In the world of Serna, magic is well-known and well-studied. Those who wish to bend reality to their will come to Sigilspear University, the best mage's university on Serna.
Shadowcast follows Liza Hawken, an average girl from a small border town, who lies about herself to all of her new friends. This becomes harder and harder as close bonds are forged in the fires of academia. Perhaps if she lives this lie long enough, it will become the truth?
Oh, and there are also some side plots about angel-demon custody feuds, an adorable trans romance, the struggle of learning in a system built for "normal people," and the looming threat of a banished elder evil crawling back into reality.

Virelight Trilogy - Book Two - Of Broken Fear and Buried Love
The shards are calling. And this time, the stakes are deeper than secrets. Elara and her (mostly) loyal companions set off to find the next two shards: one born of Fear, the other of Love. Simple, right? The Shard of Fear lies hidden in the heart of Mirrorwood-a haunted forest known for its vanishing paths, echoing illusions, and tendency to snack on unwelcome visitors. And the Shard of Love? That one's buried somewhere far more personal: Elara's childhood home. With Rowan growing quieter, Valen growing bolder, and a mysterious mimic lurking just out of sight, the road ahead twists with riddles, half-truths, and ancient magic better left forgotten. As the line between friend and foe begins to blur, Elara must confront what frightens her most... and what she's still willing to love. Heartfelt, humorous, and brimming with fantasy, Book Two of the Virelight Trilogy dives deeper into the threads that bind us-through fear, through love, and through the wild, weird wonder of it all. Because sometimes, the greatest magic is facing what's inside. Copyright ©️Complete
Untouched
He was forbidden magic wrapped in a mortal body. She was the spark that could burn him or save him. Of Fire and Shadow - Series Summary In a distant future, humanity has lost what once made it human. Souls are hollow. Emotions erased. The ancient walls dividing realms of Light (the Fae) and Shadow (the Demons) have collapsed, fusing time, worlds, and species into one fractured existence. To maintain control, the High Council outlawed the most dangerous force of all - feeling. Love, passion, grief, and joy are forbidden, declared the root of chaos that once ignited wars among realms. Peace was purchased through emptiness. Survival meant never truly living. But fate stirs in the gray between worlds. A woman named Samira, believing herself human, discovers she is the last royal of the Fae - a hidden ember of emotion in a world gone cold. When she crosses paths with Xalen, the ruthless King of Shadows, their connection awakens something long buried: desire, compassion, and the pulse of creation itself. Their forbidden love becomes the spark of rebellion - a rising storm to reclaim the right to feel, to live, and to love again. And once the soul of the world is reignited... nothing will ever be the same.
