Millie Barton arrives at her grandparents' pioneer farm for the summer amidst rumours of a mysterious, bloodthirsty animal prowling the backwoods of rural Ontario.
Soon after, a waif-like boy appears at the edge of their farm field, watching Millie from behind a tree. She learns he's a British Home Child named Sam Ward, who's been hiding in the forest after escaping the scythe of an abusive farmer. Despite her better judgment, she agrees to keep his daily visits a secret while it quickly becomes apparent that the terrifying beast in the woods is now stalking her grandparents' farm specifically . . . and Sam knows far more than he's telling.

Rising Powers
(74,890 words) The wind rushed past me as my wings beat against the night sky. I noticed a copse of trees up ahead. I slowed to a stop, talons clutching a low-hanging branch. I looked beyond the trees and a pair of glowing golden eyes met my own. Wolf eyes. My eyes widened in fear as I took off. I dodged the trees in my path, but one branch snapped on my wing. My vision blurred, pain lacing through my wing. I continued to flap my wings, clinging desperately to the notion I would make it out alive. More than one wolf was chasing me, their paws a staccato on the ground. They would catch up. They would devour me. I tried to stay in the air, but the pain was unbearable. I fell to the ground, fluttering down like a dead leaf. I snapped my eyes open. Breathing heavily, I sat up. My room shifted in and out of focus as my eyes adjusted. When I was little, my father always told me that dreams were just my imagination, that people were never chased by wolves, and people certainly could never be birds. Vera Stone is a seventeen-year-old girl who lives in a small Louisiana town by the bayou. Small, boring, where nothing ever happens. Or so she and her friends think. One night the hidden darkness surrounding their town and their lives comes to the surface. Will Vera and her friends figure out the secrets hidden through their town's history before it's too late?Complete
