Before I can think about the consequences, I blurt out, "I'll be your Sacrifice." Everyone in the room stops what they're doing to watch. It's an honor to be Sacrificed, but that doesn't mean anyone wants to be. Oblivious to the gawking crowd, the prince waits a full minute before he answers. "That's not how it works." "Then make it work." To my chagrin, he flashes those white teeth in a smile. "I think I'll keep you alive. You have more to accomplish. I believe you'll make a great contestant." My heart plummets. He's going to make me fight. Fear surges from deep within, making me irrational and-for some reason I can't fathom-angry. "Go to hell," I snap. There are a few gasps throughout the room. He could make my death slow and painful for speaking to him that way. It only makes his smile stretch. "In case you hadn't noticed, we're already here, angel." Angel. He hurls the word like an insult. As if I fell a long way to get to where I am. Guess he's not too far off the mark. A week ago I was in the safety of my home with my father. Now I'm a runner, a traitor in the pits of hell. Godsworn begins with a choice: Azara Leighbright can go willingly to her death or run from the only home she's ever known to escape it. When the remains of Reina, the goddess of justice, are discovered, Azara and her fellow descendants are forced to compete in a series of fatal trials by combat for the chance to resurrect her. Thrown into the thick of the contest, Azara quickly learns she possesses Reina's magic, a powerful gift as lethal as it is unstable. As competitors drop like flies, Azara trains with Prince Kahn Avera, second son of the king hosting the tournament. Though they start as enemies after he enforces his father's orders to tear her family apart, they form a precarious alliance to stop the trials.

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.

A Celestial Heirs Saga In the wake of the Great Union, the four realms of Etherea-the Highspire, the Jade Root, the Shadelands, and the Iron Frontier-have finally found a fragile peace under the reign of the Noble Ogre, Kaelen, and his Fae Queen, Persephone. But while the surface world celebrates, a primal drumbeat echoes from the Southern Wilds, calling to those who carry the "Mercury-Blood" of the Vail dynasty. The Broken Silence follows Prince Tykzan, the twin brother of Queen Persephone and a legendary warrior of the Border-Guard. Feeling out of place in the gilded halls of a peaceful Spire, Tykzan is haunted by a rhythmic thrumming in his soul-a "Fated Pull" that leads him away from his family and into the emerald depths of the Southern Shifter Jungles. There, amidst bioluminescent flora and predatory ancient magics, Tykzan encounters Khazilli, a Black Panther/Elvin hybrid shifter of the Black Moon Clan. She is the "Silence" he was born to break-a fierce, mahogany-skinned huntress who views the world through the lens of survival and blood. Their meeting ignites a Fated Bond that threatens to upend the delicate political balance of the unified realms. To claim Khazilli as his mate, Tykzan must shed his regal upbringing and survive the Trial of the Leopard King, a brutal gauntlet of strength and spirit within the Ziggurat of Souls. As a new cosmic threat-the Aether-Void-begins to leak from the Shattered Moon, Tykzan and Khazilli realize their union is more than a romance; it is the final pillar needed to support the Bridge. If they fail to unite the "Mercury" of the Fae with the "Pulse" of the Jungle, the silence of the Void will return to consume Etherea once and for all.

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

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?

Every 1,000 years, the gods die. Or, at least, the twelve Olympians do. Cursed by the goddess Hecate as a form of revenge, the gods were fated to die every 1,000 years. Hecate and many other gods that were seen as less than or minor compared to the 12 Olympians were angered because they were less valued, and because they believed that all the Olympians did was make things bad for the humans, and for the world. But, even though they die, Hecate allowed them to be replaced by their children. Demigods. These demigods had to form groups of 12 and complete a set of trials set up by each Olympian. Many different groups attempted the trials, and the first group to complete all of them was announced as the new Olympians at the end of the 1,000 years. If you were to become an Olympian, you would receive all of your godly parent's powers. As a demigod, you have a small extent of their powers, but this, crowning, if you will, gives you more than you can ever dream of.

In 2065, freedom is no longer taken by force. It is offered as a prize. Every year, the Reclaimed Territories gather to watch the Mindforge Trials: a brutal, government-broadcast competition where selected Candidates enter the Foregrounds and fight for the chance to become Forged-honored, elevated, untouchable. At least, that is what Leader Vale wants the world to believe. Kaia Burke has spent her life learning that the most dangerous lies are the ones dressed as rescue. Raised in the shadows of forbidden history by a grandfather who knows too much and says too little, Kaia wants nothing to do with the Trials-until her grandfather is taken, and entering the Mindforge becomes the only way to save him. Inside the Foregrounds, survival is not only physical. The Trials know your fears. They know your memories. They know the people you love. And when Kaia crosses paths with Rowan Ash, a dangerous Candidate with too many secrets and eyes that see far more than they should, she begins to realize the Mindforge is not simply testing them. It is studying them. But Rowan is not who he claims to be. Gabe, the boy Kaia once trusted in the dark, is not who she believed he was. And Leader Vale's perfect empire is built on something far more horrifying than control. The deeper Kaia goes, the more the Trials strip away every truth she thought she understood-about her family, the rebellion, the boy who betrayed her, and the commander who may be her only way out. If she wants to survive, Kaia will have to decide who to trust in a world designed to turn trust into a weapon. Because in the Mindforge, escape may be just another part of the game.

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.
