What if the truth you're seeking has been hidden in plain sight all along?
Eighteen-year-old Charles Clearson's life takes a bewildering turn when his father sends him to live with a pair of eccentric relatives-magicians posing as his aunt and uncle. In a quiet village brimming with secrets, Charles begins to sense an otherworldly force lingering in the air. A premonition strikes during a brief nap, pulling him into a tangled web of mystery and self-discovery.
The truth begins to unfold when Charles meets Merrill, a peculiar girl who reveals she's a Pheynarian being in disguise. But Charles, burdened by doubt, refuses to believe her. His skepticism is further challenged by Wermath Trowellian, a wizard embroiled in an age-old battle against the ruthless tyrant and dark sorcerer Zabaran. In their revelations, Charles learns he's far more extraordinary than he ever imagined.
Armed with an olisi stick and guided by cryptic clues, Charles embarks on a daring quest to find the legendary Kimono plant, a tree of immense power hidden on Earth. His journey takes him to the mystical Escria, a paradise cloaked in danger, where the sacred Woistland Keep holds ancient secrets. There, he encounters formidable guardians-the Land Ladies, the scepter-wielder, and the Vines Summoner-only to face a sinister adversary: Bohandi, the vassal of dark forces determined to shatter his resolve.
Charles must navigate a labyrinth of twisted words, arcane battles, and buried truths to claim his destiny. But in the end, will he discover the courage to embrace the power that was within him all along? Or will the darkness of Pheynar consume him?
A gripping tale of magic, self-discovery, and the fight against destiny awaits.

The Treasure of Netherstrand by theresastinnett
52 parts Complete
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? If you've enjoyed this book, please consider giving it a positive review on Amazon.com. This gives the book traction and helps other readers to find it. I really appreciate it!

A clean slate. People pray for one on occasion, some desperate individuals go to drastic measures to achieve one. I wasn't given the choice. I woke up in a foreign country alone, afraid and with no idea who I am. I was lucky. The reigning monarch of Cynthera and his family took me in, nursed me back to health. There's one problem, the Crown Prince, Emory Bryn. He's not what one would expect and the last thing I should be getting involved with. He has priorities too, his own restrictions. I'm off limits. No exceptions, no alternatives. Trying to discover my identity and navigate my new life is exhausting enough without adding a torrid love affair into the mix. He's a Prince and I, well; I'm a conflict of interest. Fighting our nature, choosing our duties over our desires and things turn hostile in a hurry. When memories of my previous life start to reveal themselves I'm torn between two worlds. The one I've created and come to love and the one filled with questions and hints of something terrifying. How do I keep my new family and return to the family of my birth? There's something dark buried deep in my mind, something I don't know if I can face. A darkness that threatens both my lives. Now I have a choice and it's one I never wanted to make. ISBN #: 978-1537187587
