Eric Hainston was once a Somebody. A mover-and-shaker in the magical circles until he screwed it all up. Now he's a wretched beggar trying to die a little quicker each day until (like all good starts to a story!) a woman shows up. Follow him along as he climbs his way back to his former glory and perhaps you'll find out why he's not quite even the other sorcerers.
P.S
This story really is better than what the description sounds like, my literary talents lie in story telling and not writing summaries. Just give it a quick look and I promise you'll find something to like in here. If you don't, then all you have wasted was a few minutes on the prologue.

The Envoy of Darkness
"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next. But as if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread.

Steps of Temptation
Demons don't unravel your soul all at once, they tempt you through the process in carefully curated steps, each one more seductive, more dangerous, and more impossible to untangle than the last. When a perceptive stranger begins showing up at her favorite café, Nadia isn't easily charmed. But, Azrael watches too closely, and seems to understand her so well that Nadia questions whether her thoughts are even her own. Nadia is resistant, though. She doesn't follow the script. She pushes back in ways Azrael has never seen. And now, Azrael is starting to wonder: Is it his system that's failing... or is it him? This story is my entry in the 2025 Open Novella Contest! Follow @OpenNovellaContest to be notified about the next one! The prompt I chose: #2 To be in love with a demon was the last thing on your wishlist.Abgeschlossen
The Last Apothecary
Twenty seven years ago, Witches came out from hiding. Tired of being misunderstood, of being told as scary bedtime stories to kids, and being offended every Halloween by some green-faced girl knocking on their door, they opened their whereabouts to the public. It took a while to get there, but the laws are pretty fair by today's standards. We have our magik, they have their electricity, their technology, their science... I suck at science. Crow is a rebellious young Witch in a world full of social changes. Riots are always out in the streets, laws are changing left and right to make way for new magik, but honestly, Crow has bigger things to worry about. Every witch has one power, unique to them, and he should have figured it out already. He's not even sure if he wants to know anymore. Maybe at this point it would be better to just forget it all and become an archeologist like he's always dreamed. However, when he is found to be the last Apothecary, a long forgotten way of magik, he is flung full-force into the world of Witches, and from there, all the politics he's tried so long to avoid. Now he must pick a side, Human, or Witch, before their fight destroys everything and everyone he cares for.

A violent passion. A dangerous bond. A nightmare that will change everything. To Ava, love is about as real as fairytales. But it might be that fairytales, myths, and magic have some truth to them after all - as well as the monsters that lie in the shadows. Or she could just be completely out of her mind. After a mental breakdown and a move to a new town, everything changes when Ava clashes with a stranger with eyes as black as midnight and a terrifying sinister air. Her wishes to feel something again become granted. But Ava soon learns that not only is he as cold as he is beautiful, but he brings something out of her, stronger than ever, like fuel to fire - something she's desperate to bury. He haunts her dreams and waking life, and staying away becomes harder than she could have ever imagined, risking her life, her humanity, and the people that she cares about. Not to mention the fate of the world. She's fighting for life. He's fighting for death. What does it take to live? What does it take to love?Abgeschlossen

Hexenbox 🇬🇧 🇩🇪
-- English & German versions -- A heist gone wrong. A young ex-sniper lying in the dark of the subway, her leg trapped in the wreckage. A thing sniffing around, searching. Searching for the box. The box she has stolen... Get into the night! Into the museum with its artifacts! Into the subway where the world and the past come crashing down-and hope is just one clever thought away... Hi guys, we're back, this time again with something more experimental-a storyline that backtracks through its timeline. Kind of curious whether this works for you-at least, it was quite some fun to write! Especially when the story suddenly switches to Syria, and I have absolutely no idea how that happened... :-) There is a brilliant review by @TaintedBloodBooks, check it out here: https://taintedbloodbookscom.wordpress.com/2024/11/02/book-review-hexenbox/ And another review by bookishbeam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DB_vkM8TYHn/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Happy reading!Abgeschlossen
