This is the story of one whose destiny was predetermined. This is the story of one who was the victim of circumstance. A victim of a past that was not his own. 

He learned early to keep his head down, his mouth shut, his eyes up, and his ears open. He learned when to bite his gold and when to not look a gift horse in the mouth. He learned to judge malice from goodness. But nothing could have prepared him for what fate deigned to gift him.

Another world; magic; plagues; blood and fire; royalty; and at every corner, lies.

Jesse will need more than just power. He will need more than just skills and abilities. He will need help... and contacts. But in this game, who is trustworthy? And who is not?

For one whose crime was to be born, to survive is to win.All Rights Reserved

A Drop Of Haunted Blood [PREVIEW] [WATTYS WINNTER 2023] by auroraanorth

[PREVIEW ONLY] WATTYS WINNER 2023 | Sixteen-year-old Felix Carver carries the ghosts of magicians in his blood. He can communicate with them and use the magical abilities they wielded against monsters when they were alive. His newfound power would be pretty cool, if the ghosts in question weren't his family and the man who killed them. Death doesn't stop Felix's siblings from finding new ways to annoy him from beyond the grave, nor his parents from doing their best to protect him from the dangerous side of his new life. Felix learns that his family belonged to an organization of magicians called the Bright Guardians, while their killer was a part of the Guardian Uprising that tried to overthrow the organization eight years earlier. The Bright Guardians take Felix in, hoping they can train him to fight monsters and control the ghosts living inside of him. Felix barely understands the magical world his family kept secret from him, but he does make friends with other odd cases at the Bright Academy. Troublemaker Arisa Tamura is struggling to control her ability to animate objects while under the influence of cursed bracelets, while the smart but reserved Mason Briggs is a witch who was transformed into a demon as a last resort to save his life. Together, the three of them realize that Uprising spies are still hiding among the Guardians. They have no idea who they can trust, but they do know who they can't: a Guardian named Ernest Abernathy, who stole a powerful wand from Mason's parents before killing them. Felix, Mason, and Arisa must construct a plan to steal back the wand without any help. If their plan fails, Ernest will turn the Guardians against them and have them locked up, or executed. If they succeed, they'll have one more weapon in the fight against the Uprising's army. Either way, the approaching war is inevitable. Be warned this book contains death, violence, and an above average amount of spiders.

Long ago, Magicfolk and humans coexisted in harmony. But human greed disrupted the balance. As humans took relentlessly, the magic began to wane. Feeling betrayed by their diminishing magic, humans turned violent, starting a devastating war. Millions of Magicfolk died. To escape this cruelty, they built Koreth-a sanctuary in the skies, far beyond human reach. Initially, few sought refuge there. But during the Great Purge, when humanity's assault became unbearable, entire families fled to Koreth, abandoning their homes-and, tragically, their children. Felix was just five years old when the Great Purge tore his world apart. His parents, like many others, fled to Koreth, leaving Felix and his siblings behind. They weren't alone; many other Magicfolk children were also left to fend for themselves. Among them were the children of Felix's parents' closest friends-his own childhood friends. Years later, when they were finally strong enough to endure the perilous journey, Felix and his friends united with one goal: find Koreth and reunite with their families. But the path to the lost city is fraught with danger. As evil forces conspire to thwart them, they discover that true strength lies not in power, but in unity and resilience. Book 1 in The Hidden Kingdom Heptalogy (Now published - Tales from Koreth: Short Stories from the Lightmaker universe)
