UNDERGOING EDITING

At Hollowmere Institute, the past is carefully rewritten.

Elyra Valebourne always had memories that didn't seem to belong to her, memories that she cannot explain. She doesn't want to get into more trouble until she stumbles upon an ancient book that seemed to call her name.

Before she can begin unraveling the book's secrets, Cassian Ravenshade, a charming, infuriating warlock with a taste for trouble, catches her red-handed. Rather than turn her in, he offers a deal: he'll keep her secret if she lets him in on whatever she's uncovering. Reluctantly, Elyra agrees.

As they follow a trail of hidden texts buried across Hollowmere Institute and Astrivelle, they uncover love stories woven through time, each connected to a dangerous conspiracy that threatens all witches and warlocks. The deeper they dig, the more they realize these aren't just stories-they're warnings. And someone in the school will do anything to keep the past buried.

With danger closing in and magic they barely understand awakening inside them, Elyra and Cassian must decide whether to expose the truth and risk everything or become the next forgotten names in the margins of history.

...
26. Your school has a mysterious club that no one ever mentions, and its members are oddly secretive. Curious, you decided to join - but what you uncover changes everything you thought you knew about your school. 

132. We are company rivals. We hate each other. But why is that every time I see you I get these unexpected butterflies?

139. "Oops, I did it again," muttered the witch as sparks flew wildly around the Hidden Library, narrowly missing the charming warlock who smirks and replied, "Well, this is already more exciting than finding that rare book."All Rights Reserved

Witchbound 1 by ELKrraz

In a small, seemingly ordinary town, Selene has always felt like she's just another face in the crowd. Her life revolves around the typical high school experiences-hanging out with friends, navigating the ups and downs of teenage life, and managing the constant buzz of schoolwork and daily routines. To the outside world, it's a life like any other, filled with the usual moments of frustration and joy. Yet, beneath the surface of this mundane existence lies a hidden world, one that Selene never could have imagined. Magic, mystical creatures, and ancient forces have quietly coexisted with her reality, just out of sight. It's a world governed by secrets, where the extraordinary is concealed by the normal. When Selene's life unexpectedly takes a turn, she is drawn to Eldermyst Academy, an ancient, secluded institution that holds the key to her true potential. The academy is a place far removed from her small-town life, a place where the supernatural is a part of everyday existence. Here, Selene begins to uncover her own latent powers, powers that have been dormant for years. The stark contrast between her once predictable world and the strange, mystical realm she enters becomes the foundation for her transformation. As she explores secret locations, encounters creatures beyond imagination, and navigates the complexities of magical realms, Selene begins to realize that her journey isn't just about surviving the chaos of two worlds colliding-it's about mastering the forces within herself, understanding the legacy that runs through her veins, and coming to terms with the power she holds. Each challenge she faces, each discovery she makes, takes her further away from the life she knew, and closer to a destiny that was always waiting for her.

The Chronicles of Elysium: The Shadow's Embrace by Tyler6318

In the mystical land of Elysium, where magic weaves through every leaf and whispers secrets to the wind, a darkness begins to stir. For centuries, the balance between light and shadow has been maintained by the guardians of Elysium, a group of powerful sorcerers sworn to protect the realm from evil. But when a long-forgotten prophecy resurfaces, foretelling the rise of a malevolent force known only as the shadow, the fate of Elysium hangs in the balance. As whispers of dark omens spread like wildfire, a young orphan named Lyra finds herself thrust into a world of magic and danger. With nothing but a mysterious amulet and her wits to guide her, Lyra embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind the prophecy and stop the shadow from consuming the realm. Along the way, she allies herself with a ragtag group of misfits: a brooding warrior with a haunted past, a cunning thief with a heart of gold, and a wise old sage with secrets of his own. Together, they must navigate treacherous forests, ancient ruins, and deadly creatures as they race against time to thwart the shadow's sinister plans. But as the darkness closes in around them, Lyra discovers that the true power to save Elysium lies within herself - if only she can unlock it in time. Filled with breathtaking magic, epic battles, and unforgettable characters, "The Chronicles of Elysium: The Shadow's Embrace" is a spellbinding tale of courage, friendship, and the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of darkness.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

The Garden of EDEN by muko_baybee

Evangeline Dahlia Ehani Nailah Garden. Long name, I know. But that is not why you are here. You are here to hear about a legend. A legend about a powerful witch. Now, although this is indeed a legend, it is very much true. This is her story. *** "Before I begin this story, you must know that The Great Eden was an extremely powerful witch that everyone feared and loved at the same time." "Like you?" I laughed. "Yes, like me." "What else?" "I will tell you more but first you must tell me how you have come to hear about this story." "On my way back from Jillian's a man in a dark coat came to me and told me." "Taraji, what have I told you about associating with strange men?" "But mother-" "What did this man look like?" "I am not quite sure. He had his face covered the whole time. He said that if I wanted to know more about her that I had to talk to you." I looked at Thalia and she knew exactly what to do. I sighed and rubbed my eyes. When I looked back at my children, they had anticipation in their eyes and I could not help but smile. I continued my story. "Now, let us begin. Eden did not really know how powerful she really was. Until one day she was pushed past her limit." Navid scooted closer and a small smile curled up to my lips. "What do you mean?" "You will see once I get to the end." "Continue, please." ****

