In a world where everyone can use magic, Kiel is a non-mage - until he makes a deal that would change his life forever. A deal that ultimately pulls him into a web of lies, ancient riddles, and fatal secrets, where one wrong step could bring his untimely demise.
Blurb
In a world where everyone can use magic, where treasure hunters, alchemists, and warlocks are common professions, and where mage duels are the most popular form of entertainment,
Kiel is a non-mage-a person who doesn't have the aptitude to use magic on regular basis - until he meets Elaru-a spell breaker of mysterious origin, wielder of the fabled 'Aethernea of Sight' - eyes that can see magic, who claims she can give him the power to become the greatest mage world of Halnea has ever seen.
Coerced into binding his soul to hers, Kiel finds himself pulled into a web of secrets, where one wrong step could end in his untimely demise.
Who, or what is Elaru Wayvin really? What is her relation to the ruling 15 noble mage families? What is the source of The Ink - a mysterious plague spreading through the continent? What is the Aetherneal bond between them and what has it turned them into? What is the truth behind gods and divine magic? Why has the third race of Halnea-the Ascended, mysteriously disappeared, and what is the connection between the remaining two races?
In the search for truth, Kiel and Elaru enroll at the most prestigious University of Magic. Yet, between awkward social events, falling in love, thrilling competitions, blood curling battles, irritating peers, and damnable love rivals, there is little time for studying.
And as if avoiding sinister plots from all sides wasn't difficult enough, their new detestable mentor takes them on a voyage into the uncharted forbidden zone filled with unspeakable secrets, ancient riddles, man-eating monsters, and deadly traps.
A quest that just might end up changing the fate of the entire world.

Eldryn Academy and the Games of Destiny
#1 in witches and wizards 🌊"When shadows rise and kingdoms tremble, it takes more than magic to stand unbroken-it takes the courage to become who you were always meant to be."🌊 This is the third book of the Eldryn Academy series. Mira's world is unraveling, and this time, survival isn't enough. As she enters her third year at Eldryn Academy, Mira is no longer the uncertain girl who stumbled through magic she didn't understand. She's become a force to be reckoned with-powerful, feared, and marked by destiny itself. But power has made her a target, and the academy's hallowed halls now feel more like a battleground than a sanctuary. Games of Destiny has begun, and ancient forces long thought extinct are awakening with a hunger that threatens to consume everything Mira has fought to protect. But these forces don't just seek her magic, they're targeting everything she holds dear. The friendships she's built, the love she's found, the new world she's finally learned to call home-all of it hangs by a thread as darkness spreads from the Elemental Forests and reaches into the heart of the academy itself. The bonds she forged are under siege. Void magic seeps into the cracks of trust, turning friends against each other and twisting love into weaponized doubt. The power within her is growing-wild, untamed, and terrifyingly potent. But the void forces know that breaking her spirit matters more than breaking her magic. As enemies close in to tear apart her world piece by piece, she must answer the question that has haunted her since the beginning: Can she protect both true forces of Elemental power and her heart, or will she be forced to sacrifice one to save the other? ❤️💫 Return to a world where magic demands everything, love defies fate, and one girl must defend not just her power, but every precious bond that makes her whole.💫❤️
A Forest of Secrets
⭐ FEATURED ⭐ 02/16/2018 Longlisted, Wattys 2018 ✅ COMPLETE Jocasta's nineteen years of peaceful existence in a little village of the Kingdom of Ontur blew up in pieces without much warning: Grandmother had a secret, an old pact with a mysterious man-a pact that, apparently, Jo and her new tagalongs - a flamboyant mage, a goofball knight pledge and a young alchemist-now had to take care of, thanks to the untimely death of the King of Ontur. A quest to find an ancient place, concealing an artifact of unmeasurable power and rumored to be deadly. And posthaste, before it falls into the wrong hands. That's something all grandmothers ask of their granddaughters sometime in their lifetime, right? And all that was at stake was the stability of the kingdom: no pressure. Set in a world where magic is vital, where mages are as equally feared and shunned as they're needed. A temporarily Kingless kingdom where vultures wait for the perfect time to take a plunge. A world where secrets and lies are as abundant, dangerous and necessary as magic. But something else brews in the Kingdom of Ontur: something bigger than Jocasta and her Grandmother's secrets. ⭐ 1st place in Fantasy, The Crystal Crown Awards 2017 || Highest ranking : #46 in Fantasy 03/04/2018 #writteninaction you can read a review here: https://www.wattpad.com/471550430-island-of-lost-toys-reviews-great-reads-for-theComplete

When Kacia discovers the forbidden magic running through her veins, she is given a choice - pretend her powers belong to her worst enemy, and use them to help him cement his claim to the throne - or forfeit her life.

After she braves a storm-tossed mountainside in search of reunion with a mother she hasn't seen for a decade, she discovers that she has the power to mimic the magic of others - an ability that sees her sentenced to death by the Lathrian Kingdom which controls her people.

Kacia becomes caught between the volatile brothers she didn't know existed and a prince who is more sympathetic than he seems. The choice she makes, between violent rebellion or slow moving negotiations, might alter the fates of her people - but only if she can decide before the bargain that prolonged her life runs out. Family and freedom may be the things Kacia wanted most, but to gain one she might have to sacrifice the other.Complete

Cryptic Asunder [Ver. 3 outdated]
This is considered the 3rd version of the story, I am editing the 4th version for publication. The official book is planned to come out somewhere around 2026-2027 but I still have to finish the manuscript. I posted this story on RoyalRoad and Fiction press, I haven't looked at either site in years. A life full of joy and tragedy, Vila's story begins with the very person she despises. Thankfully, a man by the name of Sommi rescues her from the clutches of her master. Years go by with her bubble of ignorance to what goes on anywhere else and she lives happily on the outskirts of Kai village. This all changes when she comes home from the market one day to find her little hut ransacked and her hero, Sommi, gone. A man named Vensen haunts her every thought as she travels the country of Aishy and the void itself in search of her father figure. Many strange and horrifying events take place as Vila also encounters revelations of who she is and the family she comes from. None of it makes sense, and yet there is a hidden string of order in it all. -------------------------------------------- Written by Robin Dobi, all rights reserved as of 2010 (c) (first draft) 3rd revision.
