It's 1860, and after a childhood spent on the grueling frontier of the Old West, Mae Clemens has finally found a place that feels like home. Wanting nothing more than to make friends and put down roots, Mae soon meets her match in Autumn, a haughty, free-spirited young wood nymph stranded in the realm of humankind. Autumn is desperate to escape Mae's hardscrabble world, but survival soon takes precedence. Vicious outlaws plague the drought-stricken town, and deadly fear grows with the mystery of missing children. But the mundane world isn't the only source of danger - there's a monstrous evil waiting for the two girls, and an ancient trickster with his own plans for their fate, whatever it may be. Winner of the 2015 "Hidden Gems" Watty award (the world's largest online writing contest), Oakwood Grange is a thrilling all-ages adventure that blends spellbinding fantasy with gritty Western sensibilities. Immerse yourself in an enchanting story of heartwarming beauty and timeless Americana, as debut author Rhón asks questions about innocence, friendship, and the evergreen importance of home. In an achingly real world touched by myth, two girls set out on a journey of discovery, but one they may not survive.

Just a heads up: I started writing this story when I was 14 and looking back almost five years later I see how deeply flawed it is. So I am currently changing it, even the name will change, but it is going to take incredibly long for me to do it in between college obligations. If you still want to read it I will greatly appreciate it but please don't bite my head off for the mistakes in it XD ---- Sakura seems to be a normal high-schooler but she is actually one of the five people who were selected to test the latest VR technology: the Teleport System. She was overjoyed at the idea but she never expected that she will be trapped inside the VR world and actually have to fight for her life... all of this because of a missing person!

In a world of fear ruled by evil, when the light of hope was long dead, a new Order was formed. The Templars rose and courageously fought the ghostly Scythes which have terrorized the world for millenaries by feeding on human souls under the cover of the night. The Templars brought back the hope of survival and a better tomorrow to the people of Teak. Today, 500 years later, the Order will see its foundations shaken and will enter a new era as Lady Mathilda of Ravenclaw is about to enter the Temple as Mat of Raven.

When fifteen year old Drake was born, they called him boneless. Destined to die for what his clan called an abnormality, the love of his mother saved him. But growing up with a weak bone disease meant he cannot fight, hunt, joust, or draw a blood-sigil that has become a custom for every kid. Considered a weakling by many including his family, Drake knows his only chance to succeed is to learn faster and work twice harder than the other boys, but he lacks the very thing that defines greatness amongst his clan; the ability to wield a blood bonded magic. When a failed assassination attempt leaves him lost in the woods, a chance encounter sets him upon a strange creature with secrets that could change his life or destroy him. In the prominent cities of the Nine Worlds, an assassin strikes fear in the hearts of Kings. People whisper of the Black Fury, a goddess of vengeance, but Zelos Shadowstealer is just a girl burdened by a great power, whose identity, happiness, and future have been enslaved to serve the greed of her masters. Kingdoms have fallen, wars ignited, and great names extinguished at the edge of her blade, but when she is set upon a young prince doomed to die by her hand, she begins to entertain questions that leaves her with two choices- smother the affection that had sprouted in her cold heart or be hunted by the murderers she had once served. In a world where a strong arm and a cold heart rules, the two begin to realize that the line between withering and surviving is truly thin.

They say the world used to turn. They say that night would follow day in an endless dance. They say that dawn rose, dusk fell, and we worshiped both sun and stars. That was a long time ago. The dance has died. The world has fallen still. We float through the heavens, one half always in light, one half always in shadow. Like the moth of our forests, one wing white and the other black, we are torn. My people are the fortunate. We live in daylight, blessed in the warmth of the sun. Yet across the line, the others lurk in eternal night, afraid... and alone in the dark. I was born in the light. I was sent into darkness. This is my story.
