Cary has never considered herself anything special. She's just another desert-dweller trying to survive the harsh conditions of Red Valley. But when she's struck by a lightning storm believed to be sent by a Goddess, she finds herself forced to leave her home and embark on a perilous journey to the Golden City--a place spoken about only in legend. On the path, she's captured by a fanatical religious group that demands she unlock a magical power only she can truly understand. 

Her only hope of freedom lies in an alliance with Ran, a wealthy boy who seems like Cary's opposite in every conceivable way. Together, they must navigate a world of shifting alliances, unknown magic, and the looming question of who they truly are in the chaos of survival. As Cary's journey unfolds, she discovers that finding what really matters may be the greatest challenge of all.All Rights Reserved

In a world where darkness and light entwine, Josephine's Journey begins. With each step, she enravels secrects, confronts her destiny, and confronts the true meaning of beauty, power and the darkness that lies within. Dive into the a tale of self-discovery, magic and the unlickiest of loves. ___________________ As I stood beside Rigel in the moonlit garden, I felt the air thicken with tension. His gaze burned into mine, and I sensed the struggle within him to maintain control. His eyes, like dark pools, drew me in, and I felt myself drowning in their depths. My breath caught as his gaze lingered on my face, and I knew he was fighting the urge to reach for me. My own desire rose to meet his, and for a moment, we simply stood there, our hearts pounding in unison. Then, with a visible effort, he tore his eyes away, his voice low and husky as he spoke. "We should go inside." The words were a thin veil over the raw passion that threatened to consume us both. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized how close we were to surrendering to our desires.

He Bleeds Flame ✔️ by cosmicastrovert

(bxb) After a year of surviving an all boys boarding school, William Brown thought he had finally navigated the ups and downs that the rich, private school had to offer. He'd even managed to make a few friends, as well as a rightful enemy. Lucien Harding. The two young boys were about as friendly as oil and water-that is, not very much. A dark haired boy deemed for destruction and a golden prince promised greatness weren't the likely pair. They knew as much, yet somehow, it had become inevitable. Their relationship would either go down in flames or a blaze of glory. Both boys bleed flame either way. Whichever path, they'll learn more than they bargained for.

But if this black-and-white world has really become Elijah's grim reality, then why is this young, mysterious man capable of adding color and a heartbeat to this dreadfully achromatic still life Eli is trapped in?

Safe within the walls of Lighthelm Academy of Magic, Cateline must harness her long-suppressed powers, unravel the Dragon's Prophecy that threatens to doom the world as they knew it, and discern friend from foe as those closest to her unravel the delicate web of lies she'd built to protect herself from the enemies her father had made. As her new identity start to fall apart, the only friends she'd ever truly known start to turn on her. With uncertain allies and dangerous enemies, her struggle evolves from mastering magic to sheer survival. Alliances shift, and kingdoms clash. Only a love that dares to defy destiny can turn the tide.
