After she braves a storm-tossed mountainside in search of reunion with a mother she hasn't seen for a decade, she discovers that she has the power to mimic the magic of others - an ability that sees her sentenced to death by the Lathrian Kingdom which controls her people.

When her mother sends her to a mysterious man who may be able to help with her problem, Lyssa could never have imagined that she would end up entangled in such a mess. Not only is the person who was supposed to help her missing, but she also finds herself in the very place she had dreamed of ever since she was old enough to understand what she wanted. Too bad the prestigious Aletheia Academy is nothing like she imagined. She will soon realize that even the walls in this place have secrets. Students are going missing in the middle of the night, and the high-ups act like they saw nothing. There's an extremely annoying young man who treats her like she's the center of all the problems occurring at the Academy, and her mind popping out new memories every five minutes is no help at all. Oh, and of course, there's the challenge of actually surviving the near-death race she signed up for without even knowing it. One month has never seemed so long as Lyssa tries her best not to get killed, kidnapped, or have her mind reduced to shreds - all while keeping in mind her main goal, without anyone else finding out about it.

Reverie of the Fallen Deity by TheSixthRose

The world of Alaris had always been one ruled by magic and the will of the gods. Most had some degree of renown or magical power, even attaining the status of so called Legends. A woman of no real renown, Alistaria had attempted to claw her way to some degree of notoriety with what little magical power she had. Achieving the rank of captain of a royal guard, she had expected to live a semi average existence. Sent on an expedition to find the source of an emerging insurrection, Alistaria finds herself in a nearly alien outpost in the middle of the desert. After a chance encounter in a place she shouldn't have been, she is infected by a monstrous creature and is forced to watch as she slowly succumbs to changes she didnt intend. Forced into the grip of a vengeful god and granted the power to corrupt the world around her, Alistaria must navigate her own maturation and avoid certain death at the hands of those she once called companions.

Kallos and Katara [Spin-off: The Styles Mansion] by Lark_Den

Important Notice before you start. This book is stand alone. But It's a spin-off of my another mystery-thriller-romance book called The Styles Mansion, where Harry's and Venessa's story takes place as in Eros's parents. A few glimpse of past might get add in this but not fully. For better understanding, you should read, The Styles Mansion first. Thank you enjoy your journey. Eros Styles, a sculpted psychopath by god, who can be stopped by only god. He is emotionless but has that one enthralling smile that would put any woman on her knees. Not to mention his deep dimples that are the icing on the cake. Charm, money and A level genius. He has everything including the urge to hang someone or skin them as he would watch them die slowly. Emptiness is a huge partner for him. He gets bored easily. Nothing holds his attention more than two days or one. Until an albino Fairy stumbled in front of him. What if Aeres Bellamira is his next chase and obsession? Aeres Bellamira, an albino girl who has been living her life in a shell, under the protection of her rich and powerful parents. She has everything. Power, money and fame. But she is unique. Not in characteristics but in appearance that might have put her into a life threat. Her entire life is messed up due to the bully in school and whenever she goes. Her life taught her nothing but pain that led her to be a kind hearted person. No amount of money could put an end to her misery. It became more drastic when she crossed her path with a beautiful narcissist monster, who claims he is obsessed with her.
