[Featured by Wattpad] Alex Cabrera is new to Shadow Wood, Pennsylvania. Not that he minded moving from the Sunshine State when there's nothing there to hold him down. Not even the clingy ex-boyfriend who won't stop calling him repeatedly throughout the day. To Alex, Shadow Wood reminds him of a living Prozac commercial. Strangers smile and wave from their yards, while children blissfully run and play. The town is unmistakably beautiful, a vibrant, historical community, with a river that runs through its center. If that's not enough to catch Alex's attention, there's also the four beautiful strangers he meets at a bonfire, who will force him to question his worldview. Little does he know, a connection he shares with one of them, will alter his life forever. But not everything in Shadow Wood is as blissful and rose colored as it appears. A series of storms brewing on the horizon seem to portend something sinister is coming. And though no one wants to admit it, Alex senses it will be a battle of life or death; good versus evil. And if he's right, what price must be paid? What sacrifice must be endured? What losses must be suffered?

Elliot is, and has always been, stuck in his home town. Sure, it's a fairly large city. Sure, all his family and friends are there. Sure, he has a job he absolutely adores. But he still isn't happy. No matter how much he loves working in Auntie Mae's Tea shop, baking cakes day in and day out, he can't find it in himself to be happy. He knows exactly what's wrong; he has a dream. His dream is to one day move to Paris and open his own bakery. Baking is his passion, and he wants to devote his life to it. The only problem is that he can't seem to get away from his current life to start a new one. He once told himself his studies were holding him back. When he was done with those, he used the excuse of renovating the entire Tea Shop. Then, when he finally couldn't find any more excuses, he gave up. He knew he was waiting for something to happen. The problem? He didn't know what. But what about that man who recently started visiting the shop? He definitely wasn't one of the regulars; his face, you would recognize. He comes every evening at six o'clock, and stays for an hour. Could he be what Elliot is waiting for? *Deals with self-esteem issues which I've been told might be triggering*
