A world where magic must be hidden from mankind is a world where mages have no reason to exist.
Zara was one of them--a young woman forced to spend her days in confinement, to lessen the risks of outsiders discovering the truth.
She was not human.
She was, as they say, a living embodiment of a thousand year old curse upon the Kingdom and humanity as a whole.
And the only way to handle a curse, is to get rid of it--which is precisely what the Kingdom has proceeded in doing for centuries--eliminating any being that contained even an ounce of enchanted blood.
Zara's lived most of her life with the threat of death hanging over her head. Though this never averted her heightening curiosity about magic, nor the abilities innate within her.
And when a powerful, enigmatic Sorcerer comes to her with a proposition, Zara finally sees her chance to embrace the curse she was born with.
It was a chance laced with precarity and destruction, but a chance nonetheless...

The Wolf Witch
Sora has no place in the world. She is meant to be a strong warrior, with the ability to shift into a wolf. She is none of those things, and looked down upon because of it. It brings shame to her, it brings shame to her family, and worst of all, it brings shame upon her prideful and strong brother. There is but one person who truly knows and loves her, but does he really? Magic is not the weapon of a warrior, magic is the weapon of a coward. Sora has been told that all her life, but she has magic within her, recently awakened, and so she has begun to doubt it. Still, witchcraft is punishable by death, and so Sora must be careful with her practices, lest she lose all she has. Sora is a better witch than wolf, though not by much, but she still pursues that craft in spite of the dangers. Her place in the world is a dangerous one, but will it last? The world she lives in is a dangerous one, and such a life as hers rarely ends happily. Disclaimer: this is a short prequel, Sora's story does not conclude with this one. If you finish this book and go "oh, that's the end?" it's because it's not the end. I'm writing a trilogy called Mortance that explores the larger world that this takes place in and concludes Sora's story more thoroughly than in this book. Go read that next if you like my writing, thanks. Please leave any and all criticisms you might have, anything you like and anything you dislike, I want to make this as good as I can. P.S. the cover is literally just a drawing I made in physics class, I know it's bad, I'm not an artist.Complete

A healer among warriors, overlooked and underestimated, her dreams are haunted by a man with stormfire eyes-and the pull of magic older than the Council dares whisper. When the Exiles breach the wards, Zara's world collides with his. Valen Drakhar, a dangerous outcast wrapped in shadow and dragon-forged power, sees something in her he should not-something that could tip the balance between chaos and survival. But the Academy has its own champion: Elias Daren, perfect student of Order Magick, ice-cold and untouchable. To him, Zara is potential waiting to be shaped... and controlled. Torn between fire and frost, defiance and discipline, Zara discovers a truth too perilous to ignore: The greatest danger is not the war outside the walls, but the bond tying her soul to theirs. And some bonds were never meant to be broken. Fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Carissa Broadbent will love this slow-burn romantasy filled with forbidden magic, a tangled love triangle, and the kind of soul-deep connection that could destroy-or save-the world.

She felt his surprise. She felt his light extinguish as he died. Then there was nothing. Nothing. Her head was swimming like it was underwater. She couldn't move. She couldn't move. Her vision blurred, a man was speaking but she couldn't hear his words. She felt the sword in her chest, but it wasn't there. He killed him. He killed him. Breathe. Did she stop? Breathe. The man, she could hear him speaking. What was he saying? Breathe. She inhaled a deep breath. And another. Then another. Things started to clear. "Breathe. That's right," the warrior coaxed. She started to take another settling breath, and his face came more into focus. The first thing she noticed was his piercing green eyes. She had never seen eyes quite like that before. She stared into them, mesmerized. He mimicked a breath and she took it with him. She was coming back. "I will not hurt you," the man kneeling before her promised.
