In a fictional world of Russia and magic, a young woman is captured by an immortal god. 

Marya is the last koldunya, a powerful sorceress lineage that was decimated by the hatred in her land towards magic. With most of her family killed in the mage purges, she is raised by her uncle, Aloysius,  away from civilisation. Aloysius is cruel and bitter, and wishes one day for Marya to deal justice to those that took away their heritage. Over the years, Marya's only friend is beautiful Vasilisa, whom she created by transforming one of the swans at the lake by her home. 

One summer, a prince comes riding through the woods. Siegfried is the son of Marya's enemy king, the man who ordered her, and her family, killed. When the trio strike up an unlikely friendship, their worlds begin to crumble. When Siegfried tries to find out the truth about Marya and Vasilisa, he unleashes an immortal god named Koschei, who has been imprisoned for over ten years.  

Koschei wants revenge on the child that humiliated him by defeating him in battle. Except, the child is no longer a child: her name is Marya Morevna, and they have more in common than he ever expected.

The Spark That Ignites the Dawn is a fantasy tale using elements of Russian folklore and a retelling of Swan Lake.

Evanora Ravenscroft comes from a long line of a dying race, thought to have long been driven to extinction: the witch race. Fabled in the mage community to be a distant legend of vile, curse ridden demons, the last time a witch was encountered, the world was plunged into the dark ages. But Evanora knows the truth of her people, and she's running out of time. Born as normal, loving people, witches have a rich culture and traditions spanning generations. Bonding for life as teens and having children early in life, they live their lives to the fullest before they begin to forget their families and friends. Most witches become complete amnesiacs by the time they're 25. Along with this amnesia, witches begin to generate and pour magic from their bodies. And continue to do so until they die. The adult amnesiac stops needing sustenance and becomes a purposeless roaming force of nature, drifting where its whim takes it and unintentionally affecting everything in its path, whether positively or negatively. Now 21, Evanora, is running out of time. Each day, the image of her parents wandering into the forest to never be seen again grows fainter, and accidents keep happening around her. In all her race's history, no witch has ever avoided their fate. Her resources are limited, and she's desperate to find a way to stop the corruption. But the only source of knowledge that may help her is the world renowned academy for mages, the magic users that nearly drove her species to extinction... Can she save herself the fate of becoming an empty shell of chaos, or will she lose herself trying to do the impossible?

I'm sorry, I need this for my S.G.E desired reality- Basically this is a story with Hort x Female Ever. She's the daughter or Odette and Derek from the Swan Princess. She falls in love with Hort, very slay. If you like Hort, read it! I'm in the middle of reading the first book at the moment, so I might go back and edit this story as I read the book. I have seen the movie multiple times though, so there might be a little mix with information from the books and the movie. This si going to be very messy, but I'll try to structure it. Also, I removed Agatha and Sophie. I'm very sorry, I truly do love them, but I want to be the main charcater and Hort loves Sophie, so that wouldn't work. (I think I'm going to make another one with Hort x Female Never, because being a Never is insanely cooler than being an Ever, I'm sorry, but this comes from an Ever. It just looks much more fun.)
