Playing in the forest behind his family's farm, the introverted thirteen-year-old Noah Thornton and his dog Chuck discover a golden chest with mysterious carvings hidden in the ground next to his favorite waterfall. More than just a buried treasure, the trunk takes Noah on a journey to a hidden realm where magic-filled indigenous tribes, known as The Twelve, still live as they have for centuries. The source of their magic is inside the very trunk Noah discovers, and the envy of the dark mystic Viruñas Wakinyan who wants nothing more than to see The Twelve destroyed. On his journey of self-discovery and exploration of this ancient world, Noah makes new, shape-shifting friends along the way as he learns the pain and suffering of those who walked the land before him. Joining the fight to help his friends and family, Noah learns secrets from the past that help him find his own strength, and his own identity. With twists and turns around every corner, THE ANCIENT WATERFALL spins a web of intricate stories over many generations. Filled with magic and mystery, tradition and treachery, the past and present collide in an extraordinary journey of fantasy and excitement. Noah's fate, the fate of The Twelve, and the fates of countless others dangle at the cascading edge of The Ancient Waterfall.

The Lost Hybrid (Completed)
I felt the bed dip as he sat down on the other side but I focused solely on my task until I was done. "This is a pillow barrier. Meaning, you don't breach this side of the pillows." I instructed, my voice firm. "What if I don't want anything between us?" Phoenix said in a husky voice, and I risked a glance. Bad choice. His eyes were dark and his gaze was on my lips, to my chest, then back to my lips. "Eyes up here, buddy." I snapped the third time his eyes went down to my chest. All he did was turn off the lights. When it was dark, he whispered," Can't I admire what is mine?" I had no answer, and turned on my side. He sighed. Despite taking two naps today, I was out cold the minute my head hit my pillow. I could only hope that in the morning, the pillow barrier was still there. ***** Adira has a secret, one she would do anything to protect.

Because in the morning, he was in the kitchen, making coffee like nothing happened. And when I wrapped my arms around him and buried my face in his back, he sighed and said, "There's my good girl."
