Magic

Nothing but an illusion to fool the crowd and pocket some extra change, or is it? My name is Alexis Blackheart, and Magic is my game. I love wowing the crowd with my tricks. New York is a hard place to make it in, but I knew just how to do it with a little sleight of hand. But one day, after making it home from my usual rounds, I get a Tarot Card from The Eye. But what could this mean? And what happens when the Five Horsemen make it live one year later? We're about to find out.

Look closely, and you'll miss me, but look far, and you just might find me hidden amongst the crowd...

Awakening - The Last Science #1 by Etzoli
143 parts Complete
No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series. New chapters will be posted on Fridays for as long as it takes to tell the whole story. For Wattpad only, chapters are split up by individual scenes-if you would prefer the whole chapters in single pieces, please visit my homepage or another site where I post this story, thanks!

Irresistible Deception by Moonlighton245
100 parts Complete Mature
Deception is an irresistible thing. It shows you how far you're willing to go to get what you want. It shows you what you want to see, but in the end; it leaves you with nothing to hold. An illusion to take pleasure in but make you question reality itself. BLAIR ANDERSON is quite a...strange girl. Despite the mistreatment and emotional neglect from her parents, she believes that deep inside everyone, there's always good. Because of her too trusting nature and her desire for love and affection she never received, it may lead to her ruination when she meets AMEO ADLER, who can be too...calm in frightening situations, for a lack of a better word. He's someone with an insatiable, dangerous appetite that he tries to hide from her. He would go lengths to prove to her how much she means to him, but to what extreme will he do that? Should there be a limit until it's becomes destructive? She will quickly realise that Ameo isn't what he deems himself to be; whether it's a good or a bad thing. She will soon learn that there's a frail, delicate line between protective and possessive; attraction and obsession; the admiration for someone and the desire to own one's being. She will later understand that not everyone who saves you is your guardian angel; and that sometimes, the devil does the saving instead. What happens when he enters her heart bit by bit? And after she falls into his love trap, perfectly made for her, will everything change? Just what could ever go wrong when a fiery rendezvous ignites between a gullible woman and an artful man? Nothing. Right? *Disclaimer! MATURE Content* Read this with caution, as it might be too much for some readers. If you can't handle it, it's best to stop for your sake because a lot of...things are going to happen in this story. <In Wattpad> Published: 12.02.2022 Finished: 12.05.2023 Ranks: #1 gaslighting #1 twisted #2 dark love #2 suspicion #3 deception #3 imprisonment #4 gamble #4 illusion #4 mania [Original Story]

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
