The town Dreaming is located in the middle of nothing. It was created by the Almighty God to be the only safe haven in a dangerous, ravaged world...or so the story is told. And the theocratic government of Dreaming makes sure that everyone knows that story as truth. Within the borders of the town, people are safe from the enemies on the outside: criminals, heathens, and the greatest threat of all -- unholy wielders of magic known as Manifests.
Like everyone she's ever met, Portia Carew has lived in the town Dreaming for her entire life. But as a Manifest herself, she alone understands that the myths surrounding her kind are slanderous lies, and she's begun to doubt everything else that her fellow citizens accept as absolute fact -- even as she conceals her abilities from them day after day. As she searches for the truth, she comes to discover that the answers to all of her questions may be contained within a legendary, unabridged history book known simply as the Dreaming Manifesto...if it even exists, that is.
Portia is certain that it's real, but the trouble is, getting to it would require a miracle. It's a shame that she doesn't believe in miracles anymore...

Unbound Relic
They chained her underground for a thousand years. Waking up was never part of the plan. She was the kingdom of Aethermoor's most dangerous secret-a girl with power so catastrophic that the Seven Throne Council chose eternal imprisonment over execution. Bound in unbreakable chains and sealed beneath cursed earth, her name was erased from history. For a thousand years, she slept in darkness. Then she woke up in a high school classroom. The chains are gone. Her magical world is gone. Instead, she finds herself trapped in the body of Ione Castellan, a seventeen-year-old loner who died four days ago. The face staring back at her in the mirror is foreign-soft ash-gray hair and gentle doe-like eyes in a striking jeweled lilac shade. This fragile body feels nothing like the warrior she once was. This world has no magic. But it has something worse: monsters that look human. Through Ione's fractured memories, she learns about Ashcroft-a city drowning in unsolved murders and serial killings. Bodies appear in alleyways carved with symbols she recognizes. Ancient symbols. From her world. Navigating high school is bewildering enough-what is "Wi-Fi"? Why do people stare at glowing rectangles all day?-but her old powers are awakening, causing lights to flicker and electronics to explode when her emotions spike. Worse, she's seeing things others can't: shadows that move with intent, and runes that shouldn't exist in this magic-less world. In a city of serial killers and ancient magic, the girl who should have stayed buried might be the only one who can stop what's coming.
Complicated
She wakes up in a cage cold and confused. She refuses to show any weakness in this strange new place; she shoves everything down, deep down behind a mask of indifference snippy remarks and a few right hooks. She wont let these new and strange boys see her cry, she wont show them any signs of weakness. She can't, she's the only girl and she needs to be tough. It's the only way to survive this harsh new world she finds herself in. Being tough and ruthless catches the attention of one particular builder. He's not one for emotions either, especially in a place like the Glade. He knows something is off, and he does his absolute best to keep order around him and in him, when everything's falls apart. Are these two destined to be together? Or are they too similar in personalities? Are they too broken from their own traumas to work it out? Maybe she likes him. Kind of. Maybe he might like her. She probably hates him. He can't stand her. They don't want the other to know. But maybe they do...a little. Who has time for romance and feelings in a place like The Maze. Life. Romance. Friendships. Emotions. It's all just so... Complicated. **MATURE SUBJECT MATTER- VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED**Complete

Her voice sounds so harsh, yet soft. Her striking blue eyes analysing my every move, blood red lips moving as she talks to the people around me. She smirks at me, porcelain white teeth showing from under her rouged lips. My vision becomes blurred, and my memory begins to fade. Those three words echo throughout my mind as my eyes close. I awake with a gasp - I rack my mind for answers. Simple things come to my mind, like: eating a hotdog, climbing a tree, holding someone's hand. But the face of the person, who was holding my hand, is blurred - like they were erased from existence. Why can't I remember anything? Where am I? What is my name? Where does this thing lead me?

With a burning feeling
For one to inhabit oddities that are truly beyond normalcy, the town has been surprisingly peaceful for many centuries. However, behind the tranquility that seemed to encase the place, there lie intense rules that are forever ingrained by all townsfolk within their hearts and mind. Though it is not the town itself that was odd; but the territory just next to them. Vast and eerie, full of creatures of the unknown, and home to a being so powerful who was feared by all and remembered even by the youngest of children there was. The forest is not to be disturbed. The rules were simple. No one is to be allowed to enter, even taking a daring mere inch of a step, in the forest. NO. ENTRY. This is what has been placed when people take sightings of the large and wide forest. A warning that implies extreme danger due to the number of signs there are in one area. For there is a creature that lies beyond the forest. So dangerous and so terrifying, it could scorch the world with its flames. It's not a dragon. It's not a beastly monster. Not even a giant or a devil. But a god. A sun god. And the sun god's abode was the forest. And he is there for a reason.Complete
