Over twenty-five years have passed since the Battle of Freeguard. Old wounds have healed, peace and prosperity reign, children have grown, and the future appears bright. Yet, greed still lingers, and a quest for lost wealth uncovers something from the past, something best left buried, unleashing dark forces of cataclysmic proportions. As the world plunges into darkness and humanity teeters on the brink, the circle of fate turns, and old legends must rise in a desperate bid to save what remains … but will they be cursed to fail?

"What the gods give with one hand, they take away with the other, for if you are gifted, you shall also be cursed". The End of Dreams is the nervewracking and glorious conclusion to The Gifted and the Cursed trilogy. As Daleth the Witch-King and his horde ready themselves for the final battle, a small alliance prepares for a desperate last stand. However, the alliance is weak and fractured, led by a king interested only in retaining his wealth and a lord commander consumed by his thirst for revenge.

I killed a monster, and now I have magic. But then I died, too. I figured that was the end, but a mysterious group of strangers brought me back to life. Now, everything is different. I'm at the Arcane Academy for the Gifted, a school of magic where the women vastly outnumber the men. My days are for mastering my newfound power, and my nights—well, they are for "studying". Unfortunately, someone is sending monsters my way. I have to figure out who it is before they kill me. Because that resurrection thing was a onetime deal.

In a world where magical powers are commonplace, Holy Maiden Ysabel is revered as a goddess among her people. She's the only one able to heal the sick and injured with a simple touch.

To add insult to injury, she's supposed to maintain a pure image even though she'd rather drink and play dominatrix until her sorrows fade away.

Within an hour of Bora's arrival in Arahasnor, she runs into her toxic ex-boyfriend, offends a malicious noblewoman, and narrowly escapes from the city guards.

That is, until there's a freak magical accident.
