Cat had fled her home after her parents' deaths, and hid her strangeness at Art School in sleepy Hobart, Tasmania, far away from all she knew. She'd made friends, got a job, even rented a flat, leading an (almost) normal life. She still carried a wicked sharp knife hidden in her bag, but she was happy. Normal.

Then the Book of Silences fell into her hands, and another world was revealed, hidden deep within our own. A world full of magical creatures and people. A mythical landscape, full of extinct beasts and fairy-tale folk, ruled with an iron fist by the council of magic. Who had just discovered the existence of a certain book of power. A book they would go to any lengths to recover.All Rights Reserved

Tempris by StephieFisher

[Watty's Shortlist & WATTPAD PICKS -- Up and Coming List 06.07.2018] Now Available on Amazon!!! His hands moved down to cradle her neck. "I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.

Sense of Self by PowersTheTiddyGoblin

Evanora Ravenscroft comes from a long line of a dying race, thought to have long been driven to extinction: the witch race. Fabled in the mage community to be a distant legend of vile, curse ridden demons, the last time a witch was encountered, the world was plunged into the dark ages. But Evanora knows the truth of her people, and she's running out of time. Born as normal, loving people, witches have a rich culture and traditions spanning generations. Bonding for life as teens and having children early in life, they live their lives to the fullest before they begin to forget their families and friends. Most witches become complete amnesiacs by the time they're 25. Along with this amnesia, witches begin to generate and pour magic from their bodies. And continue to do so until they die. The adult amnesiac stops needing sustenance and becomes a purposeless roaming force of nature, drifting where its whim takes it and unintentionally affecting everything in its path, whether positively or negatively. Now 21, Evanora, is running out of time. Each day, the image of her parents wandering into the forest to never be seen again grows fainter, and accidents keep happening around her. In all her race's history, no witch has ever avoided their fate. Her resources are limited, and she's desperate to find a way to stop the corruption. But the only source of knowledge that may help her is the world renowned academy for mages, the magic users that nearly drove her species to extinction... Can she save herself the fate of becoming an empty shell of chaos, or will she lose herself trying to do the impossible?

Who Is Brinley Zora? by whatafreak13

Let me be straight up and say, this is extremely unedited. I wrote this in the notepad on my phone a couple years ago when I was in an entirely different place in my life. It's not the best, there are a few holes, but I had fun writing it and I love my characters, so do with this information what you will. If you hate it don't read it. With that I give you the description. What if I told you all things that go bump in the night were real? All the monsters from scary stories. You wouldn't believe me right? That's insane, or so Brinley had once thought. Brinley Zora, your normal everyday 24 year old video game streamer. She was normal, in every possible sense of the word, or at least she used to be before strange dreams and occurrences started happening to her on a regular basis. Secrets, death, twists and turns, impending doom. All of it to be discovered after shes told her families history. Friendships bonded over generations. Bonded by unseen other worldly forces. Can Brinley and her friends save a world dictated by a single family for almost 27 years? *I own all ideas, plots, and characters. This story is my baby. You wouldn't steal someone's baby right? (I dont own face claims or music used or referenced obviously)*

Wonderland by Ceoberus

A young girl, separated from her family, wakes in the middle of a dark forest. She remembers not even her own name, yet she knows she has to go back home. Accompanied by a lively talking cat, they notice they're not alone in the woods as something sinister begins to close in on them.

The Wolf Witch by cheeseisjar

Sora has no place in the world. She is meant to be a strong warrior, with the ability to shift into a wolf. She is none of those things, and looked down upon because of it. It brings shame to her, it brings shame to her family, and worst of all, it brings shame upon her prideful and strong brother. There is but one person who truly knows and loves her, but does he really? Magic is not the weapon of a warrior, magic is the weapon of a coward. Sora has been told that all her life, but she has magic within her, recently awakened, and so she has begun to doubt it. Still, witchcraft is punishable by death, and so Sora must be careful with her practices, lest she lose all she has. Sora is a better witch than wolf, though not by much, but she still pursues that craft in spite of the dangers. Her place in the world is a dangerous one, but will it last? The world she lives in is a dangerous one, and such a life as hers rarely ends happily. Disclaimer: this is a short prequel, Sora's story does not conclude with this one. If you finish this book and go "oh, that's the end?" it's because it's not the end. I'm writing a trilogy called Mortance that explores the larger world that this takes place in and concludes Sora's story more thoroughly than in this book. Go read that next if you like my writing, thanks. Please leave any and all criticisms you might have, anything you like and anything you dislike, I want to make this as good as I can. P.S. the cover is literally just a drawing I made in physics class, I know it's bad, I'm not an artist.

Secrets of the Sea by radicalrayray
