While the backstreets may have once been a thriving community, a refuge away from the noisy city where they could practice magic in peace, they've long since been abandoned. The winding streets are easy to get lost in if you do not know where you are going - and sometimes even when you do. They are shortcuts for the fortunate, escapes for the desperate, and dead ends for the rest. The few who do reside in them are not the most pleasant. They may help,...

Hidden away in dark alleys and performed by those with the proper training, magic still thrives. Being forced into the shadows over the years has created some issues, with some wanting to bring it further out into the light and use it for their own purposes. The Syndicate is an organization dedicated to keeping that from happening. They have eyes and ears all over the city, watching and making sure no one steps out of line. For those who do, the punishment...

"No one ever made you raise the dead. The dead can only ask nicely. Or not so nicely." Gigi's ghost problem has only gotten worse. Her magic has plunged into darkness and the spirits appear not only for her but for everyone around her whenever she tries to cast even the smallest spell. Worse, she's accidentally teleported to the United States, where the punishment for wrongdoing may result in death at the hands of their heroes. Her only hope to return...

If there was one thing Alice was good at, it was lying. When Alice swears that she is done with Wonderland, Adrianna wants to believe she is telling the truth. Alice has stopped going to Wonderland, stopped vanishing at a whim, stopped ignoring her teachers in class. It's like she's a whole new girl, one that is ready to move on with her life and start working toward her future. But there are cracks appearing in the mirrors-and in Alice's facade....

You do not talk about heroes, villains, or powers. You do and you will disappear. The Welcoming Committee was a success. New students continued to pour into Larkdale Secondary every week, now all able to easily find their classes, join the clubs they wanted to, and had a support system in case they needed anything. And they nearly stopped getting killed by the city. Nearly. Many of them were restless, unable to even speak freely outside of the club...

After all this time, the end was finally in sight. Alice long ago learned that life wasn't fair. She had tried everything to defeat the Bandersnatch, but he remained deep in the forest of Lucena Academy. With only one semester left, she thought she could just enjoy herself as much as possible and wait until he finally took her away forever. But when Adrianna suddenly falls into a coma, Alice knows there's something strange happening. At the direction...

The magic of the world never really went away. It's just been hidden, forced into back alleys and out of the public eye for so long that some don't believe that it ever existed at all. Scattered across the world and hidden away into the back streets, there are many who know otherwise and make it their lives to hide it. They have more than enough work on their hands as they seem to be at the centre of something big. The fabric of the universe seems...

If death didn't stop her, then neither would her family. At last, Bea was free of all of the curses keeping her silent and still. With nothing left to keep her in her mother's basement, she escapes to the west coast to resume the life she'd made for herself so long ago, away from her family and their demands to satisfy their expectations. It's almost like the last year never happened. Almost. But Apex is still watching her every move. When Red and...

Whitten was just what Indira hoped for. It was a city that had banned heroes and villains, which meant no more rebuilding her home after a disaster, no more texts from her mother about how her father had been kidnapped, and no more worrying that she might be forced to become a hero herself one day. Indira soon finds out that the city holds a dangerous secret. Keeping superheroes and supervillains out of the city comes at a cost and, if she isn't careful,...
