All ten-year-old Copernicus wants is to belong somewhere and to feel loved. But as an apprentice in Victorian-era London, love is as scarce as joy. Both he and his master's teenage son, Charles Hannover, dream of escaping the hot bakery where they slave away in the dark of night. When Copernicus meets Mordechai Dross, a charming magician who promises to make him his own son, the lad believes that he has found his way of escape. Will his dream last? Or will he find himself slipping into a nightmare?

The Angel's Devil [boyxboy]
Mikaelis Lumos autem coelus Deavus, an angel who is suppose to be the next heir of Coelus Divada, the kingdom of the holy folk and all of that. Seems pretty nice, right? Not for Mika. He has absolutely no intention on being a King before even having the chance to experience what life really is like. So of course what does he do? He runs away, wanting to live his life the way he wants to. Therefore, he insists on going to a place that happened to be an academy for individuals just like him and plans to get to know people, get a little taste of the real life before having to return back to his duties. Though, the longer he stays, the more the thought of returning decreases. And the mere cause for that is no one else but, of course, the Demon and Ruthifa's son himself: Reiji Ignil. _____________________ I just had to add a little fantasy to my own bxb collection this time.

Witching Hour
Before moving to Maile, life was simple. Obey the school rules and you don't get expelled. Don't get expelled and your parents don't send you to live with your Uncle. Don't live with your Uncle and you don't discover your entire maternal family, including your mother, are sorcerers... all except you. After moving to Maile, things got a lot more complicated. Lacking any magic of my own, I was left with one gift - the ability to see a world hidden from ordinary humans. But there's a reason it is called the Curse of Sight; some things are better left unseen. At first, it was fun. Meddling with ancient legends, uncovering dangerous secrets, developing a crush on a supernatural. However, when things begin to spiral downhill, to the point everything you know and love is in jeopardy, it becomes a matter of life and death. |Cover Credit: PittieLau| |DeviantArt: pittieslau|Complete

The Treasure of Netherstrand
A legendary poem whispers words of mystery about a long-hidden treasure in Netherstrand Hall: an extravagant resort in Victorian North Devon. That's why Charles Hannover bought the castle in the first place. Money is foremost on his mind as he watches the sightseers pour in to visit his estate. Too caught up in business to think of searching for the treasure, he has every reason to hope for riches as the owner of such an attraction. But when Hannover hires a scamp as his errand boy, everything in his life begins to change. Breaking into Hannover's gloomy life, Timothy becomes a mystery almost as deep to Hannover as the legend of the treasure itself. What keeps joy shining in the child's eyes? What makes life so delightful to him? As time goes on, Hannover has to wonder if this penniless waif has what his heart has always secretly craved: the riches of a soul which is full of the peace and joy of God. And, when Timothy begins finding old riddles throughout the castle, could it be that this plucky boy is the only one capable of solving Netherstrand's mystery? Teaming up, the miserly businessman and his sunny-natured errand boy delve into the depths of the castle's secrets. But there are footsteps in the shadows; and unnerving scenarios make Hannover fear that they aren't the only ones getting close to finding the treasure. As he races to solve the mystery before any other hand can touch his treasure, Hannover finds himself gaining a far greater prize than money. And as Timothy's nature and zeal for Christ draws his heart, he finds himself longing for much more than silver or gold. The question is, will he find what he's really searching for?
