The Enchanted Divide by DiogoGonalves770

Elara Ravenshade has always known she was different. In a world where magic is outlawed and feared, whispers of forbidden power have haunted her dreams and ignited her imagination. Trapped in a mundane life in her isolated village, she longs for a destiny that feels just out of reach. When a mysterious letter arrives on her doorstep, summoning her to the legendary Academy of Nyx, Elara is thrust into a world of enchantment, danger, and ancient secrets. The Academy, hidden deep within the Forbidden Forest, is a training ground for those born with magic-a gift Elara never truly understood but now must master to survive. As she navigates the Academy's treacherous halls, Elara discovers she is more than just a student. She is the key to a prophecy that could either heal their fractured world or destroy it entirely. But not everyone at the Academy welcomes her with open arms. Among her allies and rivals is Kael, a brooding and enigmatic boy whose dark past intertwines with her own in ways neither of them could have foreseen. Torn between her growing powers, forbidden connections, and the weight of a destiny she didn't choose, Elara must uncover the truth about her lineage and the Academy's darkest secrets. Can she rise above the fear and mistrust to unite a divided world, or will the forces of darkness consume her and everything she loves?

Black Obsidian by mrsmoox

In the heart of the ruthless Solkarian Empire, where power is law and dissent is met with steel, Kaelis Valeran is a survivor of her own damnation. Branded a traitor for wielding the forbidden magic of the Obscuralis, she was torn from her home and imprisoned in the fortress of Vareth-a place where pain is a lesson and obedience is carved into flesh. Five years later, she no longer remembers the girl she once was. She has become a weapon honed in darkness, trained to kill at the Empire's command. But the world beyond Vareth has not forgotten her. Elias Prian, the boy who once swore to protect her, has spent years searching for the girl who vanished. When he finds her, he does not recognize the hardened warrior standing in her place. The Empire has twisted her into something unbreakable, something lethal-but not invincible. Dante Varos, the Empire's most feared general, is a man whose name alone is enough to break spirits. Cold, calculating, and bound to duty, he sees Kaelis as nothing more than another blade in the Emperor's arsenal-a tool to be sharpened and wielded, not trusted. But when a mission turns into a death sentence, they find themselves hunted by the very Empire that created them.

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.
