In a world divided, two kinds of students walk the halls of the great Academy.
The Luminaries-blessed with powers, marked by magic.
And the Unmarked-ordinary, powerless, bound by rules they did not make.
The Unmarked are forbidden to leave, prisoners until the hidden goal is fulfilled. None question it. None dare rebel.
Until Xanthine arrives. She is reckless, loud, and far too curious for her own good. She is reckless where others are quiet, foolish where others are careful. Trouble finds her easily-and so do the whispers. Secrets buried beneath the Academy begin to rise, pulling her toward truths long erased from history.
They say the past is dead.
But the Whispers of Aethelred are stirring again.
And once awakened, they cannot be silenced.
Will she dare to rebel to unfold the truth behind the all whispers of Aethelred?

The Tides of Aeternum
In a school where magic is divided by discipline, one girl dares to cross the lines fate drew for her. Born of sea and land, Maris Thalor has never truly belonged to either. Pressured to follow in her healer mother's footsteps and enroll in the esteemed College of Vitalis and Warding Magic, Maris makes a different choice - one that stuns her family and reshapes her destiny. She joins the College of Warshaping and Aerial Command, where dragon riders and battlecasters forge weapons from fire and will. But as she learns to master her waterbound powers in the skies above the ancient spires of Academia Arcanum Aeternum, Maris begins to sense a darker current beneath the school's hallowed traditions. Students are disappearing. Forbidden spells echo through the halls. And the school's revered director hides a secret that could unravel the fabric of magic itself. Together with a diverse group of students - a necromancer bound to shadows, a potion prodigy with soft-spoken genius, an adventurous elemental, a law-bound scholar of divine magic, a brilliant illusionist, and a gentle healer named Kaori - Maris must uncover a sinister plot that threatens to sacrifice the students to demonic forces in the name of power. To save the academy, Maris must embrace every part of who she is - not what others want her to be. Because in this world, choice is the greatest magic of all.Complete
Villainous

Red Moon Princess
In a world where every royalty child is born with magical powers, depending on its kingdom, unexpected thing occur as a powerless princess is born in the ruling dynasty. The Sirius Bloodline of the moonlands or as one would like to call it 'Lunalurse'. Time passes and Maria soon turns seven and still doesn't awaken her gift.

So they strive to seek answers, some deep inside the lunar palace, and some across the realms making long-life friends throughout the way. Would the powerless princess awaken her gift? And if she does what would it mean for her, the realms and everyone else? And what if her long-awaited gift is something no one has seen coming, not even her? And what if this power of hers releases unknown and unwanted guests some the world would have been a better place without and what if she's all to blame? And what if whilst performing her duty of protecting the realms, she becomes aware of the feelings her best friend Ashton harbors for her, knowing her cousin has taken a liking to him for years? Rowan realizes he has fallen in love with her cousin, as well as Zephyr who has fallen for Maria. She finds herself in a turmoil of longing and raw emotions where she has to choose between love or performing her duty. Read it all as it takes place right before your eyes. It's never too late to hop onto the track of fantasies "I might be the princess of the moon, but I can also be the bringer of your doom." ----- All the characters, kingdoms, names, and places are my ideas. Any resemblance to real ones is purely coincidental. The story contains some violence and some explicit scenes of gore, but nothing too bloody or disgusting. Keep in mind, that this is the first book I've ever written, and English isn't my first language. Any mistakes or twists of words are unintentional. I'd do better than this in the future so 🐻 with me.Complete
Bite Me ✔
《 Highest Ranking: #5 in Vampire 》 "Is that Marcus? Marcus as in, from our High School Marcus!" Casey squeaked. I spun around, not quite believing her, but there he was. He strode through the school like he owned it and my god, he could've. He'd changed over the four years he'd been gone. It was like god himself had carved him from a statue. His cheekbones could cut a finger and a jaw that could slice a hand. He was taller, more muscular. He looked nothing like the boy that went away. He wore a blacket jacket and ripped jeans, his grey eyes studied the school as every female studied him. Suddenly, they slipped past every other person's eyes and landed on mine. No surprise etched his face, it was like he didn't recognise me. Until I saw the corner of his mouth lift up. ~~ Best friends, Diana and Marcus planned to do everything together. They would go to college and live in the same dorm room, they would always be best friends. But, Marcus went away. Without expecting him to return, Diana uses her heartbreak to change her life. She becomes popular in college.. Then one day, he shows up. But he's changed, he's darker, more silent and definitely a lot more hotter. He'd grown taller, his face sharper and he drew eyes from every woman on campus, even the guys. He spoke to no one and didn't even acknowledge her until she spoke to him. But something was very off. Very off, indeed. Cover Design: @newsies- Copyright @tavanalee No Rights Reserved 2018Complete

[COMPLETED] The Academy For Genetically Gifted Children Book One: Genesis
COMPLETED // Highest Ranking: #12 in Science Fiction As the author I feel the responsibility to warn you of what you will encounter if you choose to read The Academy For Genetically Altered Children series: -a boy whose life depends on a rock -a lurking monster -a lot of sassiness -strange powers -a future that might not be far off from our own -a room full of weapons -strange, vivid dreams -bullies -children infused with animals -students disappearing - SO MUCH MORE // Even among a genetically altered society Andromeda Lovelace, Kai Kinsman, Layla DeStone, and Orion Hornthaw are considered far from normal. The GOP (Government Owned Property) Children were created, their genes professionally selected before they even came into existence. Birthed by surrogate mothers for the government, these four children have to discover just how they came to be, why they exist, and what the New Nation expects from them. At the age of twelve, they each are selected for the Academy for Genetically Gifted Children; an institution for "special" children. There, they will face insane tasks, meet a diverse group of kids and adults, and uncover secrets about themselves, the academy, and the government--ones that might better be kept hidden. Meanwhile, something sinister is haunting the academy's grounds and the GOP Children are facing inner battles of their own: Andi is having drastically realistic nightmares, Kai's life depends on a rock, Layla is hearing screams and whispers, and Rion has secrets of his own. Join the four GOP Children on a journey that may make you question things about yourself, the future, and what is right and what is inhumane in a world that may not be so far off--and maybe, just maybe you'll even see a little bit of yourself in each character. // This is my first novel, so I'm fairly new to this haha.
