For the last ten years, creatures known as Shadows haunt the town of Newdale, hunting the townsfolk and causing mischief and mayhem wherever they can.  Some in the city rise up boldly to try to fight against these foes, but not Darian.  Sixteen-year-old Darian Danforth VanEaton has never had any grand ambitions or outstanding life goals.  He is content in his life as the son of a gardener, and he has never minded the family's tradition to send one person to the Pontsworth Academy of Magical Defense.  He is perfectly willing to sit back and let life happen however it desires.  Big plans and goals are for other people, not for him.  He will do his best at whatever swordwork or mathematics homework is set before him, but he has no grand illusions that anything he could do will change the world.

Darian is soon to learn that such a disconnected outlook on life is not healthy when surrounded by a pack of deadly monsters with nothing but a small suitcase to protect himself and the Shadowmancer himself closing in on him.  Perhaps in order to truly live his life, it is time to make some decisions.

Discovering the Ligon by JadeRyan059

Warning: This story is for mature audiences only. It contains language and scenes that would get this story rated R if it was a movie. It is also RH - reverse harem. Blurb: When you make friends as children, you imagine you'll stay friends forever. It's a childlike hope and guilelessness about the real world. I had that with Ryker, Ryan, and Zeke. But everything changed when we turned 15. Ryan left first. Distanced himself from our group. Then Ryker and Zeke. Ryker abandoned me to the gossip from the incident while Zeke watched me verbally, and sometimes physically, be harassed. No one cared. Not them. Not the adults, the protectors in the Pride. I was an outcast because of my birth. The abomination that shouldn't exist. Finally, my 18th birthday was coming up. I could leave. Be free from the ridicule and dirty looks. Snide comments. Until Ryker returned with a secret about me and all hell broke loose. The question is... Will the guys stay this time or leave me to face this secret alone?

Two months after finding out that they have magical abilities, Quinn is still struggling to come to terms with the fact that they're a witch. It becomes even more difficult when another, significantly more troubling talent starts to emerge: the ability to see ghosts. ***** Even though Quinn tries to ignore the spirits haunting the old college campus, they soon find themself inexplicably drawn to Vincent, a boy from the 1930s with a sweet disposition and a tragic past, and his rag-tag group of ghosts. Before they know it, they find themself on a desperate hunt for answers and artifacts from their former lives, aided by Luis, a charming coffin maker with a penchant for the paranormal who Quinn can't seem to stay away from. In the end, it all comes down to one question: to accept or not to accept their magic? Spoiler alert: caring more and more about the ghosts you're supposed to set free doesn't make things easier.

The Five Dimensions Part 1: Shadow World by daphneck

Hailey Fell didn't fit in at Pinemarsh High, but if she'd known what was about to happen, she would've taken getting smoothies dumped on her head any day... Hailey didn't want to fit in anyway. The idea of perfect for Pinemarsh was not something she wanted to associate herself with. She had her dad and best friend Nolan, and she liked spending most of her time in the forest where she lived with her dad. But life wasn't easy when the two most popular people in High school had it out for you. She had been counting the days until graduation since kindergarten and now that she started her Senior year, her freedom was finally in sight. Then something strange started happening to her. Something, or someone, showed up in the forest. The shadow followed her around but never came close enough for her to see who, or what, it was. But this was only the start. Hailey was about to find out that she played a critical role in a world that she didn't know existed. Whether she liked that role or not, she had no choice but to take it. Even if she didn't know what it was going to cost her.