As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

No Good Witches | ONC √ by YoItsYeau

I'M GOING TO START EDITING THIS PROBABLY. If you go to Our Lady of the Black Veil Academy, chances are you know the names Cass Landry, Rebecca Lovelace, and Mallory Meksawan. Cass Landry being the mysterious new girl with a tendency to practice magic illegally, Rebecca being notorious for lighting up every room she walks into, and Mallory being the second in command it-girl of Black Veil, as famed as she is feared. After a magical attempt to escape detention goes terribly, horribly wrong and their ethics teacher winds up dead (ironic, they know), Cass must band together with Rebecca, the girl she "totally doesn't like", and Mallory, another girl she doesn't like (but like...for real this time) to find a spell that can bring their teacher back to life before her situation becomes permanent. A spell of this caliber, however, requires that they venture into the underground world of their picturesque town, striking a deal with a powerful gang leader that not only raises the stakes, but gives them an even tighter timeline. And though as a witch Cass has personal experience with life and death, the pressure that she's facing now might just be too tough to handle. Luckily, she's not alone. And with the three baddest witches of Black Veil, who knows what could happen. (So yeah I failed but I'm keeping ONC in the title okay let me have this)

Capturing Her Heart by vennysmushrooms

{REWRITING N PROGRESS!! - 13/25 have been rewritten. you've been warned} ---- ---- --- ---- --- Elysian Monroe held one conviction above all others: she simply couldn't believe in love. The agony and despair it often brought seemed entirely avoidable to her. She could never comprehend why people would gamble their well-being for something so fleeting, something labeled as "love." Determined to unravel this mystery, she pursued a career as a relationship therapist, hoping to gain insight into the nature of love. Yet, what she found only reinforced her beliefs; she amassed a collection of facts that painted love as a hollow endeavor. To Elysian, love was ultimately pointless. On the other hand, Akari yearned for a different kind of freedom. For a decade, her life had revolved around the man she now sought to sever ties with-the father of her child. Exhausted from the emotional toll of their relationship, she found that her sole focus should be on her daughter. At least, that's what she had convinced herself. But Akari couldn't quite decipher Elysian, and this enigma only drew her in further. As she interacted with Elysian, her curiosity began to deepen, compelling her to explore the layers of the woman sitting across from her-Elysian Monroe. Warning: This story contains strong language, explicit content, drug use and mentions sexual assault.

The Keepers: Earth, Iron, and Blood ~A Shadowhunters Fanfiction ~ by FiftyCaliber

Some say that you have a destiny, a destiny that no matter how hard you may try, you can't escape. What's written is written and there is no avoiding it. The Craftsmen have always been a powerful family, but Elizabeth never wanted the power. After hardship after hardship, she just wanted a normal, Mundane life and to forget about her past completely. After having her Runes removed at eighteen, she goes on and tries to live the life she's craved. A life free of danger, free of demons and free of anything that has to do with the Shadow World. But, as always, her past catches up with her in the form of an old friend with golden eyes and golden hair. After saving her life from an unexpected demon attack, he delivers a frightening message to her. A message that would change her future and the path she's taken. She was once a strong fighter, feared by some and respected by most. Now, she must regain the edge she once had in order to save humanity and people of her kind. With help from trusted allies, she rejoins the Nephilim's temporarily in order to stop Aspen Wolf, a powerful Warlock with the will of destroying all that stands between him and taking over Idris. Being the only one left of her kind, the only Craftsmen that could be found, she knows that no matter how badly she wanted a normal life, she'll never have one. She struggles back and forth between coming back as a Shadowhunter or continuing to try and live a normal life. It's would be an easy choice for it, if it wasn't for the man with the golden eyes. .... Cover art credit goes to myself.

Monsters Are Created By Other Monsters. Sou & Isabelle, A set of eccentric and unhinged twins with erratic elemental powers has to set aside their differences, control their evergrowing power and win a war in order to protect the only place they call home their academy and other gifted people from being hunted by the beast. - What you're about to read doesn't matter because a sinister force lurks beyond the great graveyard that protects the institution of, for and by the gifted! The first thing you need to understand about this story is it stems from a place of really deep mistrust and an unforgivable betrayal. That's an angry theme. But that all of that changes when we realise there's a lot more to this ever-expanding story! If there are Witches in this universe then obviously there are Witch hunters to just finish them off. There's a rich history or a back story where almost 20 years ago the hunters gathered and removed all existence of witches with elemental magic (Controlling Earth, Fire, Water, Air & Spirit ) but only two survived. That's when the book jumps in to follow the path of those survivors. Um, there are factions of offensive(Elementals) and defensive covens(Guardians) and then there's the elements of epic love, love that consumes the people involved and of course what's love without a little danger. - Thank you so much if you've read this far. I deeply urge you to binge read the book and decide for yourself whether it's unputdownable or not. Thank you so much by the way dear reader. By reading this book you are supporting a plus-sized lgbtqiaap+ community model/writer who has seen nothing but struggle and blatant discrimination everywhere.
