All her life, Seraphina has been hidden away in the enchanted forest with her guardian, Calla. The result of a secret relationship between the daughter of one of the most influential families in the country, and a mysterious and extremely powerful Ethereal, it is imperative that Seraphina's identity remain a secret - at least until she is powerful enough to protect herself against the many enemies of her parents. 

So, when a tutor from the prestigious Amber Cove Academy appears, Seraphina disguises herself as a Stain; a member of the slave race controlled by magically gifted Ethereals. 

Thanks to years of Stain and Ethereal relations, it isn't uncommon for Stains to have powers of their own. Because of this, every year, tutors from Amber Cove travel the country in search of champions to attend the academy. 

This year, Seraphina is one of the champions. 

Soon, Seraphina finds herself in the competitive world of the Academy, where no one is truly your friend and image and reputation are everything. Seraphina has to learn quickly how to fit in, her survival in the Ethereal world depends on it. Of course, that is easier said than done when Ethereals refuse to treat the Stain champions with any respect. 

School bullies are the least of Seraphina's problems, however. The longer she stays at the Academy, the longer strange things start to happen. Whispers in the walls, strange visions, and students getting injured can only be the cause of a darkness that plagues the halls of the Academy which is somehow linked to Seraphina. 

To make matters worse the gods that watch over them are more active than ever and their cruelty knows no bounds. 

Seraphina finds herself thrust into the middle of wars between strange and ancient entities. Secrets are unravelled, and the more Seraphina learns about her world and herself, the more the gods' eyes fall on her.

Tides of Ruse and Ruin by rottiedog22

In the enchanted lands of Terra, Delphina's once-bright village is falling apart under a dark curse. As hope fades, Dela, a bold young girl with hidden powers, meets Vander, the striking god of War. Their brief but powerful bond sparks hope in her, but Vander soon disappears, leaving Dela filled with longing. Determined to save both her village and Vander, Dela strikes a deal with Ruse, the tricky god of bargains-who may be the very one behind her village's curse. In return for his help, she must find the fabled Death Pearl, a treasure with strange, dark powers. As she sets off, Dela learns she can control water and influence minds-powers that shouldn't work on gods. Yet, for reasons she can't explain, Ruse falls under her control, something no other god has faced. Though Ruse helps her, his anger toward her is clear in every word and action. He hates her for reasons she can't understand, even while his charm and illusions pull her in. Confused by her growing feelings for him, Dela starts to question why he is the only god affected by her powers-and why he resents her so deeply. As Dela travels through the dangerous lands of the gods, she must face the truth about Ruse's hatred, her own powers, and the mysteries of the Death Pearl. She needs to break the curse, find Vander, and figure out her tangled bond with Ruse. But in a world full of lies and trickery, will she save her home-or lose everything she loves?

Nephilim: Genesis by ilovekalilove

Fifteen-year-old Daxton Jackson lived a normal, privileged life with his mother, District Attorney June Jackson, in Atlanta. But everything changed when he was recruited to a mysterious new school in Alexandria, Virginia: AZ Academy. It's not just any school-it's a training ground for children who are descendants of Nephilim, the powerful offspring of the Sons of God and the Daughters of Adam. Most students at AZ Academy are gifted intellectually, but a rare few possess active abilities, powers ranging from telekinesis and premonitions to telepathy and spontaneous combustion. These exceptional students are known as The Elite. AZ Academy's mission is twofold: to shape its gifted students into the future doctors, scientists, engineers, and leaders of a new world, and to train The Elite as soldiers, preparing them for the ultimate battle of Armageddon against the coming of the Antichrist. For Dax, life at AZ Academy becomes even more complicated when he begins to experience premonitions-visions of the future that show glimpses of death, chaos, and the danger his friends face. As the lines between prophecy and reality blur, Dax is forced to confront the weight of his new abilities, the dark fate that awaits them all, and the question that haunts him: Can he change what's destined, or is he too late to save his friends-and himself?

Pearl Academy I The Emergence by queen_narix

The night is dark. There's no moon, no stars. We rush through the thicket of the woods. The sound we hear is the pounding of our running feet. We run into low hanging branches, fighting against them until we stumble until a clearing. My partner grabs my arm and leads me down another path. "Wait! Where are the others?" I shake my arm from their grasp. "Where are they?" There was a stillness to the dark woods. The type of stillness that holds danger within its shadows. "They'll be fine!" I get pulled back down the path that I was being led to anyhow. "They know what to do. They won't find us if we stay separated." I ran alongside my hidden pair. The moon is at its peak at night. It shows us the way. "It's not him I am worried about, Sunistral. It's her." I hear a sharp breath behind us. I swear it was! But it was disguised as a searing gust of cold wind. When I looked back, there was nothing. Just an endless pit of darkness. It was then that I knew that it had found us. This dream somehow finds me ever night. And every night I wake up in absolute confusion. I have no memory of my parents or where I came from. The only true constant of my existence is the visits that my nightmares make at night and during the day. I have yet to understand the echos of them. Until I find myself where it all began: at Pearl Academy.

Four Walls (Book One) ✔️ by neurotick

"You ungrateful bitch. I keep a roof over your head, and this is the thanks I get?" "You could have killed her," I retort, trying to muster up confidence that I don't possess. "What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes. "No wonder Mom left! She probably couldn't bear to spend another second with-" I'm pushed to the floor. I scramble backwards as he approaches me, his cheeks scarlet with rage, his pupils the size of needle points. In fourteen years, I've never seen him this mad. I've really done it this time. -------------------- (COMPLETED) Life is hard when nowhere feels like home. For Layla Dodds, there is only one goal: survival.

The Burning Desire Within by Midnight_Lily

~I felt it, the burning desire that lingered inside me. i couldn't control it, I felt my wings become tattered and change to black, I felt my red eyes darken, my hair becoming a deep reddish black. I felt my canine teeth extend, long black claws forced from my fingers where my nails used to be, a long slithering black tail had protruded from behind, the black horns that punched through the skin at the top sides of my forehead. I saw my entire skin was black. I wanted to control it, to force it back, to hide it, but I didn't want to. It had once again taken control of me, my body, my mind. Pushing my conscious to the furthest of my mind where it was clouded by the darkness that was currently exposed.~ An angel, named SIlver Ember, is shunned by all of angel society except by a select few.

She has no idea what's happening to her or what she's becoming until she has an interesting discussion with her mother. Is Silver a special angel or not even one at all?
