In the first volume of "Patriots": Liza Byers is the eldest daughter of a Catholic, Boston storekeeper in 1775. Her upbringing has been unique in comparison to that of most girls. She has been educated by a French Jesuit in her home and has served as a courier to her father's friends in the Sons of Liberty. While her mother wants her to be a lady, Liza feels the call to join in the revolution in any way she can. She would much rather be riding horses and sitting in on meetings with her father's two apprentices than sipping tea and sewing on samplers. However, she soon learns what it means to be in a war. Her sheltered world is shattered by loss as the war begins, and her parents see the need to hurry her impending arranged marriage in order to secure the future of their business. Through all the tragedy, Liza must learn to use her brain, be resilient, and never cease to be a light to those who are suffering.

The Bright and the Lost
#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.

The Metaphorical Key Book II- Forge the Path
(If you haven't read the first book, stop here! Don't spoil yourself, the first book is also on my profile) The death of a friend can break a person, or reshape them. It could be the straw that broke the camel's back, or a motivator, a push in the right direction. Aiden isn't sure where he falls. All he knows is the guilt and the desire for vengeance. Maybe things could've been different if he hadn't made such a disastrous mistake. But then an opportunity arises for Aiden to learn more about his fallen comrade, to get to know him even beyond the grave. And like death, everything that follows could make or break the rebellion. Note: This story contains a subplot featuring a romance between two boys. It's presented as normal. If you have a problem with the lgbt+ community, then this isn't the book - or authour - for you. I'm a member of the community myself. Happy pride month! Spread love, not hate. <3Completa

Forgotten || A Hamilton x Schuyler!Reader Fanfiction || ✔️
If you thought Peggy was the forgotten sister, you're terribly wrong. • • • Aaron chuckled a bit as he saw (Y/N) running around with the energy everyone expected from her. Just like her older sisters, she was beautiful and selfless, with big doe eyes that seemed to show friendliness to whoever she met. Her lavender dress flattered her figure and her shiny (H/C) hair framed her face in a way that men chased after her everywhere she went. However, her most defining quality was her smarts. She loved to debate and talk politics; if she weren't a girl, Aaron bet she could've become something great. • • • Status: completed, small edits might be made as needed Rankings: 4 in #alexanderhamilton (7/30/19) 7 in #hamilton (9/29/19) 1 in #schuylersisters (9/7/19) 2 in #hamiltonxreader (10/6/19) 3 in #philiphamilton (10/6/19) 1 in #peggyschuyler (3/28/20)Completa
