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.

The Lost Son | Ferry's Tale # 2
"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.Complete![Blooming Blue [Pearl x Fem reader]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/319476696-256-k584370.jpg)
