Witchbound 1 by ELKrraz

In a small, seemingly ordinary town, Selene has always felt like she's just another face in the crowd. Her life revolves around the typical high school experiences-hanging out with friends, navigating the ups and downs of teenage life, and managing the constant buzz of schoolwork and daily routines. To the outside world, it's a life like any other, filled with the usual moments of frustration and joy. Yet, beneath the surface of this mundane existence lies a hidden world, one that Selene never could have imagined. Magic, mystical creatures, and ancient forces have quietly coexisted with her reality, just out of sight. It's a world governed by secrets, where the extraordinary is concealed by the normal. When Selene's life unexpectedly takes a turn, she is drawn to Eldermyst Academy, an ancient, secluded institution that holds the key to her true potential. The academy is a place far removed from her small-town life, a place where the supernatural is a part of everyday existence. Here, Selene begins to uncover her own latent powers, powers that have been dormant for years. The stark contrast between her once predictable world and the strange, mystical realm she enters becomes the foundation for her transformation. As she explores secret locations, encounters creatures beyond imagination, and navigates the complexities of magical realms, Selene begins to realize that her journey isn't just about surviving the chaos of two worlds colliding-it's about mastering the forces within herself, understanding the legacy that runs through her veins, and coming to terms with the power she holds. Each challenge she faces, each discovery she makes, takes her further away from the life she knew, and closer to a destiny that was always waiting for her.

The Academy of Shadows by jncarriere

Magic. Bloodlines. Secrets buried in shadows. The heir to the Four Kingdoms was never meant to be found. When sixteen-year-old Princess Lyra Voss arrives at the Academy of the Arcane Veil, she carries more than her royal blood-she carries a prophecy, a curse, and a legacy lost to time. The Academy promises sanctuary. Training. Answers. But its halls whisper secrets, and not all of them want her to survive long enough to hear the truth. As Lyra is drawn into a world of forbidden magic, political intrigue, and ancient power, she discovers the ruined city of Velmora-a forgotten fifth kingdom buried in myth and shadow. The more she learns, the more impossible her future becomes: a lost twin brother, a cursed crown, and the echo of a war that never truly ended. Allies become suspects. Teachers hide dangerous truths. And deep beneath the Academy, something stirs... waiting for the Queen who was never supposed to rise. If Lyra cannot unlock her gifts-and uncover the treachery buried in her bloodline-then darkness will claim not just her, but the entire realm. The first book in a sweeping four-part dark fantasy series, The Academy of Shadows is perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, The Cruel Prince, and A Deadly Education. Enter a world of cursed thrones, forgotten cities, and one girl caught between destiny and rebellion.

Veiled in Light and Ruin by jemicahcolleen

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
