Cayrnr has always been a quaint place, nestled in the southern reaches of the vale, its lamplit streets are warm and welcoming to travelers, mages and citizens alike. It's not a bad place to live... or so Efa thinks. Abandoned at birth, and having grown up an orphan, she earns her keep by delivering letters for the Cayrnr post company. But after passing her fifteenth winter, she receives a letter, detailing an interesting proposal; to travel beyond Cayrnr and even beyond the Vale to become a messenger for a secret organization, bent on maintaining balance in their world. But first she must undertake the long journey to reach the destination that she was detailed to find. . . and things don't go as smoothly as she had hoped. With her journey off to a bad start, Efa must face hardship after hardship as she eventually finds the people who summoned her and joins them in their mission. Dealing with angry nobles and all powerful Magi become a routine occurrence, while skirmishes with Faeries and the Beasts happen all too often. Watch as she makes new friends, confronts old ones, unearths a conspiracy that has been rooted deep in the core of their kingdom, discovers her prowess for the magnus arts and changes the course of magic forever...

But when a watery specter begins to haunt the family’s Cape Cod home, Cara and her brothers realize that their scientist mother may not be who they thought she was—and that the world has much stranger, much older inhabitants than they had imagined. With help from Cara’s best friend Hayley, the three embark on a quest that will lead them from the Cape’s hidden, ancient places to a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea. They’re soon on the front lines of an ancient battle between good and evil, with the terrifying “pouring man” close on their heels.

What would you do if tales of old stayed true to the original text? Would you like them more than the remade Disney tales? You might find yourself trapped in the whirlwind of folk tales, of the stories that were meant to scare children into listening to their parents. Read to find out! This is a copy of The Grimm Brothers fairy tales. It's just a copyright, really, I hope you enjoy! (A/N: I began this when I was 13 and I had no idea what editing was so some of these are not edited to be very readable, if you find yourself struggling please message me and I will try my best to fix it! I'm 19 now and I major in storytellers art english so I should be able to make it flow nicely!)

Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion. All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself. *** Cover help from the awesome @ArdenBrooks. Special thanks to @rainersalt, @giveitameaning, and @piperjones033 !
