To everyone else, she was perfect.
Then she hesitated.

This is a bit of a different book, a different one to what I have written before. Thank you to anyone who reads my book, I appreciate it ~ Hannah xx P.S. this was written a long time ago, and the characters aren't very well written at all so apologies for all of that. I'd love to edit this one day, and I hope I can when I have a spare moment. Once again, thank you for reading xComplete
The Spark. Before the Flame
You are eighteen. You have friends. School. Plans for the future. And it feels like your whole life is still ahead of you. You dream of love - quiet, real. The kind that changes everything. Of the one who will someday become your other half. But sometimes life doesn't ask who you want to be. When desires suddenly turn real, when feelings break free from dreams and begin to reshape the world around you - fear follows. When fire starts to spark nearby, when dreams feel too real to ignore, and a stranger looks at you as if he knows more about you than you know about yourself - you understand: this is no coincidence. The world is preparing for a battle. Good versus evil. Light versus darkness. But what if good isn't truly good? And evil doesn't seek to destroy - but to protect? A shadow looms over your home. Or is it light? She is only a spark. But every fire begins with one. Spark. Before the Flame is a story of first love that came too early. Of choice. Of power. Of fear. And of a feeling strong enough to save the world - or burn it to the ground.Complete

#WATTYS2017 Winner - HIGHEST RANKING # 5 - DOWNTON ABBEY meets Libba Bray's THE DIVINERS in this YA Historical Fantasy set in 1922 England. Unlike all the Debutantes she knows, eighteen-year-old Vita couldn't care less about her coming out ball. Trapped in her gloomy country estate, all she wants is to spend the summer dancing to jazzy numbers in East End clubs with her best friend Izzy. Freshly returned from a year abroad, Izzy is ready for the thrill of the London Season, with its endless whirl of balls, shopping sprees and horse races. Most importantly, she's counting on Vita to help her find the rich and handsome husband every high society girl deserves. But when Vita is kidnapped and found barely alive in an East London alleyway, the carefree summer the girls had planned turns into something much stranger than they could ever have imagined. With flappers turning up dead all over the city, and Vita terrified of hybrid monsters she swears she can see lurking in Mayfair's marbled houses, Izzy can't help noticing that darkness is seeping into their lives. As Vita starts to believe she's turning into a monster herself, Izzy suspects her friend's sanity is slipping away. Both girls have to find out what's happening before they lose their friendship and status, and their crowd of Bright Young Things becomes a thing of the past. *** A Wattpad Featured Story from 16/02/17 to 25/07/17 HIGHEST RANKING: # 5 on the Wattpad Historical Hot List *** THE BRIGHT AND THE LOST Pinterest Board: http://uk.pinterest.com/emcastellan/the-bright-and-the-lost/ *** Cover designer: Amalia Chitulescu *** Copyright © 2016.
