After being betrayed by his brother for power, Robin must team up with new friends to free the sorceress he has fallen in love with and fight for the new life he has found true joy in. ------------------------------- "I'm looking for a sorceress."

And a voice in the back of my head told me that I shouldn't have come." - Five friends head to a remote cabin for a carefree spring break: no parents, no rules, no problems. However, all five of them have secrets, some more deadly than others. And when they arrive at the cabin, things feel...off. Time moves strangly, they have unsettling visions, and soon, they all start feeling a sense of déjà vu. As paranoia kicks in and their own secrets come out, the group of friends start to question what's really going on. Is it the cabin, or is it them?

Das Cover wurde von @ozeanwellen erstellt. Um das Herrenhaus von Dunkelmoor ranken sich viele Legenden, eine schauriger als die andere. Hinter vorgehaltener Hand wird gemunkelt, dass das Haus seinen eigenen Willen besitzt. Aber Legenden sind in der Regel nur Legenden, oder etwa nicht? Drei mutige Freundinnen werden auf jeden Fall um ihr Leben kämpfen müssen, wenn sie das Abenteuer ihres Lebens überleben wollen. Aber eines steht so weit fest. Die Wahrheit, so tief man sie auch verschüttet glaubt, lässt sich niemals für alle Zeiten begraben. Es mag vielleicht Jahre, Jahrzehnte oder gar Jahrhunderte dauern, jene zu befreien, aber irgendwann rollen einmal die Würfel des Schicksals. ------------------------- "Raus aus den Federn, wir müssen jetzt eine Leiche ausbuddeln!" -Victoria Schubert, auf der Suche nach der Wahrheit © by lifeofme14977

[WATTYS 2022 GRAND PRIZE WINNER] ** Die perfekte erste Mission für zwei unerfahrene Sucher: Ein kleines Dorf inmitten finsterer Wälder. Dunkle Geheimnisse. Grausame Todesfälle und rätselhafte Ereignisse. Kyle Crowford ist selbsternannter Meister der Arkanen Künste, leidet an einem viel zu großem Ego und sein Partner Dr. Archer besitzt einen geladenen Revolver. Was kann da schon schiefgehen? ** „Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur. Die Welt will betrogen sein; werde sie also betrogen!" - Motto des Ordens der Sucher - London 1898. Wo Geisteranrufungen so normal geworden sind, wie Cricket und Tennis, verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen Fantasie und Realität. In der feinen Gesellschaft gehört Okkultismus und eine Zugehörigkeit zu 'geheimen' Logen zur aktuellsten Mode. Eine besonders exklusive Gruppierung dieser Art, ist der Orden der Sucher, welcher sich der Erforschung, Geheimhaltung und Vertuschung übernatürlicher Ereignisse verschrieben hat. Kyle Crowford und Dr. Benjamin Archer sind Frischlinge im Orden, haben ihren Initiationsritus gerade hinter sich und brennen voller Tatendrang auf ihre erste Mission... bis sie erfahren, dass jene sie in ein abgelegenes Kaff mitten in Dartmoor führt. In einer Welt jenseits des Offensichtlichen, in der Magie die Realität verbiegen kann und Alpträume Wirklichkeit werden, müssen sich die Agenten den Rätseln um die geheimnisvollen Todesfälle stellen - im Idealfall, ohne selbst die nächsten Opfer zu werden. Denn neben ihren eigenen Geheimnissen, lauern unerwartet finstere Abgründe in St. George. *** WATTYS 2022 GRAND PRIZE GEWINNER EDITORS PICK APRIL 2023 TOP 25 WATTPAD HISTORICAL AWARDS 18 x WATTPAD FEATURED 🥇 1.Platz Blue Pegasus🐎Award 2022 - Übernatürliches 🥇 1.Platz Regenbogen🌈Award - Mystery 🥇 1.Platz Schneeflocken❄Award 2022 - Mystery 🥇 1.Platz Voxes Summer Award🦊"Bester Klappentext"

Lillian Smith, the shy, quiet, nerdy girl, gets transferred to the most prestigious high school in her town, West Hills High, on a scholarship in her junior year. She spends half of her year hiding from the rich kids at her school to prevent any trouble. But one accidental encounter at the library with the popular bad boy of her high school changes things for her. One little secret leads to another until Lillian gets stuck with the secrets of the popular group, The Clichés. The burden of the secrets becomes heavy, and Lillian doesn't know what to do with them anymore. ~•~•~•~•~•~ "What's your name?" "Lillian... Lillian Smith." "Okay, Lillian, so this is what going to happen next." He crossed his arms. "I'm going to let you go and you-" he held his finger at me, "- will tell no one about this." I bobbed my head. "And if I hear even a single word uttering from your mouth about us..." He gestured between him and Toby. "I will-" "- Kill you." I finished for him and give him a thumbs up. "Got it." "Then it's settled!" Toby announced, clasping his hands and beamed.
