The year is 1140 and civil war rages through England like wildfire. The Anarchy has brought death, despair, and terror to the masses, and to teen farm-hand Rosamund, it seems as if God and all his angels must be sleeping.
After their village is sacked and their families are ruthlessly slaughtered, Rosamund, Hereward, and Hilda flee for their lives into the black heart of the night-time marshes, but is the tale of a ravenous evil lurking beneath the mere-water just an old fishwives tale, or are they running headlong into an even graver danger?All Rights Reserved

LOT'S MOUNTAIN by NikkiEarly2

Magic, monsters, mayhem ... and high school. What could go wrong? Everything! I'm a freak, but I've got the God-given sense to know to keep it a secret that I can use magic to lose some things and to find other things. As magic goes, it totally sucks, especially since I can't control it. I couldn't use it to find my brother and save him from a serial killer. So what good is it that I can lose a shoe and find a hubcap? Some people do think I'm extra special, though. I don't know how they found out about me, but the Stone Men and their Black Dogs are after me every chance they get. It's their job to keep magic a secret and make you think the world is normal. The Glass Man's out to get me, too. He's just out to make everybody his psycho slave. There's a war coming between Stone and Glass, and I'm right in the middle. But this war isn't just about hidden magic and humans. When you're a little kid, your parents tell you that there isn't any such thing as monsters. Well, they're lying. Some monsters want to offer you a deal, and some, well, some just might end up your best friend. Others, they just want to eat you. Right now, I'm dodging homework and things trying to turn me into lunch. I'm gonna find a way out of this war and save my friends... or die trying--
