Twenty-two-year-old Autumn has spent her entire life keeping her head down and her witchcraft a closely guarded secret. She successfully flew under the radar all through school, but her quiet life shatters one night after her shift at a local coffee shop. Taking her usual shortcut through a dark alley, she witnesses a man being shot by a mugger. Driven by instinct, Autumn uses her forbidden healing magic to save his life. Though she flees the scene hoping he was too far gone to notice, the stranger tracks her down at work the next day. He has proof: a nearly vanished bullet wound and a vivid memory of her magic. But just as Autumn fears her secret is out, he offers a shocking bargain. He'll keep her secret if she admits the truth-because he has a world-altering secret of his own. He isn't from this planet, and she isn't the only one with powers.

Hi Ya'll! I hope that you are excited for this story.I started writing a different story previously, but quickly lost interest as it wasn't really the path I want to go down. I was trying to 'fit in' and write fanfic's. I since learned that is not my style. This will be my first wlw story with my OC's. Anyways, enough with the getting to know me. Rory is my main character. She moved from Michigan to Florida. We will slowly learn why throughout getting to know her. As she makes her way through a new school, she faces both hardships, and rewarding moments. Where does Rory's love life come in? Well, Rory tries to fit in with her new friends, she drowns her feelings in new hookups and boy toys. Of course none of these end up sticking. Rory will face many challenges, and have to learn what it is like to accept herself. I hope you all enjoy! Remember to give me feedback, as I am writing this story in real time. Thank you! Enjoy!

For generations, the noble and ancient Schwan family kept a secret and silent watch over the city of Tacoma. Then, in one night of bloodshed and fire at the dawn of the new millennium, they were gone. Thirteen years later, nobody knows whom is responsible, how it was done, or why. The year is 2013. In the Schwans absence, the delicate tapestry of polite lies and political compromises that has held their supernatural world together is fraying at the seams. The remaining six houses royal jockey for position. Revolution simmers beneath the thin surface, and the adults are too attached to how things used to be to recognize the darkness coming. Amidst this conflict, five lives are drawn slowly together. A Prince's daughter struggles to find her own destiny within the web of power surrounding her father. One retainer searches for answers whilst another, long retired, protects her charges from royal and commoner alike. A regent-in-exile hunts a forgotten monster through the city's back-alleys and dark shadows. And in a farm-house outside the city, long occluded from sight, a power stirs, its bearer abruptly forced into a world that will hunger to control him, or destroy him entirely. *** Glassblade is a fantasy novel, the first in the Wielder Saga, and updating every other week on Fridays.
