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.

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

Who will Arise? by MashBap
9 parts Complete
Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.
