• Long Listed for the 2018 Wattys • A Wattpad Featured Story • Top 30 in the first ever Historical Awards [ A "GREAT EXPECTATIONS" RETELLING ] GENRE: historical fiction London, 1884 "Sometimes, even messiahs can't bring back the dead." Instead of earning the reputation of a modest doctor, Matthew Knightley seems to be earning one of a raven chasing rebel amongst his peers. Taking a side turn from the family business and fighting a cold war with your father doesn't help either. Still, he does not let such inconvenices steer his ship into the wrong direction. Though, the raven Matthew keeps seeing leads him again and again to a woman with more half-truths than lies. She may not say so herself, but Mathilda Penrose may be one of those secrets that Matthew never bargained for. Hints and glimpses of a carefully structured past follow him. They all point to a past that the newer generation of the Knightleys and Penroses barely know of. Instead of abolishing that cold war with his father, Matthew finds the very base of his own Eden shattering into a thousand rays of scorching light. || Cover by @elzarion || | #33 in Historical Fiction on 26-8-18 | || UPDATED WEEKLY ||

In Elemental magic you can be one of four magic types; water, fire, earth, and air. The only problem is Violet is none of these things. Is she what they call a magic dud, or is she something rarer, more powerful, and more dangerous than anyone could have imagined!? Teasers, "Em, most girls sneak out for a boy, you sneak out for a unicorn." I began to cry as it reached for my face."No!" I screamed. "Please No!" I went to pull back the shower curtain, but some nagging thought in the back of my head stopped me. I didn't have a little brother, so why was there a little boy in my bathroom? I gulped and with shaking hands pulled back the shower curtain. "What!? How could that be!?" I yelled, and covered my hand with my mouth. Shouting wasn't such a good idea right at this moment. If someone heard us and came up here to investigate the noise we were making, they would find a boy and a girl, a bloody knife with both their finger prints on it, and a very very dead body. "Don't touch her!" he hissed and lunged at Henry. Running through the night wearing nothing but a flimsy hospital dress, while waving a dismembered hand in his hand, was a strangeness no regular person could hope to inspire to.

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.
