Can someone with dark magic really use it for the right reasons? Can she control the darkness or will it control her?
Striga was abandoned  by her parents for her uncontrollable dark magic. Taken in by Cornelius, a court Sorcerer, her magic is too dangerous. She is in need of a new guard and who better to serve her then a woman? 
Zofia is the daughter of a Knight and a royal guard herself. Her high levels of sass infuriate the high quality Sorceress. But when Zofia guards her too well, a person ends up dead and Striga's true power starts to get revealed. 
In an effort to learn more about Striga's magic and keeping her safe, the two go on a quest where they face a threat far worse than they can imagine.

Mysterious Protector by Remille9

A lady discovers why she keeps blacking out, and if there are others like her. 1/22/2020 I finished this work. But had to unpublish most of it because my mom saw it, and told me I need permission before I can use Princess Diana's name. How on earth do I do that? She is deceased. Also, I used Harry Potter and other characters as well. So, had to unpublish. But for the 5 people who read it completely, hope you enjoyed it. It was fun writing it. Jacqueline is based on a real person that I saw a totally badass alter ego, and I acted the alter ego out for that lady, and she loved it. Echo is an online friend who is going blind, and one time she told someone to watch it, and don't mess with a blind chick, with a white cane, and a gun. There birthed the story of Jacqueline's alter ego versus Echo's persona. 1/29/2020 I have decided to republish all chapters. I asked a few friends about my dilemma. A person in India and a person in UK said I can use Princess Diana in my book. If you are a person with authority in publishing, and know for sure if I can or not, please let me know. Until then, I will use Princess Diana. Every person mentioned is intentional. Princess Diana is such a loving person, and I miss her because she passed away in 1997, due to a car accident when she was chased by paparazzi. The beauty of writing is that I can bring her back to life, and hang with her in the form of a character, and celebrate just how wonderful a human being she is. While alive, she was so loved by everyone in public. Because as a Princess, she didn't see a commoner as beneath her. She loved them, all of them. I hope my story does her beautiful soul justice. And I also directed the readers to a specific video in YouTube where she touched nose tips with a girl. I really hope you see her beautiful soul for yourself.

Luna's Awakening by Iridescent-Glimmer

Well, just when I thought my life couldn't get any crazier, guess what? It got crazier. Last time we met, I was trying to save myself and this guy from this malicious spirit who wouldn't leave him alone and was trying to kill him. I thought that was bad and stress inducing. Unfortunately, I had no idea what else I was in for. Compared to what I'm about to face next, that was a walk in the park. Now, my powers are growing stronger and stronger, and I'm becoming a full fledged sorceress. I am seeing more spirits, the "dark entity" I'm constantly being warned about coming, and I'm trying to brace myself for whatever this entity is. I'm also learning more about the "supernatural world," where apparently, it's where all the ghouls exist and thrive in. And guess what else? I'm going to have to go to school with them. Fantastic. There's a part of me excited, though the larger part is scared to death. So, if you want to come with me on this crazy journey that is my life, get ready, because it's going to get even more weirder by the minute. ***Note: The story will intertwine some with my previous series, The Moonblood Clan series, so it would be best to read that first before reading this one, because some stuff may be confusing.

The Licensed Mage by SarahKlein367

Dive into a world full of magic and modernization. It's 2218 and magic has been a part of the world since the 5th century. With the rise of government and regulation, Magic Laws have been placed in effect to appease the people of the world. Every mage must have a license to use their magic outside of their homes but there are those who follow the dangerous path instead. Follow our resident mage (a magical person) Claire Dunsworth who becomes a NYC Mage Detective and her new partner the rugged Detective Raven Black as they investigate crimes of a magical nature. Claire is a mage with exceptional magical talent if not too exceptional for the higher ups within the Guild that monitors all mages of the world. She is an orphan and grew up in a Home for Magical Children on Mage Island, floating in the middle of the Pacific. Under constant watch and scrutiny from the Guild, Claire now finds herself working side by side with a Black, the very family that was breed to become mage assassins, killing thousands of her people. The fact that the Black is also a handsome man does not help Claire's case at all. Raven has nothing to do with his family and yet is hostile to Claire upon finding out she's a mage. He worked as a detective to make sure everyone had equal justice but when he got his new partner Claire his world is thrown upside down. Not only is she a mage whom he silently despises but she's also the most beautiful woman he's ever laid eyes on. As they work together and find a rocky truce between themselves they travel the city solving crimes with a magical association. Raven accepts Claire without cause while Claire lays her life down for the man who stole her heart. As they fall for one another a dark figure lerks in the shadows, plotting something sinister for our mage Claire. Could this dark figure perhaps have something to do with Claire's unclear past? Can Raven, a Black, somehow save this woman before she's taken from him forever?

