Cara Williams has always been, well, unlucky, to put it lightly.
Her parents divorced when she was only 5 years old, after her father failed to pay off his debt he was already in when her mom and him married.
Cara has also never been the "popular" type, burying her nose into books instead of drama. Despite being very athletic, nobody pays any attention to her at school, and frankly, not at home either. With your mom working night shifts and always being hungover, how are you expected to get any attention?
To fulfill her extra time, Cara has turned to training her mini pony Oreo, the only possession she has left from her dad, and the only one who seems to care.
One day, while fetching the mail, Cara finds an old envelope in her mailbox addressed to her. Inside, she finds a letter written by someone who seems to have their own share of problems. The writer remains anonymous, but gives Cara something to think about. Who is the writer, and will Cara ever know?
Or will she only wonder?

The Tall Tales of Daphne Monroe
Daphne Monroe believed her life had taken a turn for the worst when her mother passed away three years ago. But she was wrong, as nothing could have prepared her for her father's mad decision to buy a run down old pub in some seaside village an hour or so from London, taking her younger brother and their crazy Granddad Tony who still believes he is in the war, though Daphne has no idea which one, and Daphne away from their childhood home and changing her life forever. Daphne also suddenly finds herself attending an elite boarding school as a day timer, courtesy of the maternal grandparents she has never met. There she meets Eddie, Fiona, Alex and Jade, four teenagers who will quickly become her closest friends and her guides to the world she had found herself fallen into. A world where house parties are held in country manors, teachers all have pompous public school nicknames and the students have helicopters to run them around at the weekends. It's a world where Princes and royalty are not just main figures in tabloids and imagination, but actual students alongside Daphne and her friends. And there is one in particular who has caught the eye of Daphne Monroe, Prince Théo from the year above. Swoon worthy, indeed.

That was until her senior year had started.. ~♦~ Monsters are just everywhere, Only a few people are trustworthy. Would you be my savior if I'm lost there?

I need the light, I need a guide, I'll do things with all my might, Smiling is hard, life's not so "cute", You scream and yet, the screams are mute, When lies, evil and mistakes take all the love away...

Mount Haven
Prologue: The Letter That day went like any other. I parked my mom's old Ford Escape in the driveway. I had just gotten off work, and it was my last day. Before I walked into the house, I grabbed the mail. A cool breeze whipped past me. I began to look through the mail, like routine and headed inside. There was a cream-colored envelope with big blocky letters saying "Arielle Lancaster." Which would be acceptable only if it wasn't from a place I've never heard of before. "Mount Haven"... might be a scam. Right? The lettering looks like something from the government. Curiosity washed over me, and I opened it. I walked inside to see my parents were gone. I shrugged it off and headed to my room. My eyes began to skim the letter. "To the next of kin of Leah Fletcher," The letter began. Who is that? My eyes jumped to the next thing to catch my eye. "You now fully own 1582 Everest Drive, Mount Haven, Maine. You will need to come and take care of this property." My eyes then jumped to the bottom of the letter. "If you have any questions, please contact me at 723-356-7891." I grabbed my phone. My body began to shake. "Hello?"I asked.Complete
