Avoid looking into those golden eyes. One look is enough and you will be lost forever.

Once upon a time, beyond the forests and mountains, where the leaves always wore the color of autumn, a girl with great talent grew up, with her mother and father. One day, however, their happiness was stolen by tragedy. Her mother fell ill and death called her to the other side. Nothing was the same anymore. Her father remarried. And in the end, time took him away too.
Iris was left alone with her stepmother and stepsister. They made her a maid, a slave. A prisoner of a life she hated. But something deep inside her prevented her from leaving the house she grew up in - her home. There, as a child, she created all the miracles with her mother and wanted to continue doing so, to give joy to those less fortunate. Like when she made a dress for the butcher's wife, whom her husband no longer loved, that made her irresistible to him again. Or when she made a shirt for her best friend Jace that was supposed to protect him from the edge of swords, since he liked to provoke the royal guards. Her little secret.
But one day, her peaceful life decides to take a completely different direction and everything goes wrong. She meets a prince. She helps her stepsister win him for herself. And ancient family secrets get involved when a demon she is magically bonded with appears. A long-hidden story begins to unfold before her, revealing the truth about her mother, her ancient ancestors, and herself.

And it all started with her simply taking off the necklace she should never have taken off.All Rights Reserved

The Fall of The Veil by _rainydaywriting_

"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*

Fairytales are real by terrysky13

What if I told you that every fairy tale you grew up with actually happened-but not the way Disney showed you? What if Cinderella didn't find her prince charming, but was selected by a dying king as a disposable bride for his murderous son? What if those glass slippers weren't a gift of magic, but instruments of control-beautiful prisons that bound her to a monster she was too terrified to defy? What if "happily ever after" was just a lie she told to survive, a performance she gave while bleeding inside those perfect glass shoes, married to a man she didn't love but was genuinely, desperately afraid of? Would you believe me? This collection tears away the sanitized veneer of classic fairy tales to reveal the brutal truths beneath. Here, Beauty doesn't tame the Beast-she learns what happens when you're trapped with a monster who owns you. Snow White discovers that sometimes the dwarfs aren't saviors, and true love's kiss solves nothing. These are the real fairy tales. The ones where young women don't escape their circumstances through magic, but are destroyed by systems of power too vast to fight. Where evil doesn't lose-it rewrites history and calls itself love. Where there are no fairy godmothers, no last-minute rescues, no happily ever afters. Just the horror of beautiful lies, and the women who died believing them. Seven tales. Seven tragedies. The truth behind the magic.

Entangled by magic by gabbyleemiller

"You have completely and utterly bewitched me, Lucia. Every time I look at you, I feel practically hypnotized." ☆✰⭐︎ Lucia Winters was raised in a pure-blood family with a storied history, expectations weigh heavily on her. Her father couldn't say no when she was invited to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a fifth year. She was deeply nervous about stepping into Hogwarts, not that she would ever admit it out loud. Lucia didn't grow up dreaming of the Great Hall, or getting sorted in front of hundreds of staring eyes. But with carefully composed nervousness there was excitement, she was burning with it. Lucia doesn't know yet what is to come, the power she can yield from her fingertips, a person who could guide her magic, or possibly use it. Sebastian Sallow was in his fifth year of Hogwarts. It started with exhaustion. The kind that settles into your bones - the kind that no amount of sleep or sugar quills can fix. Sebastian hid it with his grin, the sarcasm, the easy confidence. But by now, it was habit, not joy. Anne hadn't improved. Solomon barely spoke to him. So he did what he always did, he hid the bleeding parts. But underneath all of it was a hum, a low, constant desperation. He started digging into older magic, darker spells, things the books said he shouldn't touch. He touched them anyway. Sebastian was not going to sit back and watch his sister wither when he knew there were answers? No. There had to be answers, something, or someone, will show him. ☆✰⭐︎ A collision of two desperate souls, one already falling, the other just stepping into the dark. He needs her - not just because of her magic. She needs him - not just because he sees her clearly. Two people keeping secrets, both too clever for their own good, both drawn to eachother like gravity. Somewhere in their desperation, ambition, and obsession with saving Anne, it started to look like more than a friendship.

A Touch of Magic by Sarel303

"Usually innocents like you have time to grow into their magic before they have to break the rules. You don't have that time, Minta. Please believe me, you need to be ready. I'm risking everything to make you ready." I stopped and searched his eyes for further explanation, and there was a near moment of clarity before Edgar looked away, releasing me gently. "Risk what, Edgar?" A Touch of Magic... Minta has a choice; she can turn away from magic or embrace it. Desperate for a destiny, it's a no brainer. Guided by the cat who's been following her around, and her dead aunt's sidekick Gladys Jones, Minta begins by fixing problems with bullies, and finding Prince Charming for her b.f.f. Who'd of thought there were so many Cinderella's in need of makeovers? It's not long before Minta wants change her own romantic fortunes too (it's worked for everyone else). But life is never that simple and as Minta grapples with her future, there are others trying to stop her from having one. But who and why? Minta hasn't a clue. Though she does have her suspicions about the cat... Eventually, sacrificing her own (and very human) desires to follow her path, Minta's destiny becomes clear; this is a story of self-belief and resolution, first crushes & love (and the journey towards grasping the difference). Mostly though, this is a book about magic. Cover kindly made by @alessandra

They kissed urgently, Ivy removed her pants while he ripped her shirt from her body....

With danger at every turn, Eden must accept her own power all while battling an attraction to someone whose secrets are perhaps darker than her own. In a world left in ruins, humanity clings to divisioned survival under the rule of the Visitors. But these invader's reign is threatened when a new breed of super-humans emerges, possessing abilities beyond the Visitors themselves.

Along with enigmatic Kim Wendlas, comedic Draxorous Pennytheter, and charismatic yet cruel Oliver Casterson, they got drafted, they must fight and now they must ascend. Love guides, Love destroys and Love lies. It doesn't help when you're looking for the paragon of deceit. Love cripples and love blinds, but love is also overwhelming power and unspeakable joy. How can something so pure hurt people so terribly? Well, in simple, teenagers have access to this love. And when fire and ice clash, so does the love that freezes and burns within them. The 7-month timer has started, and so has the beginning of this thrilling dystopian and fantasy-romance novel that will have you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
