You are about to discover the secrets of The Quick –

But first you must travel to Victorian Yorkshire, and there, on a remote country estate, meet a brother and sister alone in the world and bound by tragedy. In time, you will enter the rooms of London’s mysterious Aegolius Club – a society of some of the richest, most powerful men in fin-de-siecle England. And at some point – we cannot say when – these worlds will collide. 

It is then, and only then, that a new world emerges, one of romance, adventure and the most delicious of horrors – and the secrets of The Quick are revealed.

The Silent Shadows by Chercher246
12 parts Complete
In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.
Thalwen 's Heart by FlaviaSantana698
19 parts Ongoing
In Victorian London, where glittering ballrooms mask ancient secrets, the ruined Moore sisters seem destined for nothing but a crumbling estate and an uncertain future. Until a forgotten diary and a mysterious map-legacy of their enigmatic mother-thrust them into a perilous journey toward a truth far more extraordinary... and deadly. Pragmatic Evelyn and impulsive Eliza discover they are more than the last heirs of a fading name. They are the legendary Heart of Thalwen-a dormant power an ancient evil, known only as The Shadow, will stop at nothing to claim. Drawn into the orbit of two powerful dukes-controlled Sebastian Hale and skeptical Alistair Pembroke-the sisters find themselves entangled in reluctant protection, rising danger, and an impossible attraction. Hasty marriages may offer a shield against scandal, but ignite passions that prove just as dangerous as the enemies hunting their blood and magic. From London's gilded halls to haunted ruins and hidden portals, Evelyn and Eliza must unravel arcane prophecies, master powers they barely understand, and confront traitors hiding in plain sight. Pursued by servants of the dark and manipulated by dubious allies, they must rely not only on wit and courage, but on their unbreakable sisterhood-and the unexpected feelings blossoming in the chaos. Will love and newfound magic be enough to save them, and keep the darkness from devouring the fragile boundary between worlds? An intoxicating blend of historical romance, dark fantasy, and heart-pounding adventure-where the greatest secret lies not in Thalwen, but in the hearts of the Guardians.
