Down in a Flame tells the tragic tale of Maria's end in fire, based on the horrible fates of more than 5,000 Jews in the Medieval Catholic inquisition in Spain.

I have done my research, and YES, Medieval secret jews DID keep their secret faith hidden from their children until they were old enough to understand the weight of their secret, and old enough to keep the secret to themselves.  As shocking as it may be, 5,000 jews were burned alive as part of the Medieval Spainish inquisition... not including the number of Jews who were burned in inquisitions in other parts of Europe.  Please feel free to ask me any questions about this topic. :)

The Order by HeatherAustin77
38 parts Ongoing Mature
For thousands of years The Order has been protecting creation from Evil, the paranormal, and sometimes themselves without the world knowing. Each member of the ancient society has been sworn to put humanity above all else, even if not by choice. The Fallen are some that don't have that choice. Many are serving penance after being cast out during the battle in Heaven or for other transgressions. Callen and Fin are two of The Fallen, who are serving their time, counting down the days until they are able to go home. Each save brings them closer to their rightful power and closer to getting out. But a higher power has other plans for the disgraced Angels. Plans that keep them Earth-bound for longer than any of them anticipated. Plans that include Harper McCarthy, who has no idea what truly exists in the world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All Harper McCarthy wants out of life is to raise her six year old son, Cameron the best she can. But when Callan and Fin blow into town, they throw her into the chaotic world of angels, demons, ghosts and creatures that only belong in nightmares. A world that in her mind, shouldn't exist. A world she should have always been a part of. With lies and betrayals coming to light, Harper comes to find that she is one of three keys in a prophecy that should have taken place almost a decade ago, one that was thrown off course by someone she trusted the most. While Harper tries to come to terms who...or what she is, Callen must decide whether to embrace his new role or hold onto his resentment for humanity, who he was sworn to protect. Not only does their world hang in the balance, but all realms may crash and burn. *Contains acts of violence, foul language, sexual situations, Humor, tense situations and a few twists and turns.* Read at your own risk. Constructive criticism is always appreciated. Please point out any grammar errors that I may have missed

This story will be removed from Wattpad soon. COMPLETE DUOLOGY - Philip is an impetuous young wizard who is born to save the world from destruction. The Klaus warlock that helps the inquisitors imprison wizards, wants to master the world of the living and that of the dead. Klaus becomes immortal and pursues Philip to steal his power through ages from medieval age to the 21st Century. Philip is helped by his mentor, wizard Juan, who helps him become the "Phantom Man." In the deepest darkness, in the most desperate moments, magic will set you free. When the last days of the world of magic seem to be approaching... Dark times put the wizards of Europe at great risk. In the name of God, the Inquisition uses the Church power to manipulate people's mind as well as to start a Witch Hunt that ends up burning to death innocent lives. However, the clerical true purpose is no other than to increase the Church's wealth by exterminating anyone seen as a potential threat. At the same time, a rebellion takes place among sorcerers from the most respectable clans as some of them choose to surrender themselves to the practices of evil magic in a quest for unlimited power. ...a child with supernatural powers is born to change the fate of many lives... and deaths. There is a prophecy... About a special child that will be able to unite the Kingdom of the Humans with the Kingdom of Magic... Someone with great powers, a Phantom Man with the ability to walk on the thin line that separates the living from the dead... And it falls on Juan, a wizard burdened by past traumas, the responsibility to fulfill the prophecy and guide that child in the path of goodness until the day that the supreme gift finally awakes. But he will have to fight against evil sorcerers, dreadful creatures, and face intrigue, treachery, and many deaths in a journey that is manipulated even by time itself. Are you ready to meet the Phantom Man?

I ran downstairs into the living room, my heart pounding as I found all my brothers gathered around Nefeli. Her eyes were frantic, scanning the room, desperately searching for me. The scream that bastard had let out earlier must have reached her... The moment our eyes met, she practically threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around me so tightly I could barely breathe. I stood frozen for a moment, unsure of what to do. I hugged her back anyway... Even though I had no idea what was going on. "Thank God you're safe" she murmured in my ear, her voice trembling, leaving me even more confused. I glanced at my brothers. They all looked just as lost as I was. Except for Aiden and Alex. They were motioning for me to hold on. "Of course I'm okay, Nefeli. What happened?" I asked, my heart tightening. I hated seeing her like this, so worried and panicked. "I-I heard Alex and Aiden talking in Italian!" she stammered, her eyes wide with panic. "They said something about the Mafia! Are we being threatened by the Mafia?" Her voice cracked, and tears threatened to spill from her brown eyes. The room fell silent for a moment. My brothers exchanged looks, and then, without warning, we all burst into laughter. Nefeli stared at us, completely confused. Cole, finally calming down, wiped his eyes and looked at her with a smile. "Love" he said, his voice smooth, "we're not being threatened by the Mafia." he let the words settle in the air for a second. "We are the Mafia." • • • _______________________________________________________ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ Mentions of abuse, violence, harsh language, bad mental health, and light depression!

A Crown of Ashes

13 parts Ongoing Mature

The witches of Moraveth are nothing but ghosts-hunted, slaughtered, and forgotten. The Kingdom of Ravaryn thrives on our suffering, bleeding us dry to fuel their power. I was sent to stop them. Disguised as a noblewoman, I slip into the royal court with a single purpose: get close to the king, dismantle his empire from within, and make them all pay in blood. I have spent years sharpening my hatred into a weapon, and I will not fail. But then there's him. General Tristan Vale. The King's Butcher. The man who led the charge against my people, who burned my homeland and stained his hands with the blood of my kind. He is ruthless. Unyielding. A legend built on the bones of witches. And now he is my greatest obstacle. He watches me too closely, shadows my every step, as if he knows I don't belong. He is meant to be my enemy-my executioner, if he ever discovers the truth. But the longer I stand in his fire, the more I begin to see the cracks beneath his armor. The war-haunted man beneath the legend. And the way his touch-his forbidden, maddening touch-sets something inside me aflame. I came here to destroy the kingdom. So why does its deadliest weapon make me want to burn?
