In the shadowed alleys of Greymantle, where thieves make their own rules and danger lurks around every corner, a boy known only as Crow survives by his wits-and by keeping secrets close. When an unexpected encounter changes everything, Crow is drawn into a world he never knew existed: one of ancient power, hidden marks, and bonds deeper than blood.
Pulled between the harsh life he's always known and a future written in magic, Crow must learn what it truly means to belong-and what it costs to be chosen.
In a city where loyalty is as fleeting as smoke, and power hides in plain sight, Crow's journey is only just beginning.

The Last Apothecary
Twenty seven years ago, Witches came out from hiding. Tired of being misunderstood, of being told as scary bedtime stories to kids, and being offended every Halloween by some green-faced girl knocking on their door, they opened their whereabouts to the public. It took a while to get there, but the laws are pretty fair by today's standards. We have our magik, they have their electricity, their technology, their science... I suck at science. Crow is a rebellious young Witch in a world full of social changes. Riots are always out in the streets, laws are changing left and right to make way for new magik, but honestly, Crow has bigger things to worry about. Every witch has one power, unique to them, and he should have figured it out already. He's not even sure if he wants to know anymore. Maybe at this point it would be better to just forget it all and become an archeologist like he's always dreamed. However, when he is found to be the last Apothecary, a long forgotten way of magik, he is flung full-force into the world of Witches, and from there, all the politics he's tried so long to avoid. Now he must pick a side, Human, or Witch, before their fight destroys everything and everyone he cares for.
The Living Shadow: Phantom Heart
He was just an ordinary boy living an ordinary life... until the shadow found him. ******** Not a darkness to fear, not a curse to bear, but a presence older than humanity itself, born from the deepest corners of the Earth. It has existed quietly, unseen, unnoticed, until now. The shadow entered him, and suddenly nothing was the same. It doesn't hurt him, but he cannot tell what it wants-or why it chose him. Its whispers, its movements, its presence are a mystery, and he must learn to live with something he cannot understand. As days pass, the boy begins to notice the world differently: hidden patterns, quiet truths, and glimpses of a reality no one else can see. With every heartbeat, the shadow remains, silent yet undeniable, a presence that changes everything without ever causing harm. In a story of mystery, wonder, and unseen bonds, he will discover that some companions are not meant to be understood, some hearts are never truly alone, and some shadows have always been part of the world-waiting.

Beneath its enchanted halls lies a history written in blood-and when students start dying, Rose and her friends must uncover the truth before they're next. Magic. Murder. Masks. In a school where loyalty is dangerous and love is forbidden, can Rose survive the year?Complete
House of Bellini
Every generation bears the sins of the last. When Anastasia is forced into a marriage she never chose, she becomes bound to Killian-a man feared for his silence as much as his violence.

Killian has waited years to dismantle the family that destroyed his own, and through Anastasia, he finally holds the thread that can unravel them all. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. The woman meant to be collateral begins to matter. And the deeper the bond between them grows, the more impossible his revenge becomes. Because some threads, once pulled too tight, cannot be cut without blood.

They know that he has a hide out in the aster tree, that he lives close-instead of getting rid of him and forcing him to move, they visit him. Talk to him, leave him things, they're kind. Different. Stranger than any other witch or familiar he's ever met. Stray is not used to things that don't hurt. The gentleness is terrifying. He'd rather stay away from them than learn why they don't have sharp tongues or bruised knuckles. However, on the night of a bad storm, he gets trapped inside of the shop, trapped with kind strangers. After getting caught, he discovers another dragon. He learns that life is not meant to be painful. He learns that he can be loved. He's allowed to want things with them. To eat, to not fear the cold, to live instead of survive.
