A humble potion-maker with barely a token to her name. A bright, responsible daughter as well as a caring sister. A girl with big aspirations and a fiery yearning to study the mystic arts. And now she's a...sorcerer in training? After a life-altering accident, fourteen-year-old Elaine Harwood finds herself standing at the gateway to a new world. She is someone who possesses an above-average aptitude for practicing magic: a mage. However, when her older brother is left unable to walk due to a brutal injury, she is granted the chance to take his place at Glyph Academy, the country's most prestigious magic-teaching institution. Now, all she needs to do is survive a school filled with lunatic teachers, unorthodox classes, and a homeroom crammed with talented yet half-baked nobles. A tall order, to be sure.

And the one person who's never looked twice at anyone, is now the only one looking at her like he sees everything. In a school full of secrets, trials, and divided loyalties, she'll have to choose: obey the light... or listen to the dark. He was made of shadow. She was born in light.

His FireLily - (Shadowed Secrets #2) by LosMarino

Carissa Belfiore's mission was simple; hunt down the man terrorising her city and burn his syndicate's web of deceptions to the ground. The catch though? She must work together with the devil in disguise. 𐀔𐀔𐀔 Four months after the trail went dark, Cara and her team gain a second chance at retribution, at tracking down the man responsible for the mysterious chain of disappearances plaguing the streets of her town. Retribution, though, comes at a cost. Missing people and stolen identities unsolved, Cara's boss presents to her with a new ultimatum. She must pursue this mission with Asrea's top (infuriating) agent or lose the rights to the case. With no other choice, Cara must learn to thread the thin line of peace with the devil disguised as a federal agent, one who has little belief in patience and even less so for mistakes. Much like everything else though, it was easier said than done. As the two of them begin to dismantle the empire brick by brick, Cara finds herself pulling at loose strings tying the pieces of the missing puzzles connecting her past to her present. Strings, she soon realises, had been buried by the hands of someone desperately trying to keep her from finding out the truth. A truth that might just break her. No retrogrades, no reversals, and no unknowing the known. If only she could've done it alone, for even the devil must be paid his dues. The devil whose icy, blue eyes never fail to see through every shield and every shadow she'd built around her heart, the very shadows that seem to calm within his presence. The man whose icy rage threatens to thaw her blazing heart. 𐀔𐀔𐀔 First Draft Completed on 12/1/2025 Completed on 12/3/2025

The Guy from the Insane Asylum by TheGoddessOfTheStars

A supernatural romance with twisted pasts, magic, psychics, and murder. And yeah, high school drama. "Pretty much a Mr. Badboy & Girl story but with literal magic and witches involved." - The Author of This Book ~ When Bethany Harlow's parents force her to volunteer at their local Dared Insane Asylum, she's forced to lie to all her friends about her after-school whereabouts. Zachary Jaxston was the reason she didn't want anyone to know where she spent her free time. He was the talk of the town four years ago, and she knew that if her volunteering were to be public news, his popularity would rise again. Everyone from her high school would mock her for hanging out with The Mother Murdered & Hallucinator. But he wasn't as crazy as he made people believe. Bethany was determined to find out the real reason Zachary was admitted into a mental institution. He didn't seem like a guy who could kill, especially not his own mother. However, her determination led her straight into the discovery of Zachary's supernatural abilities-that could in fact potentially hurt Bethany. But when she found out Zach was a male witch, a wizard, a portal to all things supernatural opened in her mind. She even made a few discoveries about herself and her family, the Harlow's. Slowly, together, they explore all the possibilities of magic. But when Bethany has a freak accident and almost kills a guy, their whole world flips upside down. Now, Bethany, Zach, and the rest of the Harlow family have to figure out a way to escape the dark and save Bethany. Will they be able to do it before it's too late? Or will Bethany become on of the endarkened? ~ ❝You should be scared of me.❞ ❝I know. But I'm not.❞ ❝I could hurt you.❞ ❝But you won't.❞ ❝You don't know that.❞ ❝But . . .
