Masked Magician

Masks and Deceit

Caspian inched closer until his lips were mere inches away from Davina's, reeling her in to close the nonexistent gap between their mouths. "Have you ever been kissed, Dimitri?" He asked. Before Davina could lose control after Caspian's cold lips lightly grazed hers, she pushed him away and hurriedly stood up. "My Lord, this is highly unethical!" Her real voice nearly slipped out amid the chaos. "What's unethical about this?" Caspian's face lifted to form an innocent yet devilish smile, he seemed to be enjoying the reaction he got out of her. Flustered, Davina turned her back to him and took deep breaths before speaking more composedly. "We are both men and it wasn't ethical of you to try and... kiss me." The last bit came out as a whisper blown away by the wind. Caspian's chuckle echoed through the woods as he stood up from the bench and faced Davina with a smug look on his face. "Tell me, Dimitri, was I really trying to kiss a man just now?" "W-what do you mean?" Davina stumbled backward as she stared at Caspian in shock and disbelief, unsure of what to do to save herself from that situation. "Let me rephrase my question." Caspian delicately grazed Davina's cheeks with the back of his hand. "Are you really a man?" ***** With a bounty on her head and the need for a place to stay, Davina snuck into the castle of Lendorr, posing as a man in the royal army. Luckily for her, she was able to get away with her ruse easily that is, until she met the mysterious Lord Caspian. She is tasked with being one of his guards all while trying to avoid getting caught by the man who made it his life's mission to ruin her plan. Through a twisted game of deceit, Davina is forced to make a grave choice between Love and the REAL reason why she snuck into the castle.

The Butcher Of Magicians

– – THIS IS JUST A DRAFT AND AS SUCH AM NOT TAKING IT SERIOUSLY HOWEVER IF YOU THINK ITS GOOD SURPPOT ME WITH POWERSTONES IF I GET ENOUGH I WOULD REWRITE IT AND ENSURE ITS PROFESSIONALLY WRITTEN (^_^) PS— A book which I am, actually taking seriously is called The Gravity Villain's Silent Return if you enjoy my writting check it out :) I guarantee it won't be a waste of your time :} Title: The Butcher of Magicians Genre: Action, Fantasy, Manipulative, Obsessive, Gore, Antihero --- Synopsis: In the world of Magaeth, magic reigns supreme. The most powerful magicians are not only respected but feared, holding unimaginable influence over all who cross their paths. At the top of this hierarchy, a select few wield immense power, their strength practically untouchable. Yet beneath this veil of strength and prestige, an unseen predator lurks in the shadows—a man with no magic, yet an uncanny ability to manipulate and destroy those who are. Ezra Drax is not your typical hero or villain. He’s neither driven by a thirst for power nor vengeance. Ezra is a hunter, and his prey? The strongest magicians in the world. A former swordsman with no magical abilities, Ezra has mastered the art of infiltration, psychological manipulation, and most disturbingly, the thrill of the kill. He is an enigmatic figure, charming yet sinister, blending in with his surroundings while quietly making his way toward his true goal: to destroy the very magicians who believe they are untouchable. When Ezra infiltrates Thalorian Academy, a prestigious school for the world's elite magicians, he presents himself as nothing more than a humble, curious swordsman seeking to improve his skills. But beneath his calm and unassuming exterior, Ezra is on a far darker mission—one kill at a time. He begins with Orland, an arrogant and ambitious magician at the academy, feeding him lies and deceit to fuel his obsession with power, until it is too late for Orland to turn back. Ezra’s calculated manipulation leads him to other powerful targets, each kill more brutal and bold than the last. Ezra’s manipulations are a work of art—his victims don’t see it coming until it’s too late. The academy’s leadership is soon aware of the mysterious deaths but cannot pinpoint the killer. As Ezra continues his ruthless pursuit, he remains several steps ahead, always in control, his own goals hidden behind the façade of a mere observer. But there’s a growing tension. Ezra’s increasing recklessness—fueled by his twisted obsession with killing strong magicians—puts him on a dangerous path, one that could lead to his exposure. With every victim, his legend grows, but so does the danger of his undoing. In a world where power and survival are everything, Ezra’s greatest challenge may not be the magicians he targets, but the temptation to push his obsession to its limits. The Butcher of Magicians is a dark, action-packed tale of manipulation, betrayal, and the chilling pursuit of an unrelenting predator. As Ezra carves his bloody path through the academy, readers will be swept into a world where nothing is what it seems, and the line between hunter and hunted blurs into nothingness. Will Ezra’s thirst for the kill consume him, or will his obsession be his ultimate downfall? One thing is certain: in a world ruled by magic, it’s not always the strongest who survive but the cunning A/NThis takes a lot of effort and time to make compared to my other novels which don't involve as much deception so unless it does well I would not be posting more chapters as this is purely experimental

A Monster Behind The Mask

Dragnelle Étoile is no stranger to secrets. A sharp-witted private investigator with a shadowed past, she navigates life with a limp, a cane adorned with a beast’s head, and a determination as unyielding as the pain in her leg. When Mickaël Rakoto, a man she hasn’t seen in decades, steps back into her life with a desperate plea, she is thrust into a world she thought she’d left behind—a world of wealth, power, and dangerous family secrets. Mickaël’s sister-in-law, Myrha Rakoto, has died under mysterious circumstances while climbing. Officially ruled as an accident, her death doesn’t sit well with Mickaël, who suspects foul play. But in a city where his wife’s powerful family—the Rakoto shipping dynasty—controls everything from the local police to the narrative of Myrha’s death, Mickaël needs someone fearless enough to uncover the truth. Dragnelle takes the case, but each clue she uncovers pulls her deeper into the Rakoto family’s web of lies, privilege, and betrayal. As she pieces together the circumstances of Myrha’s death, Dragnelle must confront ghosts from her own past, including her complicated history with Mickaël. With her sharp mind and sharper tongue, she maneuvers through bribes, betrayals, and old memories, searching for answers no one wants found. Set against the vibrant streets of Antananarivo and the shadowy world of high society, this is a gripping tale of ambition, justice, and the price of uncovering the truth. Secrets, after all, always have a way of coming to light—even when buried at the top of the climb.
