Evelynn Seward did not anticipate her entire life changing when she woke up this morning. She certainly didn't anticipate magic being real, and her entire life until this point being a lie. Now she's got magic that might kill her if she can't get it under control, and there's more mystery to this underground society she's found herself in than a history of silence and oppression.

The sisters and the forbidden chamber by WANGR0874D

Everyone thought she was dead. They were wrong. Now she's hunting two sisters who don't even know why. Staying alive? That's the biggest fight of all. | Here's a teaser: Then, she felt it again. But this time, the skin wasn't that cold. It was quite warm. She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, trying to prepare herself for what she might see, and looked down. That didn't help her at all though, she still gasped, her gasp echoing eerily in the quiet night air; her heart still raced as though in a marathon; her breathing still hitched; a shiver still ran sharply down her spine. There was Vivienne, lying in the grass, a bullet through her heart, limbs mangled, blood everywhere, eyes lifeless. Lydia-against all her instincts-kneeled down beside Vivienne's body, squeezing her wrist tightly. There was no pulse. | I would really appreciate it if u vote and comment! I don't mind criticism!

Fly or Fall by Blackbird_273

A hundred years ago the world Omora was filled with magic. It flowed through the rivers, blew with the wind; magic sparked with every flame ignited. Life existed with and because of magic. The people, witches and humans alike depended on magic. But now, magic is dying. Andy and Anna Echowood had pretty ordinary lives. Highschool, part time jobs, parties, friends, video games and homework. Nothing out of the norm, they were just teenagers. Then their aunt was kidnapped. Now they have new things to deal with. Magical amulets, handsome princes, fancy balls, fantastical worlds and new found powers. It all seems great! Well, except for the betrayal, the lies, the secrets, the people hunting them down and the fact that their aunt is still missing. Together they have to become stronger if they're to stand up against the forces rising up against them. Not everyone is who they appear to be in this contemporary fantasy novel. Will the twins find their aunt? Will they ever return home?

Heart of Magic by ElisDndl

Prince Cahal of Aethermoor has always been different. His heart magic allows him to heal emotional wounds and read the feelings of others, but it also makes him vulnerable to every shadow of fear and despair. When ancient creatures begin breaking through the failing barriers that protect his world, Al finds himself facing a terrifying truth: to survive, his kingdom must ally with their oldest enemies. The alliance comes in the form of Prince Dames of Valdris - a warrior whose body magic can crush stone and bend steel, but who views Al's emotional abilities as weakness. Cold, arrogant, and devastatingly powerful, Dames has been sent as Al's bodyguard, a protection that feels more like an insult than aid. But when darkness invades Al's dreams and void creatures hunt him through nightmares made real, the two princes discover their magic works better together than apart. Body and heart, strength and compassion: they're stronger as partners than as enemies. The problem is that saving the world requires more than magical compatibility. It requires complete trust. As the barriers collapse and creatures of living shadow pour into their realm, Al and Dames must forge a bond deeper than alliance, stronger than magic and more powerful than the ancient hatred between their kingdoms. Because the only weapon capable of destroying creatures of pure malevolence is something the princes are just learning to wield: Love. But love demands sacrifice, and some prices may be too high to pay - even for salvation.

An Insurmountable Dawn by FaithClarke14

They say every ending is a beginning in disguise. For Dawn Pierce, that disguise looks a lot like disaster. When the life she planned falls apart, she's forced into a new one she never asked for - one that will test everything she believes about love, identity, and belonging. Because sometimes the life meant for us doesn't start with a choice. It starts with a collapse. (quick title explanation) (Describing a "dawn" as "insurmountable" creates a powerful, paradoxical image. It suggests that a new beginning or a potential moment of hope/clarity is, for some reason, impossible to reach, get past, or deal with successfully. As a book title, the phrase is effective because it is evocative and creates intrigue. It immediately suggests themes of: Hopelessness or despair (a new day that cannot be reached) An unchangeable reality or fate A profound challenge in the face of what should be a natural occurrence.)
