About this book:   Becky Hoader is totally and truly in love with her friend Mitch. The only problem is that to him she's always just been one of the gang, if that. Now with the end of her high school career coming fast she has very little time to change the situation at all, before all hope is gone.   Unfortunately Mitch love's Keeley Thomson, the new girl in school who's everything a guy could want. Thin, pretty and smart, all rolled into one perfect Mitch shaped package. It would be enough to make a girl hate her, if it weren't for the fact that Keeley is one of Becky's new best friends, and willing to do some truly outrageous things to help her get the man of her dreams.   In the end this is a story about coming of age in the modern world, dealing with the fact that adulthood hits us all, and the knowledge that love, while powerful, can sometimes be far different than what it first seems.   *Note: This is a standalone novel.   There are a lot of hidden secrets in the book that will make it fascinating to fans of the Keeley Thomson and Other Places series, and it fits in their reality, so read the book, but it's also for people that just want a good read.   Also, there is some light sexual behavior in this book.   Thanks for looking at it. Reading is always worth a bit of extra effort.  

His mind close to shattering, Tor Baker finds himself embroiled in an ancient plot that will not just change his life forever, but will fundementally alter him. This is the start of a major shift in his life, as he begins to understand just how much others have meddled in creating him and shaping the way he lived his life.

  This is the entry to a new world. It's highly recommended for anyone that wants an incredible adventure, but is adverse to being beaten personally. Tor Baker is a builder. A person that creates the magic that makes the kingdom of Noram function. At least he will be one, if his first project hasn't failed miserably, and if he manages not to be expelled from school for taking unscheduled time off to try it. What Tor doesn't know is that his innocent little project has caught the attention of some very powerful people, and the world he thought he knew his whole life, is a lie. Between his own innocence, and a world filled with royalty and power, the humble little baker's boy from the backwoods is going to have to scramble if he doesn't want it to all fall apart, or end up in the gallows for making a few simple mistakes. This is part one of the continuing series of full length novels, the Young Ancients.
