Would you confess the lowest moment in your life and give up your best memory to gain abundance? In a city where humans are blind to the magic surrounding them, Ghanima is part of a group of millionaire sorcerers with exquisite tastes and exceptional gifts; one of them is granting abundance. While their power is formidable, it demands a steep price - those seeking its favor must confess their darkest sins and surrender their happiest memories, their judgment clouded by desperation. Extreme wealth and unimaginable opportunities are only for the daring individuals.

Introduction: Oz was once a land of magic and harmony, but under the rule of the cunning and oppressive Wizard of Oz, it has become a fractured kingdom. Magic, once a source of unity, is now a tool of fear and control. In the peaceful northern villages, a young wizard named Glanther lives a quiet life, using his gifts to heal and inspire his community through music. However, his world is shattered when the Wizard's forces arrive, demanding loyalty and taking his closest friend as a prisoner. Forced to confront the tyranny he once avoided, Glanther sets out on a journey to rescue his friend and protect his people. Along the way, he joins forces with Nerion, a fiery ally seeking his own family, and Glinda, a conflicted figure torn between loyalty and guilt. Together, they uncover the secrets of the Wizard's power, the legacy of Elphaba, and Glanther's destiny as the "Good Wizard of the North." In a tale of courage, redemption, and the enduring power of compassion, Glanther must rise to confront the Wizard and unite Oz against tyranny, proving that even the smallest light can guide a broken kingdom back to hope. !!Trigger Warning!! 📖✨ This novel, The Good Wizard of the North, is a creative spin-off inspired by the world of Wicked and The Wizard of Oz.

A Touch of Magic by Sarel303

"Usually innocents like you have time to grow into their magic before they have to break the rules. You don't have that time, Minta. Please believe me, you need to be ready. I'm risking everything to make you ready." I stopped and searched his eyes for further explanation, and there was a near moment of clarity before Edgar looked away, releasing me gently. "Risk what, Edgar?" A Touch of Magic... Minta has a choice; she can turn away from magic or embrace it. Desperate for a destiny, it's a no brainer. Guided by the cat who's been following her around, and her dead aunt's sidekick Gladys Jones, Minta begins by fixing problems with bullies, and finding Prince Charming for her b.f.f. Who'd of thought there were so many Cinderella's in need of makeovers? It's not long before Minta wants change her own romantic fortunes too (it's worked for everyone else). But life is never that simple and as Minta grapples with her future, there are others trying to stop her from having one. But who and why? Minta hasn't a clue. Though she does have her suspicions about the cat... Eventually, sacrificing her own (and very human) desires to follow her path, Minta's destiny becomes clear; this is a story of self-belief and resolution, first crushes & love (and the journey towards grasping the difference). Mostly though, this is a book about magic. Cover kindly made by @alessandra

Wicked Winter Book. 1 by AshtonMarie

{Completed} Highest Ranking: # 1 in Fantasy (01/28/17) Book. 1 My blood boiled at the thought of one of them in our streets, hidden in plain sight, perhaps even by one of the kids from the orphanages. Would it murder innocent human children? You bet. Would it even think twice about gutting a starving child? Never. What could do this, you're probably asking. But it boils down to one single word. One word that made anger I hadn't known I possessed, roar to life like a pissed off lion. One word that sent a cold chill spider-walking down my spine. Faeries. ------------ Eve Scotts's world is divided by magic - The Order of the Seven who rules over her kingdom with a steel fist and the murderous faeries's she'll be forced to fight when she turns eighteen. Eve is a dueler, a human that dabbles in the elements to fight in underground scuffles for some extra coin to feed her fellow orphans back home. But she has a secret weapon: She can wield ice magic - a magic that is only reserved for the High Witches at court. But she makes a mistake. She exposes herself. Rumors are spreading of a small orphan girl who can wield the power of ice, and it isn't long until the Order sends one of their own to snatch up the bounty. In exchange for the secrecy of her special gift, Eve agrees to participate in the Witches Academy, where humans are taught to wield the power of the elements and become powerful witch soldiers for the Order's disposal. As Eve is drawn further into the Witch world, she risks everything to learn more about her power and her lineage. With her frozen heart melting for the Count of Night, Sebastian O'Neill, Eve is thrown into a cyclone of love, betrayal, and family drama she hadn't even known an orphan could inherit. Soon, Eve must decide: Is love, or survival more important? Word Count: 102,000.

Heartless by Layanabella

"Which is it, Miss Young?" ❆ Once upon a time in a dying village, there lived a girl who dreamed of a life free of fear and death. She yearned for a world not ruled by the darkness and the demons awaiting her inside it... For nearly eighteen years, Adaira Young has been able to hide from the monsters that plague her small village. Every year in Kinnot, a name must be drawn to be offered to the beasts from the mountains. Once they are sacrificed and disappear through the gates, they are never seen again.
