Legacy International Academy - Book 1 (Books, Beats, and Beginnings)

Cameron Lilith Edwards aka Camie has always been the girl whispered about in the shadowed hallways of Legacy International Academy. To her classmates, she is the descendant of an ancient Aswang bloodline, a practitioner of forbidden magic, and the source of ominous curses that haunt the town. For Camie, these are nothing but cruel and vicious rumors-ones that have poisoned her family's name for generations. Determined to clear her family's reputation and prove the skeptics wrong, Camie forms the 'Misteryo at Hiwaga -a Horror Mystery Club,' a ragtag group of brave souls dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the school's seven hidden mysteries. But not all secrets are meant to be unraveled, and Camie's journey takes a chilling turn when she stumbles upon an ancient curse tying her destiny to the silver-haired stranger who once saved her life. Together, they must navigate a maze of supernatural peril, fight back against malevolent forces, and untangle the threads of love and fate. As Camie edges closer to the truth, she discovers that some mysteries may be better left buried-and that redemption often comes at a harrowing cost. **This story is a work of fiction.

Aetheric Design

In the crumbling, magic-forsaken empire of Veridia, where ancient cathedrals stand as skeletal monuments to a forgotten age, a clandestine war brews beneath the surface. Magic, once the lifeblood of the land, is now a forbidden whisper, hunted down by the zealous Inquisition. Yet, in the shadowed alleys and forgotten crypts, secret cults dedicated to the old ways thrive, their illicit rituals a desperate plea for power in a world stripped bare. Our protagonist, a young and resourceful smuggler, navigates this treacherous landscape, his survival dependent on his wits and his ability to slip through the cracks of imperial law. Drawn into the dangerous currents of Veridia's hidden magical underworld, he finds himself ensnared in a confrontation far grander and more perilous than any he has faced before. One fateful midnight, within the hallowed, decaying walls of a crumbling cathedral, he comes face-to-face with a high priestess of a forbidden cult. This encounter is not merely a clash of wills, but a collision of ideologies, a spark that threatens to ignite the smoldering embers of rebellion and expose the empire's deepest, darkest secrets. As the ancient stones bear witness, the smuggler must choose between self-preservation and a desperate gamble for a world yearning for the return of its lost magic. Key Themes: Forbidden Magic vs. Oppressive Authority Decay and Rebirth Survival and Rebellion The Allure and Danger of Power Moral Ambiguity Target Audience: Readers who enjoy atmospheric dark fantasy, gothic settings, and stories with complex moral dilemmas and high stakes.
