Magic. War. Fate. Love. Six strangers chosen by prophecy must become something more: a Balance to save their world.
***
The Thorne Sisters are  burning their way through the kingdom captuing magical beings, destroying villages and killing anyone who dares oppose them. In a last-ditch effort to stop them the High Council calls together The Balance, a group of strangers who possess unique powers meant to balance each other out so that they become unstoppable.  Despite this destined calling, their leader and guide Vitomir finds himself in charge of the most fractured, emotionally wounded band of heroes he could've been given.  The group must learn to put aside their differences, harness their powers, and confront fate itself. To stop the Thorne sisters, they will need more than magic. They'll need each other.

Vitality (Vitality Series #1) by Crysta_levere_author

A violent passion. A dangerous bond. A nightmare that will change everything. To Ava, love is about as real as fairytales. But it might be that fairytales, myths, and magic have some truth to them after all - as well as the monsters that lie in the shadows. Or she could just be completely out of her mind. After a mental breakdown and a move to a new town, everything changes when Ava clashes with a stranger with eyes as black as midnight and a terrifying sinister air. Her wishes to feel something again become granted. But Ava soon learns that not only is he as cold as he is beautiful, but he brings something out of her, stronger than ever, like fuel to fire - something she's desperate to bury. He haunts her dreams and waking life, and staying away becomes harder than she could have ever imagined, risking her life, her humanity, and the people that she cares about. Not to mention the fate of the world. She's fighting for life. He's fighting for death. What does it take to live? What does it take to love?

Luna by sweetarcher23

Luna's magic has a pulse of its own. A second heartbeat beneath her skin-restless, watchful, and growing stronger. Once a nameless orphan rescued from the ruins of the Witch Domain, Luna is raised as the heir to Moonhaven, a kingdom built on moonlight and fragile peace. Chosen to rule, she becomes both shield and symbol for a world still scarred by war. Her magic is powerful, immediate, and indispensable-but it is no longer entirely hers. As ley lines weaken and ancient forces stir, the darkness entwined with Luna's power begins to surface. It hums in her veins, bleeds into her spells, and tightens its grip with every life she saves. Each battle fought in defense of her people brings the shadow closer to the surface. When the darkness lives beneath your skin, how long can you command the light before it answers something else?

Throne of Shadows by Mavylux

In a kingdom ruled by shadows and schemes, she was the woman no one saw coming, the helper who became the hunter, the girl who turned dungeons into battlefields, and the queen who claimed her throne with fire instead of silk. Her love with the king was never a choice; it was fate, dangerous, forbidden, inevitable. But peace is fragile. Enemies lurk where allies smile, and jealous nobles plot to see her dead. With every dagger aimed at her back, she learns that ruling is not about mercy. It's about survival. And when her daughter sets out to find her own fated soulmate, history threatens to repeat itself, dragging the next generation into the wars of the past. A story of passion and power, betrayal and destiny, is a gothic fantasy romance where love is as dangerous as it is eternal.

The Void Between by miachaellandonsbitch

Cursed at birth and bound to shadows, Belladonna Thornweave walks the world as the feared Obsidian Witch. Her golden eyes enchant, her darkness consumes, and her every step blurs the line between savior and destroyer. Her opposite is Seraphine Dawncaller, a paladin of radiant light and sworn enemy of the abyss. Chosen by the gods, she is everything Belladonna was denied-beloved, blessed, and destined to banish the dark. When light and shadow collide, kingdoms tremble. But against horrors born from both, even rivals must stand side by side. In their fragile alliance lies hope... and the risk of a bond deeper than destiny itself. Because the greatest danger is not that they will destroy each other- but that they might understand one another. This is an original story written by Charli McDonald and if anyone reads it I would be so grateful

Nether by DistantDreamer

Years ago, the Trolls were banished into the Nether, a void of evil and darkness between the magical realms. With their greed and treachery locked away, peace has reigned throughout the worlds. But not for nineteen-year-old witch, Aramina. Being discovered to be a non-magic-a witch with waning powers- has cost her everything. A place among her people, her future as the next High Mistress of Magic, and the man she loves. Determined to live a life without magic, Aramina's plan is foiled when Roane, a man of many secrets and tattoos thwarts her kidnapping. He introduces her to a world where non-magics are being hunted and sent into the Nether. She will never be safe unless she finds out why the Trolls need non-magics and who is smuggling them into the Nether. To get her answer, Aramina will be forced to face an evil that's had a chance to grow, and to defeat it, she'll need a different kind of magic. The kind she'll only find within herself. That is if she can finally face her demons, and if Roane's secret doesn't get her killed first.
