her executioner. As their fates intertwine, Seraphina finds herself trapped in a dangerous game of seduction, secrets, and power. Lucian is both her captor and her obsession, his touch sinful, his presence inescapable. But there are greater forces at play-forces that want her dead, and Lucian broken. In the end, one of them must fall. But will it be to darkness-or to desire?

Scar of Breath by RiaHuck

"May you find The Everlasting." **** In the Eastern Continent, where monsters once roamed the forests and alchemists defended the people, the Scars were born. Seven individuals with unique powers drove the monsters away and paved the way for civilisation. Centuries later, Caelum was the central power of the Eastern Continent, until the day it fell, and a power vacuum opened. An era of uncertainty arrived, and the remaining Kingdoms were left to pick up the pieces. Zephyr, the Scar of Breath, is on a path of vengeance. She enters the fighting pits of Ithlon to gain access to the King of Blissdor, his kingdom, and the treasures it holds. However, the Prince of Blissdor becomes an obstacle she never saw coming. As their friendship blossoms, she must hide her true motives, motives that could change the fate of the Continent. Kallista is the Scar of Mist, yet born in the Zakhian Kingdom, she was captured the day she revealed her powers, the day her lover was stolen from her. Now imprisoned, waiting for her execution, she knows she must escape. Not just for her own life, but the life of her unborn child. Rhiannon, the Scar of Earth, and princess of Navumia, has spent eighteen summers unable to bring forth her powers and she is haunted by the magik she does not possess. Now, as she comes of age, suitors line up at her door, and she must choose a husband. When one of her suitors turns up dead, she makes it her mission to find the killer and prove herself a worthy princess. Whilst these Scars fight for what they believe in, the Kingdom of Caelum is rising once again. Strange monsters roam its forests, and a darkness consumes the Caelum throne. And it wants more.

Ellemoore Academia by rosesaregrimy

For centuries, Ellerysium thrived, guarded by ten ancient crystals, each pulsing with unimaginable power. Entrusted to Elara, immortal guardian and daughter of Ellemoore Academia's founder, peace was once a promise. But peace never lasts forever. Her sister, Seraphina, once beloved by the people, betrayed them all. She stole four crystals, Emberstone, Thunderheart Amethyst, Luminescent Opal, and the Eclipsium Prism, and vanished into the shadows. In time, she forged her own kingdom: Aetheria. With her army of loyal followers, the Hallows, Seraphina declared war. She even performed a forbidden ritual, summoning the Dark Ascendant, a monstrous force meant to tip the scales in her favor. But Elara, at great cost, defeated it. Ellerysium splintered. The world divided. Now, with the conflict on the brink of chaos, Ellemoore Academia begins preparing its next defenders. Seven students. Diana, Blake, Dave, Xylon, Lexi, Sophia, and Savanna, are chosen to join the elite Warrior Angels. What once felt like training, rivalry, and friendship soon spirals into something far more dangerous. Secrets buried in legend begin to resurface. Loyalties will be tested. And as their first mission looms... one thing becomes painfully clear: This isn't just about a kingdom. It's about the truths they were never told. The choices that will define them. And the sacrifices they'll be forced to make. Because in a world built on magic, betrayal, and destiny, some will rise... and others will fall.

The silver crescent Three: by Angel-martien2011

The kingdom of Virella is in turmoil. An ancient evil has awakened in the deepest parts of the forbidden forest-an entity known only as The Shadow King. His magic is unlike any the world has ever known, capable of unraveling time itself. It is foretold that only a group of chosen individuals, each possessing a unique power, can stop him. The group, formed by destiny, must embark on a dangerous quest to retrieve the Silver Crescent, an ancient artifact capable of sealing the Shadow King's power. Along the way, they must face mythical creatures, treacherous landscapes, and dark forces that want nothing more than to see them fail. As they journey through the wilds of Virella, tensions rise among the group. The magic of the land can sometimes bring forth feelings of longing, jealousy, and love. Kael, struggling with the burden of his power, feels a growing connection to Ronan, but doubts if a future with anyone is possible. Faris finds themselves unexpectedly falling for Eira, but Eira is unsure if their relationship is just a fleeting moment or something deeper. In the midst of the looming threat, the bonds between the group members deepen. Love blossoms under the stars, but so does betrayal. Anselm, having once loved a powerful sorceress who fell to darkness, is revealed to have a complicated history with Ronan. Anselm's motives may not align with the rest of the group's, and they must confront the possibility that someone in their midst could betray them when the final confrontation with the Shadow King occurs. The closer they get to the Silver Crescent, the more the lines between love, loyalty, and betrayal blur. Kael and Ronan's relationship faces a heartbreaking test when Kael's powers threaten to change the course of time itself, and Ronan must make a choice: save his kingdom or save the one he loves. Lyra's cold demeanor hides a deep longing for Thalia's gentle, persistent love, but Lyra's past makes it hard for her to trust her heart.

No Good Witches | ONC √ by YoItsYeau

I'M GOING TO START EDITING THIS PROBABLY. If you go to Our Lady of the Black Veil Academy, chances are you know the names Cass Landry, Rebecca Lovelace, and Mallory Meksawan. Cass Landry being the mysterious new girl with a tendency to practice magic illegally, Rebecca being notorious for lighting up every room she walks into, and Mallory being the second in command it-girl of Black Veil, as famed as she is feared. After a magical attempt to escape detention goes terribly, horribly wrong and their ethics teacher winds up dead (ironic, they know), Cass must band together with Rebecca, the girl she "totally doesn't like", and Mallory, another girl she doesn't like (but like...for real this time) to find a spell that can bring their teacher back to life before her situation becomes permanent. A spell of this caliber, however, requires that they venture into the underground world of their picturesque town, striking a deal with a powerful gang leader that not only raises the stakes, but gives them an even tighter timeline. And though as a witch Cass has personal experience with life and death, the pressure that she's facing now might just be too tough to handle. Luckily, she's not alone. And with the three baddest witches of Black Veil, who knows what could happen. (So yeah I failed but I'm keeping ONC in the title okay let me have this)
