The Stolen Amulet by MiraclexDrop

Sarah is the third-born child of the Day family and the sole successor of her family's shop. On her 19th birthday, she was surprised when her second older brother, Dorian, presented her with a strange yellow amulet as a present. Though she didn't have much knowledge of how he was able to acquire such a valuable item, Sarah was still thankful for the little gift. Little did she know that only a few days later, Dorian, along with a few other magicians, would mysteriously vanish without a trace and the seemingly innocent gift she received would be the only clue to where they all could've gone. This left Sarah in desperate need to find her brother. With no one else to turn to, she set out alone to search for them. During her desperate search, she encounters a mysterious man with an unknown past who accompanies Sarah on her journey. At first, many arguments ensued between the two, but slowly, they learned to trust one another, realizing that their best chance at finding Dorian lay in their combined effort. What Sarah didn't know about that man was that he had a secret that he made sure she would never find out. Who could be responsible for all the disappearances? Will Sarah and her new friend be able to find the missing people? Or will the secrets of the past consume them? Only time will tell. (Inspired by many books such as Howl's Moving Castle, Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, etc.) -needs a lot of editing- Credits to my friend @serreines for the book cover!!

Masquerade by emmaklively

The kingdom of Verlockend has a secret. Within its emerald green hills and spanning lakes lies a deadly curse. Behind its citizens' extravagant masks exists a condition beyond compare: hideous boils that cover every face. For as long as Fawn has known, this is the way life has been under the rule of King Malin; everyone within its walls is mandated to wear a mask at all times, so as not to reveal the cause of Verlockend's mysterious solitude to its enemies. The curse that covered the miles of fruitful land long ago is not only hard to look at, but deadly as citizens continue to age. The elderly members of the community are starting to disappear more and more often, sent far away from civilization due to the violent characteristics of the curse. Their heartbroken families never see them again. Despite the horrors of this, Fawn lives a comfortable life as a baker's daughter. Having lived this sad tale all her life, she has grown used to spending her days hidden behind cloth. But even within the mundane kitchen life, a secret as big as her kingdom's always looms in the back of her mind: she is not cursed. She was born an anomaly, the one Verlockan citizen without those grotesque features the curse brings; her skin is smooth and white as milk, keeping her immune from the curse's claws. When the home she thought she knew is suddenly turned upside down, Fawn realizes that she cannot live surrounded by secrets any longer. Her chance comes upon meeting a cunning stranger named Jacinth, whose bold spirit leads them both into an unexplored land to discover the truth behind all the lies. Along with wise Kendry, confident Wrendolyn, and some companions along the way, Fawn finds herself as she discovers the story behind her kingdom's fate - and if there is a way to break the curse once and for all.
