covens dark fantasy gothic horror magic magicalcreatures medieval romance sad spooky thriller witchcraft

 Setting:
Salem isn't the small colonial town from legend - it's now a sprawling castle-kingdom, built from black stone and ancient magic.
The city is divided into seven districts, each tied to a different element or god. Magic flows through the air like mist, and the witches of Salem are both feared and worshiped.

Tone:
Dark fantasy - gothic, haunting, powerful. Think A Court of Thorns and Roses meets The Witcher.
Name: Wendy Ashthorn

Age: 19
Power: Shadow manipulation - she can control and travel through darkness.
Belief: She doesn't fully trust the gods. She believes witches should master their own power instead of praying for it.
Flaw: Her magic grows stronger the more fear she feels - so she's powerful, but terrified of losing control.
Goal: To unite the fractured coven and uncover the truth about the gods' control over Salem.
Vibe: Quiet, intelligent, but dangerous when pushed.

In the cold halls of Salem Castle, each coven prepares for the Night of Offering, when witches must sacrifice something precious to the gods to renew their power.
Wendy refuses - and when she does, something ancient awakens in her shadows.
The gods mark her as a traitor, the covens turn against her, and she must gather those who still believe in free magic before the gods burn Salem to ash.Public Domain

Love Beyond Elements | En- by evelynadeen

In a world where magic comes at a price, friendship and love might be the only things worth fighting for... Aletha and Willow never expected their lives to change overnight-but when they're accepted into Aelorian Academy, an ancient school hidden deep within enchanted woods, they are thrust into a world of unpredictable powers, secret histories, and impossible choices. Mastering their newfound abilities is hard enough, but when forbidden feelings begin to spark and long-buried rivalries surface, the lines between friend and foe blur. As if that weren't enough, something darker is stirring beyond the academy walls. In the shadows of the Forbidden Dark Forest, demon-like creatures lurk-watching, waiting. And when they strike, Aletha and Willow must risk everything to protect the people they love, even if it means facing unimaginable horrors and making heartbreaking sacrifices. Magic. Love. Betrayal. Survival. In this new world, nothing is simple-and not everyone will make it out alive. Ps let me know if nothing makes sense ;)

Life's A Witch by BrittTheBookSlayer

This witch lives a charmed life. . . Hadley is the envy of every girl-and the desire of every guy. Her key to magically having it all? She's an actual witch. As a descendant of the first woman executed in the Salem witch trials, Hadley understands the consequences if her secret gets out. The only ones who know about her powers are members of her coven, who, like Hadley's family, have magic in their blood. But there's no spell that can undo a fatal attack on the coven. All the evidence points to an age-old rival coven as the culprit, and now it's up to Hadley to lead the fight against them. At the same time, she's caught up in her feelings for a mysterious guy named Asher, who has plenty of secrets of his own. With everything at stake, can Hadley trust her magic-and her heart?

The Opal Witch by heater0387

[Completed] Lux's senior year of high school had been carefully mapped out since her freshman year. Snag the lead in the school play, chalk up a few more volunteer hours, and ace her AP English class. Maybe even get her first kiss out of the way before she headed off to college. But her Memaw always told her to never count her chickens before the eggs hatched... a lesson she learned all too well when she levitated said eggs while attempting to cook an omelet. Now she's trading her chemistry tutor for a sexy potions master, and the only book she gets to read is her family's Grimoire. Of course, finding out you have access to magic isn't a terrible thing. Some days it's downright awesome... if only it didn't include being marked for death. Credit for the awesome cover goes to @darthowl

Southern Charms by heater0387

[COMPLETED] My grandmother is a witch. My mother is a witch. My sisters are witches. Even my daddy is a warlock when he's not moonlighting as a rat (a consequence of the aforementioned grandmother's temper). So you would think I would be a witch too, right? Nope. Not a spark of magic resides in my fingertips, and even worse, I'm beginning to think I'm allergic to magic. Kind of a big problem when you live in the middle of the most magical town in Mississippi. I'm just biding my time until I turn eighteen. Then, I can pack my bags and move out into the real world- with the normal humans. Until then, I just have to survive my grandmother's experiments, my sister's nasty temper, and the charms of the town's bad boy, Ash Goodwin. Easy...ier said than done.

In the background of contemporary New York City, there exists a world beyond this world. This is a world where magical creatures exist, where the true powers behind the thrones manipulate world governments to their own liking. This is a world as enchanting as it is terrifying, ruled by greed, vanity, vengeance, and the most basic human emotions. Welcome to The Shadow Kingdom. *********************************** Scarlett Whitmore is an unassuming, eighteen-year-old college student. Everything about her life is decidedly mundane except for one aspect - she has the supernatural ability to control ice and water. She has lived in secret with this ability her entire life, unaware of its origins or meaning. All that changes the day that she meets Adrian Shang. He is tall, dark, handsome, and like her - supernatural. He introduces her to an entire civilization of supernatural beings, living secretly yet in plain sight all around us. Forces from all across the Shadow Kingdom conspire to utilize Scarlett for their own selfish gains, and Scarlett is plunged into a world of conspiracy and political intrigue. Forces of love, hatred, honour, pettiness, virtue, and vice all collide, bringing the mysterious Shadow Kingdom to light.

Ordinary | ✓ by myreadingaddictions

"But I don't have magic. That's why my parents sent me here. I'm powerless. I'm ordinary." ~*~*~ Imagine growing up in a world full of magic, being able to cast spells left and right, making your deepest desires come true. It sounds amazing, doesn't it? Like a fantasy, a dream come true. I hate to break it to you but that's unrealistic, untrue. The real world just isn't like that, for most people that is. There's the lucky few who are a part of that community, that live joyously in the magical realm, surrounded by magic every waking moment. That sounds fantastic, doesn't it? A living fairytale you could say. For most, yes. Then there's Luna. Luna, despite being involved in the magical realm, never belonged. She didn't have powers so was treated as an outcast, rejected by everyone including her own family. They shunned her and soon banished her from not just their home but the whole magical realm. Now she lives in the human world, going about her everyday life like an average person. She's left her previous life behind and that's just how she likes it. Unfortunately for her, you can't escape your past forever. No matter how much she protests, magic will always be a part of her life, hiding in the shadows, undetected but still there. All she wants to do is complete her final year of school without so many 'unusual' complications. As you're most likely aware, life never goes according to plan. Magic has always been a problem in her life and now it's back to haunt her. All that needs to be said is that she's not pleased. Can't the world just accept that she's ordinary? No, it can't. ~*~*~ *contains mature language*
