Little Sember stole readers' hearts in "Siena." Join her now, ten years later, as she embarks on a quest of her own to save her people, and to finally accept her true self along the way. - - - Sixteen and struggling is not how Sember wants to describe herself.

While the village's gifted healer is away, a mysterious disease sweeps through Foresthome, and people start dying. When her parents get infected and the resident herbalist has no solutions, she takes it upon herself to track the clues and locate the source of this unnatural plague. Joined by her brother and a handsome Iceling, they must unravel the mystery and face an unexpected enemy in the shadows. If they fail, the plague will engulf the world she knows, plunging it into dark times. Maybe a little fire is exactly what they need. --- Big thanks to @vexnir for illustrating this awesome cover.

Crossfire - a sizzling slow burn with supernatural powers by ChapterToo

"I... I didn't see anything." I tried, not knowing where to look. I was curious enough to take glances at him. His dark hair was flopped into his face to obscure his chiseled jaw. He laughed out loud. "What exactly didn't you see, Harper?" He said my name as if tasting it. He sauntered over to me and stood a little too close. I pushed back against the kitchen counter. He guided my chin, so that we saw eye to eye. His eyes were the color of thunder showers. "That's what I thought. You saw everything." He seemed glum about it and let my chin go. He guided me to the kitchen table and sat me down. -- Harper Scott is as ordinary as high school seniors come. She has no idea of the world she lives in. Brandt Duncan is anything but ordinary. He yields the power of lightning and inhabits a world where a fight is to the death. Walking home from school, Harper witnesses a duel of sorts, where the weapon is a strike of blue lightning. The yielder of lightning is Brandt. He tries to erase Harper's memory with a zap of electricity, but it doesn't work. He pulls her from her ordinary life into a world of supernatural powers, power struggles and a sizzling connection that leaves them both breathless. Feedback is very welcome. Maturity: This story isn't erotically explicit. It does include fight scenes and displays of affection.

The Blue Crystal by artelunis

Jesse thinks Lily is some powerful hero destined to save the world with her, and Lily is simply not. Lily can't do anything. She barely passes through school. She has no friends. She's an outcast. She can't stand up for herself, let alone anyone else. She can't fight. She doesn't believe she has powers. It just isn't possible... she's only 14. The closest thing she's had to an adventure was the walk from her house to the bus stop. She is in no way prepared for what is to come, but for some reason, she's going to do it anyway. Maybe it's because she has something to prove, maybe it's because her life doesn't matter to her, or maybe it's just in her blood and she never knew. Regardless, it will be the adventure of a lifetime, and one that will change her forever.

Aqua Jewel by pixierabbit22

(Book 1 of The Globe of Tarahabi series) Once a year in Mencia, every thirteen-year-old has a chance to gain a talent. You could have the power to fly, or to become invisible. You might be telepathic, or telekinetic. There's such a wide variety. But there is a catch: if you are Untalented, you are exiled from Mencia. On the day of her Talent Gaining, Lexa is given an old family heirloom - a beautiful blue necklace - as a present from her proud mother. Only when disaster strikes does Lexa realize that the necklace contains more power than she could have ever imagined. . . and could very well have enough to save many lives. But is it already too late?

The Gift by ch1llal0ne

I ducked my head, thinking about the risk I was about to take. I was breathing quickly. I looked around, making sure people weren't around--and jumped and ran. I refused to use my powers, because I knew it would end in disaster... The bullets flew around me, so close to me I knew it was just a matter of time before it hit me. I zigzagged desperately, panting, with tears rolling down my eyes. I had to get to safety.**After her parents and younger twin sisters died in a car crash, she had no way to learn to control her gift. She never understood what it was. She never had an idea, since she was too young to remember what happened when she used them, so now, at the age of fifteen, she had a nice foster family, and a lonely life. When she made a mistake to trust Cole, she had to dig herself out, and then try to figure out her real friends, Eli, Blizzard, Cher, Cole, Roxxii, and Micah. On the run, she had to learn to control herself. The stakes were high in the life of Nichole Everett.

ASORA: From The Blood Of The Shadows by rinaXhazurina

FORMER TITLE: Élan: A Youngblood World "Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." In a world where magic holds the essence to life, there is still no telling where fate determines your place will be. When the Cardinal Empire of Nyrhaea and its time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, an immortal dark entity in the guise of a human, a grieving swordsman, an electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the prophecied, apocalyptic world war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood. With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour to fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world--where death is an impossible remedy to attain--the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to achieve freedom from the shackles of fate. An antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past? And what are they willing to risk to liberate a cruel world beyond saving that hangs in the state of trust and sanity? *~* Contains Mature Contents: gore, violence, and subtle depictions of abuse, substance use, and suicide.
