    Summary

    We know them now as Charlie, the Keeper of the Repository, the Slayer of Ranrok, the Savior of Ancient Magic. But before that, they were known as Charlene, a lonely ward of their Auntie Katherine.

    All it took was a single card trick and a bit of punch at the party for Charlene to be thrust into the world they would eventually save.

    To be welcomed into a world where magic is just the beginning can be seen as a curse. In this instance, however, for Charlie it is a blessing.

    Charlie reckons with the possibility of undergoing the "change"- a simple bit of magic that would give them the body they always felt like they were supposed to have.

    The story of how Charlene became Charlie Cagney.

    Summary

    Despite hoping for a quiet seventh year, Sebastian Sallow finds anything but.

    A new ghost, a mysterious Specter, a decaying, eerie figure who makes demands not only of Professor Black, but of the new managers of Crossed Wands, Garreth and Leander. A Specter who has an other worldly tie to the new Keeper and Sebastian's best friend, Charlie Cagney.

    This Specter, combined with an International Pageantry Dueling Tournament where Cagney, a newcomer to the art, rises to the top quickly, leads Sebastian to believe that there's an underlying thread that ties this all together.

    The mystery unfolds as the shadow trio go through their final year at Hogwarts, and Sebastian is at the center of it all.

    A Phantom of the Opera inspired mystery.

    Summary

    You and Sebastian tried to distance yourselves from who you were as fifteen-year-olds, burying the past deep within, in the hopes that the terrible memories will be erased. When Sebastian is attacked by a werewolf while breaking a curse, you’re both forced to reckon with things left unsaid as you navigate Sebastian’s new condition.

    Neither of you were who you hoped you would be. But together you start to heal and discover who you could be.

    (You do not need to read the other parts of this series to understand this one).

    Summary

    Where does a heart come from? Does it descend from light or float up from the darkness? Can it be made from vivarium echoes? If they're stolen, can they be used by something else? Where did a heart come from and why were they so painful to keep, to protect? Roxas had no idea what he'd do with one of his own, yet alone three of them.

    Summary

    „The potions master didn't want to admit it, but he had grown fond of Nathan over the summer break. Which was exactly what was going to make the next few months just that much harder.
    Sharp sighed, weighing his options. He'd had enough time to assess the boy's character. How much would they be able to tell him? How much could they say before he aligned with the wrong side? One could only hope the boy had made friends who were ready to go through hell with him.“

    Sheltered from an invisible war fought in front of Wizardkind, Nathan would learn his part in it could tip the scales for better or worse. But who's to say what is right and what is not...
    The Ends always justify the means, don't they?
