Outlaw Witch

In a city of magic users, I am unique—a magical sponge with the ability to absorb the powers of others. But my gift turned into a curse when I unintentionally absorbed outlawed magic as a naive, young witch. Sentenced to death by my coven, I escaped my execution by the skin of my teeth, and have spent the past decade on society's fringes, concealing my true nature and struggling to survive.

Everything changes when three alpha mages enter my life, each notorious in our city's shadowy underbelly. There's Roscoe, the master of illusion, who possesses unwavering loyalty—unless you manage to get in his bad books, which I do almost immediately. Zeph, a storm mage, who hides behind a facade of cool control, but his wildcard nature keeps me guessing his true feelings. Lastly, there's Fabian, their leader, a blood mage poisoned by a deadly blood curse that only I can help him break.

Together, they offer me a chance at redemption. A clean slate. One that would bring me back into society along with my new family of weirdos and outcasts.

Now I just have to get through this mission while guarding my secrets.

I just hope our temporary alliance doesn't turn out to be a colossal mistake.
