The Silent Element by books_mistries

When sixteen-year-old Neel Sharma steps into the Ceremony of Light, all he carries is hope - hope to rise above his poor beginnings, to prove he's more than a forgotten boy from the lower wards. Every initiate awakens one element. Fire. Storm. Water. Earth. But when Neel touches the Origin Crystal, the world shatters. Fire erupts from one hand, lightning from the other - two elements at once. A power that should not exist. The Crystal cracks, the Elders recoil, and the whispers begin: Shattered Core. Cursed. Dangerous. The Academy doesn't know whether to crown him... or destroy him. Among his peers, the fracture spreads. Aarav Menon, once Neel's childhood friend, now burns with envy as Neel steals the attention he craved. Leela Deshmukh, gentle and steadfast, refuses to abandon Neel even as fear surrounds him, her loyalty glowing warmer than she dares admit. And Shanaya Rajput, the Academy's fiery prodigy, sees Neel as the one rival who might eclipse her - a rival she is determined to claim before he destroys them all. But the true danger lies deeper. In the shadows of the fractured Crystal stirs a prophecy older than the Academy: "When flame and storm clash in one vessel, the Serpent shall awaken... Chains may bind it, or the world will burn." Haunted by whispers only he can hear, torn between loyalty and rivalry, Neel must fight not just for his place in the Academy - but for his very soul. Because the storm inside him is not his alone... and if it breaks free, no chain in the world can hold it.

The Queen Of Impulse by EmilyKade

That day, I had no idea my world was about to collapse. I ran into the fire to save a little girl... and failed. Since then, the flames haunt my dreams - over and over again. Until one morning, I woke up with a mark on my skin. That's where it all began. Something inside me awakened - wild, dangerous, uncontrollable. I nearly killed a man, just by losing control. Then came the truth: There's a world hidden from human eyes. A world where all the legends we grew up with are real. And now, I'm part of it - chosen by an ancient power. But legends never tell you what it's like to love someone you shouldn't. I fell for him - my friend's brother. A love forbidden. A love doomed from the start. His smile is my light. His voice - my sentence. And the harder I try to forget him, the deeper I fall. To escape my fate, I entered Sangrael Academy - where witches, demons, angels, vampires, elves, and fae study side by side. Soon, I'll be their prey. But if fate has already decided my death - so be it. My life was broken long ago anyway.

The first day at a new boarding school can be hard. Settling in at his uncle's school became more challenging for Park Junseo when his new roommate needed protection. Before long, strange powers reveal an uncomfortable truth. This stand-alone, short story continues the Crystal Accords adventures in the imagined kingdom of Corinna. It gives another perspective on the intersection of politics and magic in this world. Honestly, the whole series started as a vague type of fanfic therapy for my K-drama/boyband obsessions. It grew into something else all together. I need to get back to more of my work-a-day sort of writing so hope this will hold you for a bit. I will start posting volume two in spring 2022. Until then....Fair Winds. A.L.

Eldryn Academy and the Games of Destiny by PRKingsmen

Mira's world is unraveling, and this time, survival isn't enough. As she enters her third year at Eldryn Academy, Mira is no longer the uncertain girl who stumbled through magic she didn't understand. She's become a force to be reckoned with-powerful, feared, and marked by destiny itself. But power has made her a target, and the academy's hallowed halls now feel more like a battleground than a sanctuary. Games of Destiny has begun, and ancient forces long thought extinct are awakening with a hunger that threatens to consume everything Mira has fought to protect. But these forces don't just seek her magic, they're targeting everything she holds dear.

The bonds she forged are under siege. Void magic seeps into the cracks of trust, turning friends against each other and twisting love into weaponized doubt. The power within her is growing-wild, untamed, and terrifyingly potent. But the void forces know that breaking her spirit matters more than breaking her magic. As enemies close in to tear apart her world piece by piece, she must answer the question that has haunted her since the beginning: Can she protect both true forces of Elemental power and her heart, or will she be forced to sacrifice one to save the other? ❤️💫 Return to a world where magic demands everything, love defies fate, and one girl must defend not just her power, but every precious bond that makes her whole.💫❤️

Witchbound 1 by ELKrraz

In a small, seemingly ordinary town, Selene has always felt like she's just another face in the crowd. Her life revolves around the typical high school experiences-hanging out with friends, navigating the ups and downs of teenage life, and managing the constant buzz of schoolwork and daily routines. To the outside world, it's a life like any other, filled with the usual moments of frustration and joy. Yet, beneath the surface of this mundane existence lies a hidden world, one that Selene never could have imagined. Magic, mystical creatures, and ancient forces have quietly coexisted with her reality, just out of sight. It's a world governed by secrets, where the extraordinary is concealed by the normal. When Selene's life unexpectedly takes a turn, she is drawn to Eldermyst Academy, an ancient, secluded institution that holds the key to her true potential. The academy is a place far removed from her small-town life, a place where the supernatural is a part of everyday existence. Here, Selene begins to uncover her own latent powers, powers that have been dormant for years. The stark contrast between her once predictable world and the strange, mystical realm she enters becomes the foundation for her transformation. As she explores secret locations, encounters creatures beyond imagination, and navigates the complexities of magical realms, Selene begins to realize that her journey isn't just about surviving the chaos of two worlds colliding-it's about mastering the forces within herself, understanding the legacy that runs through her veins, and coming to terms with the power she holds. Each challenge she faces, each discovery she makes, takes her further away from the life she knew, and closer to a destiny that was always waiting for her.
