In an age where magic has become the stuff of legend, hidden within the folds of history, Alex Reed discovers his life is anything but ordinary. Born with powers he doesn't understand and cannot control, Alex finds himself caught in a web of danger, mystery, and ancient secrets as he navigates the complexities of being a modern-day magician in a world that has forgotten magic exists.

When a mysterious letter arrives, inviting him to Arcanum University, a hidden school for magicians, Alex sees a chance to escape the fear and isolation that have haunted him. But Arcanum is more than a school; it is a gateway to a hidden world, a sanctuary for those with magical abilities, and the center of a centuries-old struggle between forces seeking to control or liberate the magical world.

As Alex delves deeper into his training, he uncovers layers of his own heritage and a connection to a lost era when magicians walked openly among humans, revered as guardians of the natural order. With the guidance of Professor Caldwell and the enigmatic Marcus, Alex learns to master his powers, even as he finds himself drawn into the ongoing battle to protect the future of magic.

But shadows from the past loom large, threatening to unravel the fragile peace that has long existed between the magical and human worlds. When the government agents, tasked with controlling the remnants of magic, turn their attention to Arcanum, Alex must confront the reality of his destiny. He is not just a student; he is a symbol of hope for the magical community, a beacon of resistance against those who would see magic eradicated forever.

"Whispers of Arcanum" weaves a tale of adventure, legacy, and the unbreakable bonds of destiny. It is a journey into a world where the line between myth and reality blurs, where a young man must find his place in a legacy as old as time itself, and where the magic that binds the world together is both a gift and a curse.All Rights Reserved

No Good Witches | ONC √ by YoItsYeau

I'M GOING TO START EDITING THIS PROBABLY. If you go to Our Lady of the Black Veil Academy, chances are you know the names Cass Landry, Rebecca Lovelace, and Mallory Meksawan. Cass Landry being the mysterious new girl with a tendency to practice magic illegally, Rebecca being notorious for lighting up every room she walks into, and Mallory being the second in command it-girl of Black Veil, as famed as she is feared. After a magical attempt to escape detention goes terribly, horribly wrong and their ethics teacher winds up dead (ironic, they know), Cass must band together with Rebecca, the girl she "totally doesn't like", and Mallory, another girl she doesn't like (but like...for real this time) to find a spell that can bring their teacher back to life before her situation becomes permanent. A spell of this caliber, however, requires that they venture into the underground world of their picturesque town, striking a deal with a powerful gang leader that not only raises the stakes, but gives them an even tighter timeline. And though as a witch Cass has personal experience with life and death, the pressure that she's facing now might just be too tough to handle. Luckily, she's not alone. And with the three baddest witches of Black Veil, who knows what could happen. (So yeah I failed but I'm keeping ONC in the title okay let me have this)
