You've been living a lie. Above you, an ancient society of mages has controlled your world for centuries. Now, their time has come.

At Solheim Academy, Hestia and her friends -students with a deadly secret on their own-are caught in a deadly race against time. 

To stop the mages from destroying humanity, they must unravel a web of lies and dark secrets hidden within the school's walls. But the more they learn, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Every lesson costs them something-trust is a luxury they can't afford, and power always demands a price. As the clock ticks down, alliances fracture, and the line between ally and enemy disappears.

Will they uncover the truth before it's too late, or will they fall victim to the mages' deadly game?

For fans of dark academia, forbidden magic, and impossible choices, this is a tale of loyalty, betrayal, and the high cost of power.All Rights Reserved

Dreams of Hardovia and The Green Throne (Part 1) by Har_Lou

Yet, the same reason also drew the imbalance of nature. A child will be born to tarnish the shining walls of light. But the way of life is unpredictable.

This is a tale to be told. A new journey to unravel. A history in the making. Join Philip as a new world invited him on a journey to debunk the mystery of his origin that defies the rules of the current world he existed.

Two siblings, bound and broken by fate , must rediscover the fragile threads of their shattered trust. Driven by a ravenous hunger for forbidden knowledge, kasik, an amateur thief, must infiltrate the revered Citadel , a bastion of power where magic is controlled by those in power. Meanwhile, Shivi must navigate a treacherous labyrinth of shifting alliances, backstabbing rivals, and the insidious whispers of ancient evils. Each sibling stood at a precipice. Surrender to the temptations of power, and risk becoming a puppet of the very forces they sought to understand. Or they could defy the odds, break the chains that bound their souls, and shatter the oppressive society that threatened to consume them all."

A Forest of Secrets by LRamirezN

⭐ FEATURED ⭐ 02/16/2018 Longlisted, Wattys 2018 ✅ COMPLETE Jocasta's nineteen years of peaceful existence in a little village of the Kingdom of Ontur blew up in pieces without much warning: Grandmother had a secret, an old pact with a mysterious man-a pact that, apparently, Jo and her new tagalongs - a flamboyant mage, a goofball knight pledge and a young alchemist-now had to take care of, thanks to the untimely death of the King of Ontur. A quest to find an ancient place, concealing an artifact of unmeasurable power and rumored to be deadly. And posthaste, before it falls into the wrong hands. That's something all grandmothers ask of their granddaughters sometime in their lifetime, right? And all that was at stake was the stability of the kingdom: no pressure. Set in a world where magic is vital, where mages are as equally feared and shunned as they're needed. A temporarily Kingless kingdom where vultures wait for the perfect time to take a plunge. A world where secrets and lies are as abundant, dangerous and necessary as magic. But something else brews in the Kingdom of Ontur: something bigger than Jocasta and her Grandmother's secrets. ⭐ 1st place in Fantasy, The Crystal Crown Awards 2017 || Highest ranking : #46 in Fantasy 03/04/2018 #writteninaction you can read a review here: https://www.wattpad.com/471550430-island-of-lost-toys-reviews-great-reads-for-the

A plan that may have been centuries in the making. As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it?

For better or for worse, it's all in the hands of the Guardians now...

Hallor Chronicles by YesterdaySuzy

Have you ever thought when you were little that you could have magical powers? Maybe you did but then you grew up and you forgot about it.

Aveus Umbras Academy or for short "AU Academy" is somewhere in upstate NY. Why somewhere? Because even if you search every corner of every aisle, you won't be able to find this school. The Gate will present itself only to those with "magical blood". Between those students is also one girl, Kaitlin, a freshman at Aveus Academy. This story follows Kaitlin and her life at the academy, unraveling the secrets of her past, talks about the hardships of her present, and her mystical future. This story consists of multiple books.
