All Jade Omrie wanted was to join Blackwood Academy and fight in the war against the rebels. That was her duty. Her calling. The one thing she had worked for all her life. She wanted to to use her magic for good... she just had to figure out what house she belonged to. However, only the sorting stone at Blackwood could determine what magical abilities lied dormant under her skin. 

But when sorting day comes and Jade doesn't get the house she predicted, fear begins to eat at her. It's not because she didn't get fire magic like she hoped for or that she was barren of all magic... It's because she woke the one house that had been asleep for centuries, House Shadowson. And with its wake comes a mysterious, brooding house protector known as Nightshade. 

And he does not like Jade one damn bit for waking him.

Of Blood and Duty by WhiteGoldFangs
29 parts Complete Mature
Wattpad Exclusive! Nearly beaten to death, a man wakes up in a place he does not know. Neither can he remember how he even ended up there. Waking up in the middle of a road he discovers a world of pain only to drift off into unconsciousness again. His body having been crushed and broken beyond his wildest dreams. Falling out of consciousness from the pain, he later wakes up in a bed. A new place he does not know, but being looked after by someone. A woman. Why was he in the care of this beautiful but strange person? How had he ended up in her care? Why had she taken him in and why was she and everyone else so guarded around him? Determined to make his way back home, wherever that may be, the man soon realizes that things are not as easy as he first had thought. Learning to fit in with the people who took him in at the brink of death, he learns that a war is raging between two kingdoms, and which one he belongs to, he cannot remember... if he belongs with to any of them. All he has to remind him of his life before is a sword with a crest of two lions on its pommel... and a woman named Jade who screams for him in his sleep. This is a spin off of The Prince's Choice and Hunted Queen. I recommend reading those two before this one to get the best experience possible!

Soul Searcher by Lady_Rachella
5 parts Ongoing
The day Elara Vale almost lost her sister, the world shifted. Roots tore through the soil at her touch, shadows bent unnaturally, and in one heartbeat, everything she thought she knew cracked apart. Her mother's truth followed soon after: magic was real, it lived in her blood, and it was time she faced the Academy. Caelestis Academy is nothing like Elara imagined. Towers carved with runes rise over a mist-filled gorge, students are sorted into factions of Earth, Water, and Air-and everywhere she turns, the absence of a fourth lingers like a scar. Soul. Erased. Condemned. Forbidden. While others wear their trauma like a badge, Elara carries only questions-and a secret she can't afford to reveal. Because the fire burning inside her does not belong to the earth she's been claimed by. It belongs to the one element the world has sworn to fear. Haunted by whispers, tangled in rivalries, and pulled toward friendships she never expected, Elara must decide who she can trust before the shadows beneath the school rise again. Some truths are heavy enough to break you. Others can set the world on fire.
Luna by sweetarcher23
19 parts Ongoing
Luna's magic has a pulse of its own. A second heartbeat beneath her skin-restless, watchful, and growing stronger. Once a nameless orphan rescued from the ruins of the Witch Domain, Luna is raised as the heir to Moonhaven, a kingdom built on moonlight and fragile peace. Chosen to rule, she becomes both shield and symbol for a world still scarred by war. Her magic is powerful, immediate, and indispensable-but it is no longer entirely hers. As ley lines weaken and ancient forces stir, the darkness entwined with Luna's power begins to surface. It hums in her veins, bleeds into her spells, and tightens its grip with every life she saves. Each battle fought in defense of her people brings the shadow closer to the surface. When the darkness lives beneath your skin, how long can you command the light before it answers something else?
Wicked House by laurenbrazz
20 parts Complete
At Hollowthorn Academy, every first-year is sorted into one of four magical Houses based on their magical aura and fate. House Liora for the brave, House Solis for the wise, House Mare for the loyal, and House Vire for the ambitious. But when seventeen-year-old Ivy Vale, a seemingly non-magical orphan, is accepted into Hollowthorn under mysterious circumstances, the Sorting Spell does something no one has seen in over a century: It places her in House Umbra-a House that's supposed to be sealed forever. A House built for those destined to bring ruin. Suddenly, she's surrounded by whispers, side-eyes, and warnings. Everyone thinks she's a villain in the making. And the worst part? The only person who offers her help is the school's golden boy: Hunter Drake, top student, top spell-caster, and the literal poster boy for House Liora. He's charming, perfect, and way too curious about her. But the deeper Ivy digs into Umbra's secrets, the more she realizes: she was never meant to be part of their system-and Umbra wasn't meant to be locked away. It was meant to rise.
