Something hides in the deepest part of the cornfields, a dark magic that should not be tampered with.But, of course, someone does.The mice Magnus, Ignatius, and Pestilence are blind, but they can see things no one else can. They knew when the servant girl came into the curio shop, and they knew they had so much to show her. Especially because she was already exposed to the terrors of the night, and she was about to experience more.The scarecrows stalk the fields at night, enchanted with a powerful magic to guard something even more powerful: A mystical being with the ability to grant wishes.Through visions of the past, present, and future, the three soothsayer mice tell the story of how a poor servant girl finds her way into a vast labyrinth and makes a wish to change her life...a wish that results in a grand transformation she never asked for: The very monster she herself used to fear. She is forced to learn to adjust in a new game of survival as outside forces to hunt her down are on the rise.There is so much more that happened before she got there, and much more that is to come. She learns to prepare, to act, and to strategize, especially with the foes that first presented themselves as friends.This mashup of a Nursery Rhyme with a classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale pays homage to their origins in a story of new twists and ominous foretelling.

The biggest secret in the Wellington house is not that they are a very wealthy family of vampires. The biggest secret is what is hiding upstairs...a fresh blood source always ready to be drained. Before Felicity married Conrad Wellington she was a struggling teenage mother, and when the family takes her in, she knows they would never do so if they knew of the irresponsible decision she had made. She hides her son Isaac away until she can think of a better solution...until she discovers that Isaac has a rare blood type that the family craves and can never find. Isaac is AB Negative, and that blood is the most delicious and nutritious of all. She makes the decision to keep Isaac hidden and raise him as a personal blood donor, collecting his blood and putting him on the best kind of diet to make sure he always provides what is good and tasteful. Yet, there are things brewing inside Isaac that might not be so good. His own poison spreads faster than anyone could see coming, developing its own taste for destruction to everyone and everything that comes in contact with him. And it feeds a part of him that enjoys it more than anyone else could.Sometimes good blood can go bad. The more Isaac grows the more this dangerous side does, and it does not want to remain locked up for long.
