The Culling of Magic

TJSharp
Al had always been the odd one out. The kid that others picked on and many more looked to put blame on. All these years of loneliness caused by the simple fact that he was an elf. That anger with others turned into anger with himself for what he is. Since the time he started being able to read he had an admiration towards magic. If any of it were still left in the world, he’d finally be normal. He’d finally be able to enjoy his life. Only it was just a fantasy. Magic would never return despite Al’s prayers. Eventually he gave up on the idea and learned to accept his position in the world. The kids at school would still bully him, and his family would continue to believe everything was fine. “It was better this way he thought” Al and his family decided to take some time for themselves and go on a nice vacation to the beach. Little did any of them know, it would be the day Al’s prayers were finally answered. The world will return to its magical state, for better or worse.

The Last Touched: Rite of Queens

AUTHOR'S NOTE: It's come to my attention that I accidentally set my privilege chapters to start too early, to make up for this (since I'm unable to change that) I've set up an 80% Privilege Chapter Discount launching May 2025 for all privilege tiers. I hope you still give my book a chance so that you can fall in love with the characters as much as I have while writing it. ABSTRACT: Elsbeth is the last touched, the Alpha of the 12th cursed pack of wolves, struggling to rebuild her life after her father, the former alpha, murdered the queen. To protect her people from her former mate—a dangerous and vengeful force bent on hunting them to extinction—Elsbeth must undergo the Rite of Queens, an ancient and powerful ritual that challenges the descendants of the bloodline to prove they can rule with strength and wisdom. In the Rite, Elsbeth is thrust into the past, inhabiting the life of her ancestor, the first queen, and the rightful heir to the throne. Born of a potent wolf bloodline, she is destined to ascend to the throne and lead the kingdom. But her world unravels when she uncovers a buried secret—she has a sister, Julia, a half-sibling born of fire and cast out long ago. Julia, a firefox-wolf hybrid, is not just a bitter reminder of their mother's betrayal; she is a living force of destruction, burning with unrelenting rage and power, and she’s determined to claim the throne for herself. As Elsbeth navigates this new life and rises in her rightful position, she is haunted by the bond she shares with Fen, her true mate. The mate bond is a powerful connection, one that threatens to consume her entirely. Elsbeth fears that if she surrenders too deeply to this love, she will lose herself, unable to fulfill her duties as queen and warrior. The idea of abandoning everything for the sake of love terrifies her, and the fear of being drawn into the mate bond’s pull is one she can’t ignore. Meanwhile, Julia is amassing an army, her flames of fury ready to burn the kingdom to the ground. Determined to reclaim what she believes is her birthright, Julia will stop at nothing to destroy everything Elsbeth holds dear. As Elsbeth’s responsibilities mount, the battle between the two sisters becomes inevitable—a clash of fire and wolf that could reshape the very fate of their realm. Caught between the loyalty to her people and the magnetic pull of her mate, Elsbeth must find a way to confront her sister’s growing power, protect her kingdom, and navigate the turmoil within herself. The future of the kingdom hangs in the balance, and Elsbeth must decide what kind of ruler she will be. Will she succumb to the love of her mate, or will she rise above, setting aside her heart to protect everything she’s sworn to defend? The Last Touched: Rite of Queens is a tale of family, power, and sacrifice. In a world where the fire of the past threatens to consume everything, Elsbeth’s greatest challenge lies in finding the strength to rule—without losing herself in the flames.
