The Price of Innocence by TshepisoTsona4

"Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister. She's accepted the truth - her sister is gone, and nothing can change that. But everything shatters the moment she sees her again. Alive. Smiling. Real. Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places. Survival is only the beginning; when nothing is as it seems, even the purest hearts cast the darkest shadows.

Selena - The Twin Moons by MisterPilouPilou_eng

A young orphan with unique powers is on the run from assassins alongside a mysterious young man. 🌙 When passion and power collide, nothing-not even a prophecy-can dictate the future. 🌙 Selena wasn't meant to exist. Newly arrived in a distant family, she discovers she carries the powers of two feuding Lunn lineages: telekinetics and telepaths. An impossible combination that inspires both awe and fear. Hunted and thrust into the center of an ancient, ambiguous prophecy, she's forced to ally with Nikolas, an elusive boy whose cunning and silence conceal dangerous secrets. Between mistrust, biting remarks, and attraction, neither dares to admit a fragile bond form. Essential. And ready to shatter at the slightest misstep. While the prophecy identifies her as the phoenix, it also cautions that through her, an evil force will awaken. The enigma persists: is this shadow an object, or a person? Amid betrayals and revelations, hatred and passion, Selena must find her place in a world where power is memory and emotion-and where love may prove her greatest weakness. 🌙 If you enjoy low-fantasy tales with romance, suspense, and unexpected twists, this novel is for you. 🌙 A huuge thank you to @BleuSaphir51 for the stunning cover (which I translated)!

Veil of Control by asolauthor

Vesper has lived her life in the shadows, hiding a secret that could condemn her to chains- or worse. Born with forbidden telekinetic power, she knows what happens to those with gifts like hers: they vanish into the King's grasp, dragged from their homes and never seen again. Some say they're executed. Others whisper of hidden prisons beneath the palace. Vesper intends to find out. Disguised as a servant, she slips into the heart of the royal court, determined to uncover where the missing are taken and how she can help them. But the palace is a labyrinth of rivalries, lies, and hungry eyes, each more dangerous than the last. Prince Euris, the scholar with a kind smile and quiet defiance, draws her closer with a gentleness she hasn't known in years. With him, she begins to feel like more than just a survivor. But Euris is fighting battles of his own-and trusting him could tangle her heart in a war she can't afford to lose. And then there is Caen, the King's shadow and rumored telepath. His gaze strips her bare, his presence a weight pressing on her mind. Every encounter is a duel: his relentless probing against her fragile shields. Terrifying, magnetic, he knows she has secrets-and he won't stop until he unravels them. As war brews beyond the palace walls and loyalties fracture within them, Vesper finds herself caught between two powerful men, between desire and deception, between survival and sacrifice. But one truth grows sharper with every passing day: if she isn't careful, the palace will consume her, body and soul. And if Caen learns what she truly is, there will be no hiding at all.

As Red Light Strikes by Annaiswritingagain

The best place to start the story is at the very beginning, Aily just hadn't figured where it all had begun. Her whole life she had felt like her puzzle was missing pieces and every time she came close to find one it was harshly grabbed and put away out of her reach. That was all about to change, as Aily unprepared and out of place, finds her in the nightmare that is her school's arts trip to Greece and everything goes wrong. Finding her on a mysterious Island with only her best friend Remy and Carter Rose, the boyfriend of Sunshine Highs ice queen, Maribel Fellows. Aily's must find a way to survive in order to ever clear the tangled red thread that is her messed up life. With a friend gone missing, a quest to find him and the dangers of the island lurking in the shadows Aily has to decide if she is strong enough to fight for the truth or if she will remain one of the unsolved mysteries of the island. No one is safe, when the wrath of the red light, strikes but will there be time to solve the tangled thread and to make it out alive? *** As red light strikes is a complete story, apart of a longer series. This book is the first part in the series so it requires no knowledge of earlier events. Sub chapters will be posted to Wattpad once a day in the beginning. Later on the sequel to the book called "Not so dead after all" will be posted here as well.
