Marigold has only known the mansion on the hillside - it's been her whole life. It started when she was little, when her father was hired by a Professor Digory Kirk. She began staying with her father everyday, learning about the house and it's history. Now as an adult and her father gone, she helps take care of the mansion as well as the professor that owns it. Struck with loneliness, the girl only has the books in the library to turn too. But what happens when the house takes 4 children in? Maybe Marigold will find her true destiny faster than she thought.

The king is dead. As the realms under the Nuvariyan Kingdom mourn the lost of their beloved patriarch, the seemingly inconsequential paths of several very different individuals turn towards a common destination. These unsuspecting characters are all being drawn, some willingly and others not so, unto a collision course filled with lies and schemes, prejudice and suspicion, magic and mystery. Who shall prevail is yet to be unearthed, as is the force that seeks to destroy it all. *will plan to update with several chapters towards the end of every month. *any constructive criticism or advice is welcome!

This is a story about learning, resilience, and the unspoken bond between a brother and sister. Amy and Ben aren't your typical siblings. Ben has high-functioning autism and is non-verbal, yet fiercely determined to prove he can navigate the world on his own. Amy, tasked with watching over her younger brother, doesn't always mind-but sometimes the weight of that responsibility leaves her feeling isolated and frustrated. Together, they face challenges that test their patience, strength, and love. With help along the way, they must learn to understand one another-not just as siblings, but as individuals. Can Amy and Ben find their rhythm before they're swept into something far bigger than either of them imagined? In every direction that Amy looked there was nothing. There was no life, nothing green was growing there. And worst of all there was no sign of people, anywhere. The rainbow was gone, so were the voices. Amy gulped and rubbed the sides of her forehead, thinking. What had they gotten themselves into now, more to the point what had Ben gotten them into? "Amy, want to go home now." Typed Ben shivering. His fingers and toes hurt, he felt that cold. Amy looked at him. " We can't get home, the gate has gone." ✨ In this opening from The Dreyarn Chronicles, two children step through what should've been wonder-and land in a world that forgot how to live. Something is waiting in the silence. But it might not be kind. ➡️ Start reading on Wattpad: [https://www.wattpad.com/story/8655268-the-books-of-dreyarn-book-one-through-the-rainbow] #DreyarnChronicles #FantasyFiction #LostMagic #YAReads
