Charlotte, a reserved teen, discovers something wrong in her hometown. She is thrown in a battle against time to save her future from being damned into a life of trickery and power hungriness by Mages. *** Charlotte Marley, a teenager whose life is very much led by her controlling mother, discovers a whole new world within the small quaint town she grew up in. Along with some help from Mickey, her hot former friend from her oh so dramatic childhood circle (filled with mysteries of course), she quickly discovers that there is something very wrong in GoldCrest. Some of the residents are Mages. And the most powerful Mages in GoldCrest want something from the teen population of the town. That includes her. She already is out of her depth with her nerve wracking dreams that won't leave her in peace. What more does she need on her plate? Turns out, Char is also a Mage. Once she discovers her own powers, she is then thrown in a race against time to save her future from being damned into a life of trickery and power hungriness. People closest to her seem to be part of the same Mages that she doesn't want to be a part of. Who can be trusted if everyone hides behind a glamour? Everyone, this is Project GoldCrest. And Char is very determined not to let GoldCrest and its stupid Mages mess up her life. *** A little sneak peek: I snickered, trying to suppress my anger and hurt at the words she uttered. "You're very much mistaken, mother. Knowing all I do now, I know that I don't want to be as power hungry as you and those vile mage morons are!" She gave me a sad smile, that quickly turned into a resolved look. My hands trembled as I took in her calm exterior. And I knew the next words she was going to say would make me hopeless. "In this case, Charlotte, you don't really have a choice." *** Fixed updates: on Sundays, every week only 02/07/2022 - highest ranks #16 in yaromance #23 in yafantasy #18 in goddesses
