In a world where ancient magic lingers beneath the surface and steam-powered inventions shape the future, Selene, a cloaked assassin with a dark past, and Taren, a rogue inventor with a heart full of secrets, must confront forces beyond their control.

When Selene's hidden power draws the attention of a ruthless faction bent on awakening a forgotten darkness, she finds her only ally is Taren, a daring engineer whose brass and clockwork creations may hold the key to their survival-but trusting him could be as dangerous as the enemies they face.

As the line between light and shadow blurs, Selene and Taren are pulled into a web of intrigue, betrayal, and forbidden magic. With enemies closing in from every direction, they must uncover the truth behind an ancient prophecy that links them both-and make impossible choices before the darkness consumes them.All Rights Reserved

The Dragon's Call by _casuallycruel13

In Saileora, power hums beneath the soil, ancient and untamed. Seeker Wrain, princess and heir to a throne that feels more like a cage, has always sensed it, both around and inside her. But the whispers of that hidden force - the stirring of magic, the heartbeat of the land - have never explicitly belonged to her. Until now. When an impossible void tears through the quiet countryside, leaving her kingdom's fields in ruins and the skies heavy with shadows, Seeker is thrust into a world of secrets she never asked to inherit. The dragons - the ancient gods of her people - are no longer the benevolent protectors of legend. One of them, Ascklees, has risen from his grave, burning with a hatred that could ignite all of Saileora. The land calls for heroes, but Seeker has never been one. Not the fierce warrior like her childhood friend Calix Clearbow, who walks in the light with unwavering bravery, nor the brilliant Dr. Rockbrow who seems to bend the world to her will. No, Seeker is something else entirely. A quiet storm, an unread book filled with power she does not yet understand. But there are others like her. Other Omnicircies - rare wielders of all the Subcirces, whose power has the potential to shape the fate of kingdoms. And they are waiting, hidden among the peaks of Vidya, the shores of Blissia and Brashar, and the deserts of Sadya. Only together can they confront the gathering storm, but first, they must be found. In The Dragon's Call, nothing is as it seems. Every smile hides a secret, every whisper holds a danger. Power calls to those who dare to listen, but power demands a price - one that not everyone will survive. Are you ready to heed the call?

Experimental Magic ✔ by ajwoodward

Two types of magic divide the world the Tarby family lives in. There are those who practice magic built on tradition set in stone by the ancient spell book and those who dare to experiment and create their own. Those who step outside the confines of the ancient spell book are seen as dangerous troublemakers who have no place in the society created by the powerful elites. Witches who practice experimental magic are often shunned and ridiculed for their beliefs while traditionalists are praised for upholding the status quo. Like the world they live in, the Tarby family is also divided. In the face of adversity, the siblings were forced to choose a side. The youngest of four, fifteen year-old Meadow is torn between her strict, by the book sisters and her unorthodox, exhibitionist brother. While her two sisters Misty and Millie chose adherence to traditional standards, her brother Markos rejected the ancient teachings and dove deep into experimental magic. For years, the once inseparable family has been plagued by hatred and division stemming from the sides they've chosen. As the challenges they face become more difficult, the siblings must find a way to come together or be forever broken by a system designed to tear them apart.
