There is no night in the Everburning City. There can never be. ***** For four hundred years the Everburning City has withstood the advance of the life-strangling fog known as the Gloam. Its walls have held back five invasions, but on the eve of the sixth, the city's inhabitants know things have changed. Golems are coming out of the mist, and the bodies of the dead are rising at the Gloam's bidding. The city's last and most desperate line of defence comes in the form of the Crafters, individuals who can channel the power of fire, though they risk their sanity each time they do. The brightest of these valiant heroes are Tabitha a'Loria and her apprentice Gerald Reath. Risking their lives, they mount their airships, determined to save the last bastion of humanity - the Everburning City. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

Fallon Avery was known as the Queen Pirate of Teramir. At the age of twenty she had conquered the seas that swelled between the Known Lands. Her ruthlessness was legendary, as was her beauty - or so the whispers of those whom she spared from death revealed. But what should the Queen Pirate of Teramir do, when all the Known Seas were in her grasp and no one dared challenge her? She sails south to the unknown, where no sailor or pirate has ever ventured, or at least ever returned. Dare she push the boundaries of the sea? What did she have to lose? After a bitter farewell to his father in a noble sailor's burial, Demetrius Jones, vowed to disappear from Hath'eruil, his hometown, forever. With nothing anchoring him to the small fishing town he arms himself with navigating tools, notebooks and a lifetime dream of sailing the Known Seas. As Demetrius joins a crew and sets off to the watery world he wonders to himself: What could go wrong? As the fate of both Fallon and Demetrius intertwine, they enter a world that neither had ever imagined possible - a world where legend, myth, nightmares and dreams twist together. Was it possible to escape this world? Dared they even try? Could Fallon and Demetrius put aside their differences to find out?

❇️ 2018 WATTYS WINNER! The Originals category ❇️ - "The Breakfast Club" meets "Nancy Drew" in this most unusual YA Mystery. SUMMARY: Five high school students, with little in common other than being descendants of the town founders, are forced to work on a history project together. But when their history project uncovers evidence of a long-buried town secret, the kids must piece together the clues behind their discovery before its legacy comes back to haunt them. ***** Using ACTUAL, archival material (some dating as far back as 1776), The Descendants weaves a tale of mystery and intrigue, constructed entirely from real photographs, documents, and snippets of history from a small, rural town in New Hampshire. What Dan Brown did with conspiracy theories in "The DaVinci Code" and Ransom Riggs did with historical photographs in "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," I will attempt to do in "The Descendants," but with teen protagonists and the Cheshire County Historical Society. :-) Why? 'Cause I'm crazy like that! Yeah, I know...History?! Blah! But it actually turned out really fun! :-)