The Sorcerer's Apprentice by tzaharasykes

A world where magic must be hidden from mankind is a world where mages have no reason to exist. Zara was one of them--a young woman forced to spend her days in confinement, to lessen the risks of outsiders discovering the truth. She was not human. She was, as they say, a living embodiment of a thousand year old curse upon the Kingdom and humanity as a whole. And the only way to handle a curse, is to get rid of it--which is precisely what the Kingdom has proceeded in doing for centuries--eliminating any being that contained even an ounce of enchanted blood. Zara's lived most of her life with the threat of death hanging over her head. Though this never averted her heightening curiosity about magic, nor the abilities innate within her. And when a powerful, enigmatic Sorcerer comes to her with a proposition, Zara finally sees her chance to embrace the curse she was born with. It was a chance laced with precarity and destruction, but a chance nonetheless...

I BECAME THE VILLAIN OF A NOVEL | BOOK I by mayo_de_quince

When I woke up this morning, I found myself in a strange room, unfamiliar bed, strangers I've never met, and a body that wasn't mine. The strangers wore a maid outfit, and these people were calling me by the name Nasrin Urduja. This name reminded me of the novel I read before coming into this place. In that novel, Nasrin Urduja was the name of the villain, and her only ending in the book was death. It's strange, and I don't know how it all happened, but right now, I am Nasrin Urduja, the villain of the novel I've read before waking up to this unfamiliar world. In order to survive, I plan to stay away from the main characters of the novel and live my new life as a hermit on a far away forest, but as soon as I turn around, I saw the friendly smiling face of the protagonist. I'm doomed! *** Content Warning: Violence, Torture, Death, Profanities, Abused, Cruelty, Discrimination, and Self-harm. Author's Note: This is my original story. Not a fanfiction. Not a chinese novel. Not a korean novel. Not a japanese novel. But an english novel with lots of filipino culture or other culture. Created Date: June 24, 2022. Serialization Status: On-going.

Double Sided by FakeSebastian

She killed the man who murdered her parents, but that just isn't good enough. No one with that much power can be trusted to use it wisely. Carter trained for years to hone her mind and body into a perfect weapon. A weapon that could kill people capable of smashing cars and catching lighting. The man who killed her parents was a Super, and more of them were appearing every day. They wielded god-like powers, but who could stop them when it goes to their heads? The People's Hand was the perfect group for Carter to join. Assassins dedicated to stopping Supers before more lives were lost. Now Carter has gotten a mission completely foreign to her skillset. How is she supposed to masquerade as a Super? How is she supposed to mingle with the same people she's devoted her life to destroying? What if she's been wrong?

A Whole Different Life (Book I) by TheBluester

"What would you rather? Floating in eternal darkness or...serving me? As my champion?" "Honestly? Neither, why in the world would I choose to be a servant in my next life?!" "Hm, then I suppose-" "Wait, I wasn't finished." She let out a sigh, trepidation heavy in my mind. She's spent her entire life in a world that was 50/50 for her...school was rough but she had companions. Her home life was great but it had its ups and downs. She was beautiful! But...she didn't feel that way. Perhaps another life could give her that? A sense of renewal, a chance to be someone better and greater than the person she originally was. "But! I'll take the latter, I could use a change. A chance to be a different me is always appreciated. After all, it's not like I'm going to be a world-renowned hero right?" ___________ What happens when you die? Do you go to a religious after-life? Do you simply float in black nothingness or do you wake up in the body of another person? Well...for 17-year old Eos Theodoric, a girl who died in a tragic car accident, she knows the answer. Waking up in the body of an animal in service to an Animal Guardian who lives in a different world known as Balerion! Get ready for this one, a fantasy life isn't what it seems! Warning(s): This book may contain descriptions of torture of a slightly graphic nature, sexual innuendos, mentions of rape in a chapter and possibly some graphic death scenes!
