Left to fend for herself in a strange new town, Lily Griffin struggles to balance her desire for a fresh start with the ingrained instinct to isolate herself. But between the brownie that lives in her house and some nosy neighbours who are oddly insistent on her joining their secretive club, Lily isn't sure how long she can keep pushing people away. And she isn't sure she wants to.

Kentvale is a quiet town nestled deep in the backcountry. It boasts a hospital, an attorney's office, and the respectable (if often overlooked) Gemel Academy. You can find it on any map, but with no tourist attractions and the nearest town five hours away there really is no reason to visit. And that's just how the people of Kentvale like it. After all, when magic runs deep and wild through the hills, who knows what kinds of folk will be drawn in by the current.

SUNDAY UPDATES An arcane rogue witch and an elusive banished vampire team up to take on a Council that wants to control dark magic. * Elvira has never let the rules of magic define her. She's always pushed beyond the boundaries of arcane magic to create forbidden spells. But when her latest hex goes terribly wrong, she's taken to the Night Council -- where she discovers a terrible secret lurking. The Night Council wants to take away the power of all darkfolk and keep it under their control. All that power only available for their use. Elvira, of course, will not allow this to happen - but no one else seems any interested in stopping the Night Council. Which means she has to do it, but it can't be done alone. And so Elvira makes a blood debt with the one person strong enough to take down the Council and let dark magic stay free. A supernatural declared wanted by the Council themselves, a notorious outlaw and a banished Vampire. Azreal Dryden. She'll break the cuffs holding his magic back -- and in return, he'll take vengeance on the Night Council. No one can stand in the way of this demonic duo, because apart they're powerful but together they'll bring the Council to their knees. *** 🥇 First Place of the Rose Gold Awards 2025 for Vampire/Werewolf
The Phantom of the Woods by Bl00mingTales
20 parts Complete
In the quiet, superstitious town of Hollow's End, whispers circulate about a boy who lives deep in the woods-a boy cursed with half the face of a skeleton, feared by all who dare to speak his name. The townspeople warn that the forest is haunted, urging everyone to stay far from its shadowy borders. Lily, a daring 19-year-old who has never believed in old tales, sneaks into the woods one night, driven by her unshakable curiosity. There, she meets Kael, a mysterious and brooding figure whose life has been marred by a curse that forced him into isolation. Kael, now 23, lives alone in a secluded cabin, hiding behind a mask that conceals the skeletal half of his face. To his surprise, Lily isn't frightened by his appearance-she sees past the curse to the man he truly is. As the two grow closer, their bond begins to challenge the very beliefs that have kept Kael isolated for years. But the curse that haunts Kael runs deeper than anyone in the town knows. As Lily delves into the mystery of what really happened to Kael, she discovers that the curse isn't just about his appearance-it's tied to a dark secret that could destroy them both. In The Phantom of the Woods, Lily and Kael must face the unknown together, unearthing the truth behind the curse and testing whether love can break through the barriers of fear and isolation. Their journey leads them into the heart of the forest's darkness, where secrets, danger, and the very essence of Kael's humanity are at stake.

In a quiet, isolated village nestled deep within the forest, 16-year-old Elara has lived a life shrouded in mystery. Her village, once full of laughter and hope, is now crumbling under an oppressive curse. Crops fail, livestock grow sick, and the land itself seems to wither away. The villagers whisper of an ancient witch, who disappeared years ago, as the cause of their suffering. Desperate to end the curse and restore her homeland, Elara decides to take a bold step: she flees her village in search of the missing witch, hoping to uncover the truth and save everything she holds dear. Her journey takes her through dark, enchanted forests, treacherous mountains, and forgotten ruins, where she encounters creatures both wondrous and terrifying. Along the way, Elara learns that the witch was not a figure of evil, but a guardian of powerful magic, one whose disappearance has set a chain of events in motion that only she can reverse. As Elara uncovers long-buried secrets, she begins to realize that her own connection to the witch may be deeper than she ever imagined. She must navigate betrayal, unearth her hidden powers, and ultimately confront the darkness threatening her world. Time is running out, and Elara must decide: Will she be the savior her village needs, or will she become part of the witch's forgotten legacy? A tale of magic, mystery, and self-discovery, *The Witch's Call* explores themes of courage, destiny, and the blurred line between good and evil.
The Prophecy by lspearson

Ariella's biggest desire in life has always been such a simple one. She wants to be 'normal.' Unfortunately, that one simple wish has never been within her grasp. Coming from a long line of witches is bad enough, but she's even more different than the rest of her family. The fact that no one will give her any answers to why she's so different doesn't help matters. Her entire existence is shrouded in secrets that everyone around her refuses to reveal. After a family tragedy, she moves to a new town, and she gets her first chance to at least pretend to be 'normal.' For the first time, she's allowed to leave the house and go to an actual school. She makes friends, and she develops her first crush, that's quickly followed by her second. She's finally living the normal teenage life she'd dreamed of, but it doesn't last. Everything she believed about herself and the world around her is changed in an instant. Family secrets come to light one after another, turning her entire world upside down in the process. She quickly realizes that sometimes ignorance really is bliss, and maybe she didn't really want to know the answers to the questions she'd always asked, especially when one of these truths causes people close to her to turn their backs on her without hesitation. Before she can even recover from the shock, she's thrust into a war that she hadn't even known existed. Loyalties will be tested. She'll have to choose sides between all of the people she's come to care about. Will she stand with her family, her new friends, or the two boys who both hold a piece of her heart? One thing is for sure. She'll have to let go of her dream of 'normal.'
