curse fantasy fantsy magic politics romance

In a city divided by wealth and despair, the north struggles in the grip of poverty, gang control, and the sinister spread of Wyrmblight-a black magic epidemic that warps the mind, body, and soul. In the south, nobles and the elite live in comfort, their dazzling halls untouched by the chaos creeping closer with each day passed. 

Thalassa, known on the streets as Hemlock, a fierce survivor and loyal member of the north's underworld, she fights to protect her gang and navigate the treacherous alliances of a city on the brink of collapse. But when Wyrmblight claims someone close to her, Thalassa uncovers a chilling secret: the plague might not be a curse of chaos, but a weapon of control-and her estranged father, a powerful noble, may have something to do with it.

Caught between her loyalty to the north and the shadowy ties of her bloodline, Thalassa must decide how far she's willing to go to expose the truth. As the madness of Wyrmblight tightens its grip on the city, she'll risk her life, her gang's safety, and her sanity to uncover the conspiracy threatening to consume them all.All Rights Reserved

Paths Beyond (Under Rewrite) by DeoxyNAcid

In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.
