Sleepy Hollow is a strange town, but that is to be expected. The only reason the town exists is because of a ghost story. Of course, everyone knows the legend of the Headless Horseman. Or, at least they thought they did. As it is with all fiction, there is always a little bit of truth in those stories. There was an Ichabod Crane, an Abraham Van Brunt, and of course, a Katrina Van Tassel. There was also a devious prank, but other than that, it was all made up. Too bad not everyone understood, that just because some of it was true, not all of it was.
Tessa Crane, a descendant of the same Ichabod Crane that made her hometown famous, thought she knew the story, the real story anyway. It was her history after all. However, everything changes one fateful Halloween night. Tessa and Abraham "Ander" Van Brunt the Seventh, Tessa's rival and least favorite person, have no choice but to work together when they become targets of the Headless Horseman himself. It's a race against time to discover the truth of what happened between their families all those years ago. Will they defeat the Headless Horseman in time or will they both lose their heads?
Every home is supposed to be safe.
A place of security to create and keep memories.
It's the people inside that make it a home.
I live with my grandparents and it's always been the perfect little place. Until a deranged masked woman broke into my home and threatened my life.
It was how I found out my only friend Liu had been keeping disturbing secrets from me.
I was told it was for the best to live with him and his 'friends' for a while until the problem was solved, so my grandparents and myself will be safe.
...I'm not used to them and I don't think they'll ever be used to me...it's going to be tough...how could my life flip completely upside down just from one night? Everything was fine until that night!
Well...it was never fine... but now I have to adjust to this risky new life and hope I don't make them my enemies for when this is over.

NOTE: You won't be happy and in love in the first five chapters. I want to take my time with this story and grow a realistic process of befriending these kind of characters from somewhat realistic expectations.
It's quite serious yet full of comedy and action at the same time!
