Cressida Nova Reed has never had a spectacular life. Her family doesn't give her a second thought, admiring her perfect little sister. She doesn't have any friends, no one giving her a second look. 
She's just herself.
She's alone and lonely, though she prefers it. She's much more mature than most people age. She's very smart and creative. She is extremely fond of the outdoors. She can be such a sweet, caring person, but that all seems to be ignored. She's practically invisible. 
A train appears out of thin air late in the night. It captures the attention of Cressida and refuses to let go. She can't get it out of her head. One night, she's determined to find out where this train leads. She doesn't know where she's going, but she's about to find out.

Old feuds, new worlds, and a love that will last a lifetime... Ever since her dad mysteriously abandoned her family, life on the Clifton Estate hasn't been all that exciting for 16-year-old Marla True. Her Mum constantly works to make ends meet, which means Marla has to put up with gossipy old Bev keeping an eye on her and noisy little half-sister Ribbon. If that wasn't bad enough, her exam results are in... and they aren't good. But at least she has her friends. Asher, the responsible and strong boy who has known her all her life and Ed, the orphaned rebel who loves to stir up trouble. Then there's her, Marla, stubborn, fiery and just plain lost. Life on the estate is same-old same-old, until the senile World War Two veteran, Mr. Pelham, starts freaking Marla out with his staring and rambling, cryptic messages. Is he trying to warn her? Or hurt her? When the bored trio decide to teach the creepy old man it's rude to scare young girls, they learn far too late just how crucial it is to respect your elders. For his daughter, Bridget, has a power unlike anything they've ever seen before and she uses her deadly craft to send them to a place that will teach them the lesson of their lifetime. Bridget has sent them back in time, all the way to World War Two, throwing them into a secret fight for the survival of all magical folk in the world. Marla soon learns what it really means to be a True, and the power her absent father has kept from her all her life... Marla, Ed and Asher are thrown into a world they and their generation have no comprehension of, a world where love is a relic of a life left behind and your only duty is sacrificing all that you have. These three friends are about to learn about a side of World War Two that never made the history books. ***I can't take credit for the artwork, it's called A BREAK IN REALITY and it's by the AMAZINGLY talented Xenobyte on deviantart. Seriously check his stuff out. I'm in love with that imagination.***

The Smell Of Magic

30 parts Complete

Nor and her twin sister, Mady, live on an island with their mom. Every summer they attend Camp Cress on the mainland with their friends Zady and Kahlen. Weird things start happening around Nor and Mady, things that could give away their abilities. Nor encounters dark magic, spells and secrets but with the help of her friends (and powers) she just might make it through. *** "The moon was now covered by grey, ominous and eerie clouds, the distinct smell of brine and spells tickled my nostrils. The smell of magic. A smell so hard to pinpoint if you don't grow up with it. It continually followed my sister and I. We usually notice this but tonight (or this morning) it was stronger than ever." *** *warning : mild swearing*
