America, 2085 The United States has fractured into several warring factions, each with its own vision of how society should be rebuilt after a catastrophic collapse. The old world-one of political corruption, environmental decay, and economic inequality-has crumbled, leaving behind a harsh new reality where survival is no longer about simple resources but about power, control, and the will to endure. The "Mindforge Trials" are a brutal, government-sanctioned competition where the strongest minds and bodies are pitted against each other. It's a spectacle-broadcast across the remains of the country, drawing in masses of viewers who place bets and cheer for the participants. The Trials are held in massive, secretive arenas known as "Forge grounds," hidden deep within the wastelands of old America. The trials are a mix of physical combat, psychological challenges, and strategic puzzles designed to break down the participants. Winners are promised power, wealth, and influence, while losers are discarded, their minds and bodies shattered.

When it's rumored that the kingdom needs a new Lily Maid, ambassadors of perfume magic, Zipporah Monrose journeys to the capital for the coveted title, stirring up long-held prejudices and a scandal behind a Lily's death that could threaten her tenure as a Lily Maid. *** Eighteen-year-old Zipporah Monrose wants nothing else but to be a Lily Maid--beautiful ambassadors of enchanted perfumes known to beguile the senses. The weekly wages could sustain her family out of impoverishment. When it's rumored that the kingdom needs a new Lily, she departs from her small town for the title. A stay at a boarding house acquaints her with Perley Elliot, a faultless, budding Lily. Perley's selected to compete in the Lily Trials--an assessment of their grace, poise, and affinity with fragrance. Begging is Zipporah's last hope. Perley's pitying plea, and that The Crown prides itself on its progressiveness, plants Zipporah in the competition as a Lily Bud, against twenty-four ambitious girls. Scandalous gossip about the death of Claudie Beary, the Lily they're vying to replace, doesn't dishearten them. Zipporah's social status makes her susceptible to their disparagement. Her presence in the Trials has also garnered her Perley's cold shoulder. Except Zipporah owns one bestowed spritz of perfume from her oldest friend, a former Lily. The perfume makes itself into an indispensable fragrance, enough to win the Lily Trials. But no amount of perfume can mask her predecessor's loveliness. Zipporah fails to exceed Claudie in every way. As Claudie's assailant remains at large, Zipporah puts her life in peril when she uncovers incriminating letters between Claudie and her paramour. In a realm where Lily Maids are more coveted than perfume, the only thing worse than an undesirable Lily is a dead one. Copyright © 2026 T.A. Joseph All rights reserved

For centuries, the sun has never risen over the Night Court. Once, the Sun Goddess and the ruler of Night ruled in balance-until love turned into betrayal, and a curse shattered both kingdoms. The night was left to wither in darkness, and the sun began to fade with it. Every hundred years, the Sun Court sends one chosen to restore what was lost... or die trying. Lunaria was never meant to be chosen. A simple florist with the weakest of powers, she has spent her life growing flowers, far from the politics of the Solivelle Court. But when the king summons her for the Trials, the truth she was never meant to know comes to light-she is not a commoner, but a hidden princess, sent as punishment for her mother's past. Now forced into a deadly trial she was never prepared for, Lunaria must compete against the strongest of her kingdom. And across the divide, the Night Court sends their own. Vaeryn, the silent and feared prince of Umbryth, is said to be the last remnant of a dying power. Cold, dangerous, and hiding secrets of his own, he is everything Lunaria has been taught to fear. But as the trials begin, something is wrong. The power they seek is not lost. It is buried. And only those who carry both light and darkness will survive long enough to awaken it. In a world where love once destroyed the sun, history may be ready to repeat itself.

Andrea Noctiswell was never meant to arrive at Hogwarts quietly. Pulled from the shadows of an ordinary life and thrown into the heart of a world she barely understands, Andrea enters Hogwarts as a fifth-year with a magic no one can explain: ancient, dangerous, and tied to a bloodline long buried by secrets. Beneath the castle's enchanted halls, forgotten trials begin to awaken, whispers of rebellion grow louder, and forces older than Hogwarts itself start reaching for the power hidden in her veins. But magic is not the only thing waiting for her. There is Sebastian Sallow-brilliant, reckless, impossible to ignore-whose loyalty burns as fiercely as his ambition. What begins as curiosity soon becomes something far more dangerous: a bond forged through secrets, duels, forbidden rooms, and the kind of love that could either save them both... or destroy what little remains of them. As darkness rises and the truth of the Noctiswell legacy comes to light, Andrea must decide what kind of power she is willing to claim and what price she is willing to pay for the people she loves. Because some magic is inherited. Some magic is chosen. And some magic was written in the stars long before she ever set foot in Hogwarts.

The year is 1993 a year after the boy who lived was brought back into the world of magic and wizardry. However, after the events of the sorcerer's stone occurred, it seems to have strung a web that reined further from London, rather landing into the land of America in a small city. Three teenagers, a photographer, a fighter, and an artist, but as much of an unlikely trio they become from their backgrounds and lives, it only takes a more jurassic turn when they begin to show effects of wild magic. Wizards from all around were wary of what wild magic was and never ventured to the western side of the world, only stationing one wizard per state, covering minimal ground. Therefore they came to a conclusion, what if they were able to harness this wild magic and train people who are one with it? They could be wild magic tame able. But that's easier said than done. Especially when this trio has more secrets than answers for their unusual skills. Even so any and every school that could have in them to send letters to these teens would be the school most known for being able to properly handle wild magic in their own way and at the palm of their hand. Hogwarts was no exception to this prediction. Will they be able to handle the wizarding world or will the wizarding world be able to handle the unknown to their schools?
