The first three chapters of the rewrite (draft version) of this book will be released on August 21, 2022. Prologue is out now to read. Come back and fall in love with Charlotte and Nayte all over again as they embark on a journey set in a whole new world. New adventures, new friends, and new magic with a slow burning romance for die for. Please note I wrote this back in HS 2012-2013 but I still hope you enjoy the story.

What secrets lays beneath the closed curtains of the Crown ward, what are they concealing from the eyes of those they deem lesser. Simon wakes up in a dark room, and can't remember anything that happened after breakfast that morning. Scarlet is the assistant of the apothecary in the lower wards in the city, and is particularly talented in medicine. The prodigious son The Colonels wife The Captain And the Colonel himself All are drawn together by a strange coin, and the prospect of revealing those who deem themselves higher's deepest, darkest secrets. Set in steampunk, Victorian era.
