1. Nightfall

The pre-teen hero of this adventurous fantasy story is a girl who has no idea she is being raised in our world to keep her safe from The Count and his devious plots. She finds herself quite unexpectedly falling into another world, in which she is reunited with her Mother from her earliest memories, and a younger brother she had no idea existed. It would be a fabulous homecoming...except the Palace is under attack, and for some reason everyone thinks SHE has come to straighten everything out. But Silvia soon discovers that her way with words is a form of power and that, by composing the right verses, she can actually work magic.
