A spine-tingling new fantasy, perfect for adults or teens who enjoyed Harry Potter...
What would you do if you spotted a man following a young woman, but no-one else could see him?
Like most sane people, student Alex Webber thought he was hallucinating - perhaps he'd consumed something bad at the party he'd been attending that night, or he was severely overtired. But when he sees the mysterious man following Natalie again the very next day, he can no longer disbelieve his eyes.
Although Natalie denies the man's existence, Alex sees her walking with him down a road in his neighborhood he's never seen before - and can't help but follow. After a bizarre, but strangely short journey, he finds himself standing before a towering iron gate wreathed in gray ivy, behind which looms a decrepit old mansion named Spellshadow Manor.
Spellshadow, with its beautiful yet sinisterly decorated hallways, ever-changing outdoor scenery and very unusual residents... Alex will quickly learn it is a place that is as wondrous as it is deadly.
Especially for a normal person like him.
What if you found yourself recruited to an institute of magic, only to discover you really couldn't do magic?
What if your enrollment there was all one big, terrible mistake?
If you were at Spellshadow, you'd keep it a secret. A deep, dark, deadly secret...
Because Spellshadow's elusive Head is hiding a secret of his own, one that Alex soon realizes he and Natalie must uncover at all costs if either of them wishes to leave the Manor alive... and before it's too late.
Mystery, suspense, and oodles of twists and turns; an unforgettable experience awaits you in Spellshadow Manor... Welcome in. Views: 306

CHAPTER I GLORIOUS NEWS "Hello, there, Red Rover! Come alongside!" "What\'s the row, fellows? This dandy breeze is too good to be wasted loafing." "Frank\'s coming in the Jupiter, and coming like a streak!" "Yes, and more than that, Bluff, he waves his hat as though he had great news!" Will Milton and Jerry Wallington sat in the double canoe, that with flapping sails pointed its stem into the wind; while their chum, Richard Masters, known among all his schoolmates as Bluff, manipulated the dainty fifteen-foot cedar craft in which he had been speeding over the surface of Camalot Lake. Another midget boat, constructed on the same lines as that in which Bluff was seated, came flying down before the wind, and presently brought up alongside the other craft. It contained a single young fellow, upon whose frank and open face rested a broad smile that seemed to prophesy pleasing news. "What makes you look so happy, Frank? Evidently you\'ve heard that your examination papers were up to the standard, and it\'s college next year for yours," remarked Bluff with eagerness, and, it must be confessed, a tinge of envy in his quivering voice. "Right for you! But that is only the beginning of my news!" cried Frank Langdon as he reached out and caught Jerry by the arm. "Am I in it?" demanded that worthy, seeming to catch his breath. "Well, I should say you were, and with even better honors than poor me. Now, the rest of you fellows, don\'t look that way. It\'s all right, I tell you," went on the bearer of news, trying to control his own voice, but succeeding only a little better than Jerry. "Say! do you mean it? Did Bluff and I get through, after all?" exclaimed Will. Frank nodded his head enthusiastically. "Careful, now, you wild Indians! Just remember that you\'re in canoes that can be upset easily, and unless you want a ducking out in the middle of the lake, restrain your enthusiasm a bit, please. It isn\'t the easiest thing in the world, climbing over the stern of a canoe with all your clothes on," he warned them. "But is it really true?" pleaded Will. "Have I crawled through decently? Well, I\'m glad; not only because it will keep four chums together a while longer, in college, but my mother has set her heart on this thing. Yes, I\'m mighty well pleased." Will\'s mother was a rich widow, and as he had only a twin sister, Violet, for whom Frank entertained a pronounced liking, the two were more than ordinarily dear to Mrs. Milton. "Well, fellows, let\'s give one mighty cheer because of our good fortune," said Jerry, his face beaming with delight; for the chums were very fond of each other, and had a single one been left behind on the following year, when the college term opened, there would have been many a keen regret. "Hip, hip, hurrah! Hurrah! hurrah! Tiger!" No doubt, many persons ashore, who heard that lusty shout come ringing over the clear water of the beautiful little lake on which the town of Centerville was located, wondered what the burst of enthusiasm meant. But then they knew these four boys were built along the right lines, and that while they loved the whole outdoors, with its attendant exciting times, never had they been known to indulge in mean pranks....
