She's not angry. She's ancestral.
Azaria St. James is a law student, a witch, and very, very tired.
Of systems. Of smiles. Of syllabus readings that talk about justice without ever saying the names of the oppressed failed by the system that claims to be so just.
At Briarhall University, the walls are old, the legacy older, and almost everyone there believes in tradition. Azaria knows better. She's spent her whole life reading between the lines-and she's done pretending not to notice the blood beneath them.
The magic is real. The oppression is older.
And Azaria? She's past the point of asking permission.

The Cursed King
She doesn't need saving. She needs a reason not to burn the whole damn world down. Azaria is a hunter. A protector. A girl with blood on her hands and a bow that never misses. Her father died in a war against dragons - and ever since, she's made it her mission to kill anything with fangs, claws, or magic. Mystical creatures? Monsters. Love? A weakness. Trust? Not in this life. She's too busy keeping her broken family alive to care about softness. Too busy surviving to let herself feel anything at all. But when a hunt goes wrong and someone ends up dead, Azaria's whole world begins to unravel - secrets, blood, and something ancient stirring in the dark. She doesn't run from monsters. She shoots first and never asks questions. And if the gods want a war? She'll give them one.Complete
Mystic High ✓
Oriane Moore, the new addition to the Diana Mist College, recently discovered that she is a witch. Or more specifically, a so-called 'elemental'. It's changed her life completely. Aside from the usual hocus pocus, hexes, and talking pets, Oriane, like her fellow classmates, is supposed to have control over at least one of the affinities: Fire. Water. Air. Clay. Energy. It's bad enough being the new girl in town, but to make things worse, she hasn't discovered her affinity yet. Which makes her... pretty much human in a school full of the supernatural. While she tries to come to terms with her new identity, an imminent threat lurks in the corners of the serenely composed school. Life is tough at 'Mystic High'!

For The Love Of History
▪️PARANORMAL ROMANCE▪️ "If only you knew half the thoughts that run through my mind where you're concerned Octavia." I noted how the grey in his eyes almost consumed the shades of blue. It reminded me of the stormy weather in the wake of the yearly hurricane storms that ravaged through the Caribbean. "Everyone is staring," I whispered nervously. "Let them..." he replied. **** Octavia is a young, mixed-race woman with the ability to see the exact moment of a person's death. If that wasn't enough to deal with, she has to juggle maintaining good grades while also trying to figure out where she belongs since the concept of her racial identity has always been a sensitive topic for her. Feeling out of place in the Caribbean, she decides to pursue a Masters in History at a university in Scotland, her mother's homeland. The moment Octavia meets Professor Graham MacAllister, everything changes. For the first time in her life, she can't foresee a person's death and immediately becomes intrigued, curious as to what makes him so special. Graham MacAllister is the youngest professor at his university. Due to his age, he has taken on a more brooding persona so that his fellow colleagues and more so his students, take him seriously. In all his years of teaching, he has never crossed the line with any of his students. However, things quickly become complicated when both Octavia and Graham realise that they're developing feelings for each other. Will they engage in the forbidden, or will they be able to keep themselves in check? 🔅Rated PG16: Contains thematic issues, sexual content, language and possible triggers. ------------------------------------------------- Cover Photo: Edited by @KimberlyTanithMarie using an image from artist Sin Jong Hun © All rights reserved 2023 I DO NOT consent to my story being translated, copied or otherwise reproduced by anyone.

Welcome to Universidad de Sangre- where brilliance is measured in blood, and survival is the only degree worth earning. Auréline Veythoria Draemir never wanted to enter the university shrouded in mystery and crimson. Yet when a scholarship dragged her into its gates, she discovered the horrifying truth: here, murder is not a crime. It is law. Every duel is a lesson. Every death is a record. And every student is a pawn- watched by the one they all fear: Caelum Draxyn Vorentheil, the untouchable Student Council President. But Auréline is not like the others. Curious. Intelligent. Dangerous in silence. She can read people like books, and in a world where one wrong move equals death, that might be her greatest weapon... or her final curse.
