"Shadows of Nocterra: The Forbidden Codex"

In the perpetually twilight realm of Nocterra, magic is both a blessing and a curse. Power is everything, and those without it are mere fodder for the ruthless mage-lords who control society. Ethan Nightshade, an orphaned street urchin with barely a spark of magical potential, has survived on nothing but wit and desperation. When a mysterious opportunity arises for commoners to enter the legendary Magical Academy, Ethan sees his one chance to escape the brutal streets of Shadowhaven. But everything changes when he discovers an ancient, forbidden tome - the Codex of Forbidden Shadows - a magical book that contains knowledge beyond imagination. As Ethan begins to unlock the book's secrets, he realizes he's stumbled upon a power that could either save him or destroy everything around him. The Codex grants him access to shadow magic - a forbidden art that allows him to manipulate reality itself, but comes with a terrifying price. Thrust into a world of political intrigue, deadly magical competitions, and centuries-old conspiracies, Ethan must navigate treacherous waters. The Academy is a battlefield where students are as likely to kill each other as learn magic, and Ethan's newfound abilities make him both a target and a potential game-changer. With powerful enemies hunting him, a mysterious mentor with hidden motives, and a magical book that seems to have its own agenda, Ethan must decide how far he's willing to go to survive. Will he become the weapon the Codex wants him to be, or can he maintain his humanity in a world that rewards only the most ruthless?

Chasing the Gridiron Dream Book1 (Knights and Gridiron)

Hiroshi Tanaka, an 11-year-old chess prodigy, is the pride of his small Japanese town. With an unmatched ability to see the board several moves ahead, Hiroshi has won national tournaments and dreams of becoming a grandmaster. However, the solitary nature of chess weighs on him. He begins to crave something more—something dynamic, physical, and collaborative. His life changes when he accidentally watches an American football game on TV and is immediately captivated by its mix of strategy, action, and teamwork. Fascinated, Hiroshi starts obsessively studying football. He draws parallels between chess and the sport, fascinated by how every play feels like a tactical battle. With no local football teams in his town, Hiroshi convinces his school friends to help him form a small club, teaching them the basics he’s learned from videos and books. His leadership, fueled by his chess-honed mind, begins to shine as he creates strategies that allow his team of misfits to beat more experienced players in informal matches. But Hiroshi faces challenges. His parents, proud of his chess achievements, don’t see football as a worthwhile pursuit and worry it could derail his future. Classmates mock his interest in an "American sport," and Hiroshi himself struggles with the physical demands of football, far different from the mental game he’s mastered. The book culminates in a local exhibition game where Hiroshi’s team, with their unconventional strategies and teamwork, face a group of older, more experienced players. Though physically outmatched, Hiroshi uses his chess expertise to outthink their opponents, leading to an exhilarating victory. Inspired by this success, Hiroshi vows to chase his dream of playing professional football, despite the odds stacked against him. This is a 5 series book
