A young woman becomes embroiled in both love and eldritch mystery after tragedy compels her to move to her grandmother's house on the New England coast.

?

Melody Sparks' mother always said it'd take a cataclysm to bring her back to Marblehead, Maine - but now Jennifer is dead, and 16-year-old Mel finds herself being forced to return to an ancestral home she barely remembers, and the guardianship of her cantankerous grandmother Adaline.

Yet Marblehead is more than the sleepy fishing town it pretends to be, and Mel soon becomes swept up in a secret society as old as the village itself.  Caught between childhood neighbor Ethan Bradley and Keiko Arora, a mysterious exchange student who travels with a gypsy fleet, Mel will find her strength tested to the utmost as she fights to claim her rightful place within the tight-knit community.

As cultural divides bring tensions to the brink of violence, Mel, Keiko, and Ethan must race the clock to defeat an otherwordly evil before it forever obliterates Marblehead's secrets - and with it, everything Mel could ever love.

Yet again Darkness is hungry for a war to end it all, but Light will always have troops at the ready. One girl. One kingdom. Eleven friends. Four Elements. No biggie. * I'm Melody, hybrid freak, nice to meet you, strange muggle who I know nothing about. I used to be like you, cluelessly ignorant and uninvolved with the outside world. You know, they have a big, yellow ball of gas in the sky. Weird. Anyway my life became something out of a bad Si-Fi movie, and no, Nicolas Cage isn't in it (sadly). There are two forces in the world, Light and Darkness, and when you side with Light, Darkness gets a stick up its ass and wants you to suffer. My friends and I, we roll with Light, you must know where that leads.... I have a kingdom to learn, powers to master, loud friends to keep in line, a boy that I'm messed up over, and above it all, Darkness to show whose boss. Not as easy as you might think, but this is MY story, and I know how it ends. Being a loyal follower of Light shows me the beauty in life and the devastation it can cause. Don't get me wrong, I love Light, but Darkness makes it hard to stay and fight. * Melody is weird. She's childish. She's awkward. And she's got boy issues she needs to work out. Mel will face evil like no other, but can she do it? Will the scales of Light and Darkness finally be tipped? How can one girl make a difference? This is Melody, a corky teenager, and she wants you to read her story. Like now. Enjoy! Highest rank- #69 in Fantasy (Still cant believe it!!)

The Lost Son | Ferry's Tale # 2

56 parts Complete

"People in this town are more bound to fairies than they want to admit..." These words have been haunting Ferry for the past six years. Ferry Donovan is a sixteen human-years-old fairy with an interesting life. During the day, he behaves like an ordinary youngster, spending time with his friends, doing his chores, and dreaming about a special girl. At night, he must train to become the Saviour of Akna, his fairy homeland. Everything changes when a boy comes to town, saying he is the lost son of Ferry's human-parents. Now, Ferry and his friends - both human and fae - must find out who this boy is and what are his intentions. Meanwhile, the town of Goodharts is preparing to enter the seventh year since the last vanishing into the Shepherd's Forest. But this is not the strangest of the things occurring. Over the years, Ferry has learned that the Pride Mansion hides many secrets, and they are all connected to an odd reunion of rich people called The Quest. Yet all these become somehow less important compared to Ferry's biggest concern - the girl he likes might not feel the same.
