These ones will bewitch you, too.

Books With Magic & Mythology

Terciel & Elinor by Garth Nix

Old Kingdom: Terciel, an orphan, is 18 years old when he learns necromancy from his great-uncle Tizanael. In the Old Kingdom, there are old and sometimes dangerous magics. In other words, not to bring back the dead. Instead, lay them to rest. His job is to keep the dead from coming back to life. Tizanael is the latest in a long line of people who do this.

Across the wall in Ancelstierre, which is a steam-age country where magic isn't very common, 19-year-old Elinor lives a quiet life in a small house. There are only two people in her life: an old governess and a groom who used to be a famous circus star. It doesn't matter that her mother is sick or about to die. People still don't like her.

Elinor doesn't know that the Old Kingdom is very important to her, or that magic can sometimes come across the Wall. Terciel and Tizanael are brought to Ancelstierre by an old enemy of the Abhorsens. This is what happens in a single day: There is fire and death and loss. Elinor finds herself on a path that takes her into Terciel's life, into the Old Kingdom, and into a fight between the Abhorsens and the Dead who won't stay dead, as well.

The Color of Dragons by R.A. Salvatore & Erika Lewis

Powerful adult fantasy author R. A. Salvatore and Erika Lewis write a sweeping, action-packed, romantic pre-Arthurian story about the origins of magic (and Merlin) that's great for fans ofFalling Kingdoms andSeraphina, or anyone who likes books like that.

Magic needs a fire.

And Maggie's powers are especially prone to change. With no one to help her learn how to control her magic, the life debt that she owes is a debt that she can never pay off.

When she meets Griffin, the king's champion, he's known for hunting down the draignochs that live in their kingdom. She doesn't like him at first.

Both of them don't know that their meeting will start a chain of events that will change everything they know about their lives and the history of the world after that.

Readers will be enchanted by this epic, romantic story. They will be drawn into a world of star-crossed lovers, magic, fate, and the paths we choose.

Jade Fire Gold by June CL Tan

An empire on the brink of war is where this is going to happen

There is no one named Ahnis. He doesn't have a past or a family.

Altani is an heir who was taken away as a child.

As soon as they meet, Altan sees in Ahn a way to return to the throne. It looks like Ahn will be able to finally get to the bottom of her past and learn more about her lethal magical abilities.

There might be a much bigger price to pay than either of them thought.

The god of death himself has given her dangerous gifts and a violent fate. She learns this at this place. This is what happens if she stays at the convent. She will be trained to be an assassin and become the Death's handmaiden if she does. To get her new life, she must kill other people. To get to the high court of Brittany, Ismae has to do her most important job right away. There, she finds herself ill-prepared not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. It's not easy for her to get back at someone who has taken her heart against her will. How can she get back at them?

Karina, on the other hand, wants to kill herself. A knife is lurking over her neck. Her mother, the Sultana, has been killed, and her court is threatening to mutiny. Karina is devastated by the death of her mother, so she decides to use ancient magic to bring her back to life. To do this, she needs the heart of a king. And she knows how to get one: She will marry the winner of the Solstasia competition if she gives him her hand.

A prince was scared of magic. A king who is very angry. A witch doctor who doesn't go out alone.

Magic has been Arrah's dream for a long time. She finally has it, but it comes at a high price. As the last witch doctor left alive, she has to pick up the pieces of a family that betrayed her, a kingdom in chaos, and a love that can't be.

To find survivors of the demons' attack while she goes back to her tribe, Arrah goes back to the tribal lands. Her love, Rudjek, is looking for the remnants of the demon army and uncovering a plot that would destroy their world.

As long as Arrah and Rudjek can't figure out what the Demon King is up to and get him out of the way, he'll destroy everything and everyone he comes across.

When the Kingdom of Souls trilogy was written, it was set in a richly imagined world that was based on stories about voodoo and folk magic. The film rights to the trilogy have been bought by Michael B. Jordan and his production company Outlier Society, which is run by Warner Bros.

The Tiger at Midnight by Swati Teerdhala

Esha lost everything in the royal coup, but as the legendary rebel known as the Viper, she's made the guilty pay for their crimes, too. Now she has to do her most important job yet: kill General Hotha.

For as long as I can remember, Kunal has been a member of the army. Even though a part of Kunal wants to join the outside world, which is becoming more dangerous, his uncle, the general, has made sure that Kunal never goes off the path.

They meet up on a fateful night. An impossible chain of events starts to happen. As long as they're moving the pieces, the Viper and soldier think they're in charge. But they aren't the only ones who do that.

Soldiers and rebels must decide where their loyalties lie: with the lives they've killed to hold on to or with the love that's made them dream of something better. As the bonds that hold their land together break down and the sins of their past meet the promise of a new future, both must decide where their loyalties lie.
