"If ever something was lost...Zuri Ayim was the one who could recover it." _____________________________________________________________ Twelve years ago, a meteorite fell among the seven city-states of Kiro, and birthed a new legend. They are called Celestials: normal people given supernatural abilities from the meteorite's impact. Eighteen-year-old Zuri Ayim received the ability to look into people's minds when the meteorite struck, and since then has used her power to make a business for herself, in the hopes of paying off her father's debt before it's too late. But Zuri's life changes quickly when the Queen herself asks Zuri to find something for her: a talented weaver who is said to stitch the future into his tapestries. With the help of four other Celestials, Zuri sets out on a lengthy journey to locate him. Except, complications soon arise when they discover that this man's power isn't so simple. That, and they're not the only ones looking for him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Updates every Saturday. As always, vote and comment if you enjoy!Complete
The hidden heir:Beyond the crown
In the high-tech, magic-touched kingdom of **Aurelia**, every royal is born into the spotlight - except one. **Princess Elara Vale**, the youngest child of the royal family, was hidden from the world after a prophecy declared she would "awaken what was lost." To keep her safe, her parents erased her existence from public records. She grew up surrounded by love from her siblings but always behind walls, longing to see the world for herself. When her secret is accidentally leaked, Elara runs away - not in rebellion, but in search of freedom, identity, and purpose. In the neon city of **Ravenport**, she meets **Kael Arden**, a quiet mechanic with no memory of his childhood and a strange amulet that glows in her presence. As they form a bond, they're joined by a group of unexpected friends - a hacker, a healer, and a street magician - each searching for their own truth. Together, they discover that Kael is the lost prince of the long-vanished Shadow Realm, kidnapped at birth, and that the prophecy ties both of them to the future of their worlds. Through their journey, Elara learns what it means to live beyond a title. Kael learns what it means to belong. And their friends - ordinary people with extraordinary hearts - become the family they choose. It's a story about **finding friendship, courage, and self-worth** in a world that often defines you by what you were born to be - not who you choose to become.
The Dance of Shadows
Uelhara's tale begins in the heart of the Whispering Woods, an ancient and enigmatic forest where the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. Born to a lineage of elven guardians who protected the woods from the encroaching darkness, she was the youngest of three siblings. Her mother, an accomplished druid, taught her the sacred ways of the forest, while her father, a renowned wizard, introduced her to the arcane. As she grew, Uelhara's innate magical abilities surpassed those of her family, and she found herself drawn to the darker, more volatile aspects of her craft. Against her parents' wishes, she delved into the study of shadow magic, finding solace in its seductive embrace. Her thirst for knowledge led her to discover a hidden tome within the ruins of an ancient elven city, buried deep within the forest's heart. This grimoire, bound in the skin of a long-forgotten creature, contained spells and incantations that had been lost to time. Consumed by the power within its pages, Uelhara became a sorceress of unparalleled might. Her newfound power, however, came at a cost: she was exiled from her home and family for consorting with the very forces they had dedicated their lives to combat. For centuries, Uelhara roamed the lands, seeking to understand and master the shadowy arts she had embraced. She encountered beings of myth and legend, forged alliances with the unsavory, and battled the forces that sought to destroy her. Through her travels, she grew to appreciate the delicate balance of light and dark, and her heart softened to the plight of those who suffered at the hands of the unchecked powerful. She now wields her sorcery not just for power, but to protect the innocent and bring equilibrium to the world she once thought she could control.Complete

The Wolf Witch
Sora has no place in the world. She is meant to be a strong warrior, with the ability to shift into a wolf. She is none of those things, and looked down upon because of it. It brings shame to her, it brings shame to her family, and worst of all, it brings shame upon her prideful and strong brother. There is but one person who truly knows and loves her, but does he really? Magic is not the weapon of a warrior, magic is the weapon of a coward. Sora has been told that all her life, but she has magic within her, recently awakened, and so she has begun to doubt it. Still, witchcraft is punishable by death, and so Sora must be careful with her practices, lest she lose all she has. Sora is a better witch than wolf, though not by much, but she still pursues that craft in spite of the dangers. Her place in the world is a dangerous one, but will it last? The world she lives in is a dangerous one, and such a life as hers rarely ends happily. Disclaimer: this is a short prequel, Sora's story does not conclude with this one. If you finish this book and go "oh, that's the end?" it's because it's not the end. I'm writing a trilogy called Mortance that explores the larger world that this takes place in and concludes Sora's story more thoroughly than in this book. Go read that next if you like my writing, thanks. Please leave any and all criticisms you might have, anything you like and anything you dislike, I want to make this as good as I can. P.S. the cover is literally just a drawing I made in physics class, I know it's bad, I'm not an artist.Complete
