Possible idea: She works in the kitchens or gardens and when she fights off an inhuman intruder she accidentally sets fire to the room; afterward there is no sign of any intruder and she is thrown out; the son of the family (perhaps her romantic interest) believes her and confesses that he has been hiding a rare gift for sorcery/witchcraft - which is forbidden and outlawed - that he is unable to safely control and believes he may himself be to blame. When the same apparition reappears and almost successfully kills his father he leaves the home with the girl - but she does not believe that he is responsible and tries to find the real source. The father being rich and powerful sanctions a witch-hunt to drive out all practitioners of forbidden arts and the girl (who has no magical powers) falls under suspicion for "bewitching" his son and being the possible assassin. So basically the girl is a detective and the boy is a witch. The twist in the end could be that the father gained all his power and wealth through malevolent sorcery and the apparition that tries to kill him is created by his own conscience - his good side trying to stop him.

Another idea is a story about some body stuck in the dream realm.

She has to find a way back to her own time, but has to go through a series of adventures to get to the person who can help her find her way back?<br><b>References : </b><br> How about the story of a girl who gets lost while hiking and find this cave that turns out to be a portal into another world were magic is a way of life?
