BURN THE LEGACY. FEAR THE WITCH.
"They told me fire was a curse. But it's the only part of me that ever felt honest."
· · ─ ·☽𖤓☾· ─ · ·
I wasn't supposed to be born a fire witch. Not in a family of earth-bound healers who treat magic like a garden-quiet, contained, predictable. But my magic doesn't bloom. It explodes.
After I accidentally set a customer on fire (just a little), I got exiled to Hexley Hollows-a grief group for witches who've lost control. It's run by Thorne Hexley. Spirit witch. Rule-maker. Grief incarnate. She's haunted by a ghost who won't leave her alone, and she looks at me like I'm a wildfire she's trying not to touch.
But I burn for her.
The more we collide, the more the Hollows unravel. There's something ancient stirring beneath our feet, something that wants justice-or vengeance. And if we don't figure out how to harness this chaos between us, it might consume everything.
I didn't come here looking for love. I came here to survive. But loving her might be the most dangerous magic I've ever known.

What if the fire they feared... was the only thing that could save them? Red never asked to be chosen. Dragged into a world of ancient schools, elemental magic, and brutal expectations, she learns that power comes at a cost - and obedience is only ever demanded by those who fear your flame. But Red doesn't burn for them. As war erupts and secrets unravel - about her past, the voice in her head, and the dark figure who understands her too well - Red must decide what she's willing to destroy to claim the truth. Even if that means becoming the very thing they swore to stop. When loyalty fractures and the world begins to fracture with it, only one question remains: Is she the weapon... or the fire that ends everything?
Queen of Bargains: Monsters Under the Mountain
Selene was never meant to be part of this world. She had once been a medical student, living an ordinary life filled with textbooks, late-night study sessions, and the quiet certainty that magic was nothing more than fiction. Then, she woke up in a world ruled by monsters. For twenty-five years, she has survived on the outskirts of a human village, healing where she can, hiding where she must. She knows little of the High Fae, their courts, or their treacherous games. She knows only whispers-of a wicked queen named Amarantha, of a war that shattered kingdoms, of a High Lord with violet eyes and a smirk sharper than a blade. But when a raid on her village drags her Under the Mountain, Selene is thrust into a world of cruelty and deceit. Powerless and human, she should have been nothing more than another disposable servant. Instead, she catches the eye of Rhysand, Amarantha's right hand. To the world, he is a monster. A traitor. A willing pet in the queen's twisted court. But Selene has seen him at his most powerful. And now, she has seen him at his most broken. Forced into servitude, trapped in a palace where humans do not last long, Selene must navigate the deadly politics of a court built on suffering. But as she uncovers the truth hidden beneath Rhysand's carefully crafted mask, she begins to question everything she thought she knew-about this world, about him, and about the war that looms on the horizon. Because it was not fate brought her here. She was the obstacle to his fate. And fate is watching. all rights reserved to the original authorComplete
The Sorcerer's Pet
He burned for control. She was born of chaos. Together, they'll shatter the laws that broke them-and forge a love fierce enough to change everything. - In a kingdom where magic is law and the powerless are sold like cattle, survival is a coin few can afford. Every season, the poorest are swept from the streets and auctioned off as Familiars - living mana batteries to feed the ambitions of greedy sorcerers. Forgotten. Disposable. Erissa expected pain when she was claimed by Lord Kaelen Carmentis - the coldest sorcerer in the court, and heir to one of the oldest bloodlines in the realm. She didn't expect the bond to awaken something inside her. And she certainly didn't expect that, in the silence between them, she would feel safe. But Familiars aren't meant to be felt. And whatever is growing between them... is breaking every rule. Because she was never meant to survive the system. She was meant to rewrite it - and burn the old world down in the process.Complete
The Witchline
A generation of witches emerged in a world where two factions, the Druids and the Witches, held power over the Earth and its elements. Gifted with the ability to harness the powers of Light and Dark, they dedicated themselves to honoring the Goddess Mother and the natural world. They celebrated life, abundance, and the cycles of nature through festivals and rituals. The Goddess Mother blessed two witches with extraordinary power, one with Light and the other with Dark, and bestowed upon them a book containing all the spells necessary to honor her. With this book, they could even cheat death itself. However, they were forbidden from using their powers for evil. Meanwhile, the Druids delved into the dark side of nature, making pacts with gods of the afterlife who demanded blood sacrifices. The Elder Druid, consumed by envy, plotted to steal the witches' power. Spreading lies about their wickedness to mortals, the Druids convinced them that only witch burnings could lift the curse. The Elder Druid's greed knew no bounds, and he sought the Goddess's book, whispering more falsehoods about the witches. Fear gripped the land, and countless innocent men and women were burned at the stake until the witch hunts finally ceased in the late 17th century. The two High Strega, the last of their kind, devised a plan to protect their magic and revive the Witchline. The Goddess revealed a prophecy: when a daughter of Dark and a son of Light possessed the book, the Witchline would be restored. They separated, hiding their true power and passing the book from one High Strega to another across generations. Until now...Complete

Foxtale
A slow-burn, emotionally layered dark fantasy set in a bioluminescent mire, haunted by the choices of a fallen empire. A land so tangled by rumors, its very name spoken like fable: Kymera. Spiders crawl through the in-between, slipping through the cracks of reality. Grass hums your name before pulling you beneath the mud, muffled screams to never be heard. And somewhere between it all, the specter of a pale-beastman haunting the woods, wielding nature as blades. The land made mythical, horrific in its beauty. Cael runs from his past, pursued by hands that would see him caged and sold. Straight into Kymera, and into the domain of a reclusive fox mage who clearly didn't ask for this, nor the trouble that followed. There's no grand prophecy. No chosen one. Just a mage, his apprentice, and a world that would consume them both without blinking. • Animalfolk leads in a world of men • Found family beneath the ruins of an empire • Reluctant Mentor and Reluctanter Apprentice • High Magic meets Low Fantasy • Character First Worldbuilding with vibe-based Storytelling Oh and uh, cover is temporary. Better than AI art, it's deranged, its Foxtale. ====================================================== Book is officially finished! Details of what's to come next attached at the end of chapter 48.
