Colorless


Rita Stradling - 2017
    Worship the Magicians. Forsake the Iconoclasts. To Annabelle Klein, the rules laid down by the Magicians are the mere ramblings of stuffy old men. As far as she’s concerned, the historic Iconoclasts, heretics who nearly destroyed the Magicians so long ago, are nothing but myth. She has much more important matters to worry about. Heiress to a manor mortgaged down to its candlesticks and betrothed to her loathsome cousin, sixteen-year-old Annabelle doubts the gods could forsake her more. Then Annabelle is informed of her parents’ sudden and simultaneous deaths, and all of the pigment drips out of her skin and hair, leaving her colourless. Within moments, Annabelle is invisible and forgotten by all who know her. Living like a wraith in her own home, Annabelle discovers that to regain her color she must solve the mystery behind her parents’ murders and her strange transformation. Meanwhile, hundreds of the Magicians’ monks, with their all-black eyes and conjoined minds, have usurped control of Annabelle’s family manor. An Iconoclast is rumored to be about—a person who they claim goes unseen, unheard, and lost to memory, yet is the greatest threat to all of Domengrad. For the first time in a hundred years, the monks plan to unleash the dire wolves of old. Their only target: Annabelle.

Magic Within


Ahava Trivedi - 2019
    I shouldn’t even exist. I’m a Crystal Witch, who’s supposed to possess a magic that brings light to the world. At least I thought I was until about two minutes ago when I found out that lo and behold, I’m also a vampire. Tough decisions needed to be made and they didn’t involve me. My magic had barely started to reveal itself, when the High Priestesses in my coven, swiftly decided to hand me over to the werewolf who came to escort me to Bloodline Academy, a notorious school for vampires and werewolves. I know things will never be the same again. Suddenly, I'm surrounded by vamps, most of whom are instant enemies. Even the ones that want to be friends have a slight hankering…for my blood. There’s also the rather annoying problem that I’m beginning to fall for the same arrogant, brooding, ridiculously handsome werewolf who basically kidnapped me and brought me to Bloodline Academy. And of course, he sees me as nothing more than an obligation. Or does he? As I avoid all that could so easily be my downfall, my bestie from my former coven swings in to help me strengthen my magic so I can protect myself from my classmates. However, our magic leads to a new vampire threat from within the academy, one that could lead to the ruin of all other supernatural beings and mortals. Beginning with Crystal Witches. Just as my own vampire bloodline starts to come alive, I’m forced to pick a fight with some seriously dark vamps, to save light magic. Whether I like it or not, I’m about to find out what it takes to survive in a world where both sides want me dead. Magic Within is the first book in Bloodline Academy, a brand-new, dark and exciting urban fantasy series with a strong heroine who battles darkness inside and out, some powerful but cliquey witches, savage (and gorgeous) vampires with big tickets on themselves, and a bad boy werewolf with a good heart.
