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...

Magic's Minister [COMPLETED] by Ellowyne
57 parts Complete
Feared by his enemies and tolerated by his allies, Sedgewick Alverdyne, the cynical Minister of Magic, was content with living an attachment-free life whilst striking fear into the hearts of witches, sorceresses, and wizards everywhere. And after several hundred years of faithfully serving the royal family, he's become very comfortable in his position-including his indispensability. But when a mysterious curse starts wreaking havoc on his powers, his stable existence is pulled out from under him. Facing old and new enemies on one side and his own department on the other, Sedgewick finds himself stranded with little magic and less help. With time of the essence, his reputation on the line, and no one willing to help but Feyla, his meddling-yet surprisingly devoted-assistant, he's forced to confront one of the few challenges he hasn't prepared for. Because a mage without magic isn't a mage at all... A Wattpad Featured Story Published August 12th, 2016. Completed August 20th, 2017.

❅| "Even a vastness can no longer shelter you... or engulf your dream." ⊱⋅ ──────────── ⋅⊰ [UNDER EDITING/REDRAFTING - latest chapter: 8] To a world seemingly shrouded in a cloak of safety and eternal peace, death is an unimaginable concept. Yet for those whose rule of life was mere survival, perhaps that's a different situation. For those who stood in the face of adversity, for those who refused to give in to the castigation of their lives, life has no sweetness to it. Merely the bitter tang of a blood-chilling revenge. To avenge a loved one or perhaps even their own pain, the murderous intent behind their deceitful eyes is unmistakable. For to them, lamenting about the past is a life lost to the cruel hands of fate. What happens when a woman as brilliant as the morning sun provides a haven in one's dreams? What happens when she, despite the agonies life carried, says to abandon everything right here and now and leave? Alcestis did not need to be told twice. Seizing the chance to escape the horrible clutches of her grandparents, she sets out on a journey to find the Elementals - a band of heroes protecting the human realm from those that lied beyond, headed by her parents. She knew of the darkness that festered within her; she knew of the hatred that danced in her heart. More than anything, she knew the extents of how fragmented her soul was. What, perhaps, would unfold when she sets out on her journey, leaving behind the world she knew; leaving behind what hopefulness remained in her battered heart? None would heed her an answer, indeed. None save for the rage that tainted her being.

Zara was leaving the man who she considered to be the love of her life, who'd become her first ever home, to pursue her life-long dreams. Heartbroken yet determined, she arrives in U.S.A. to work in her favourite publishing company. Miles away, Zach's life was going perfect, until he's suddenly left behind by the woman he was ready to spend the rest of his life with. Left to pick up the pieces of his broken heart, he's having a hard time moving on. It is when the two broken hearts meet, tangled up in sheets that eventually tangles up their lives. Forced to live with their choices and hoping to make it out of the mess that their lives have been, the last thing the two ever wanted was to fall for each other. When choices needs to be made and priorities be set, they are conflicted. After all, the worst thing that could happen to you is meeting the right person at the wrong time. *** "I never thought that amidst all of the chaos, I would get to meet a man capable of such compassion. A man with a golden heart. A man such charming--", my voice broke, but I knew I had to tell him this, "and loving that sometimes just renders me speechless." Tears fell down my eyes. He smiled. "I never thought I'd meet a woman of such strength, resilience and confidence that you possess. A wonderful woman who makes me realize just how fortunate I am to be a part of her life." The ache in my chest heightened. "But I'm not the woman for you." ___ Ranked 1st in #one-night-stand - 12/12/2020 Ranked 1st in #earlylover - 28/09/21 Ranked 1st in #morals - 27/08/2021 Ranked 3rd in #romancereads2020 - 02/006/2021 Ranked 6th in #strongwoman - 15/04/2021 Ranked 6th in #earlylover - 07/06/2021
The Wolf Witch by cheeseisjar
9 parts Complete Mature
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.
