Never make a deal with a fae, they say. But sometimes there’s no choice, consequences be damned. As daughters of the Amadis royal family, my twin Brielle and I should have been helping our people rebuild civilization after the War of Armageddon. Instead, our mother does the unthinkable, possibly sparking a new war, and we’re whisked away to another realm to hide us from our enemies. When we return home, we discover our parents are missing, our people have scattered, and every faction hunts the Knight twins. Some are obsessed with claiming our formidable power for themselves. Others simply want us dead. Still, I can’t believe we’re home for less than a day when I end up as Winter Court’s prisoner in Faery. And it only gets worse from there. To protect my sister, I’ve made a deal with a fae that shatters any hopes for my own future. A dark prince ignites something in me that feels all wrong and oh, so right. And then there’s the enchanting princess I ache for . . . yet can never have. Foes become allies, friends become traitors, and one truth emerges with clarity: war is imminent. My only hope to protect everyone I love is to harness the dark power within me—a force that can save worlds or annihilate us all. If I fail to control it, someone else will. But to master it, I must face my most daunting opponent yet—myself.

So when a stranger appears on her doorstep with a job offer, she finds herself accepting the mysterious yet unique position: caretaker to his mother, Amaris Sinclair, the famous and rather eccentric horror novelist whom Julia has always admired . . . and who the world believes is dead. When she arrives at the Sinclairs' enormous estate on Lake Superior, Julia begins to suspect that there may be sinister undercurrents to her "too-good-to-be-true" position. As Julia delves into the reasons of why Amaris chose to abandon her successful writing career and withdraw from the public eye, her search leads to unsettling connections to her own family tree, making her wonder why she really was invited to Havenwood in the first place, and what monstrous secrets are still held prisoner within its walls.

When the Dead Speak What if the comfort of hearing from your loved ones after they've passed was a cruel illusion, a carefully orchestrated manipulation designed to sow discord and destroy a community from within? In the idyllic town of Havenwood, a quiet peace is shattered when residents begin receiving text messages from their deceased loved ones. Initially greeted with disbelief and then a fragile hope, these messages soon stir a storm of emotion, rekindling old wounds and questioning the very fabric of their community. Reverend Sam Bennet, still grappling with the loss of his wife Sarah, is among those who receive a message. The voice is unmistakably hers, but the content feels too personal, too eerily familiar. He's not alone. Esther Hawkins, mourning the loss of her dear friend Martha, receives a message referencing a shared quilt, a poignant memory forever etched in her heart. As the messages spread, a sense of unease and suspicion begins to grip the town. Whispers of a haunting phenomenon turn into a desperate search for answers. Enter Samantha, a local tech wiz with a sharp mind and a knack for decoding digital mysteries. She uncovers a chilling truth – the messages are not supernatural, but a calculated manipulation orchestrated by Paul Davies, the quiet owner of the local tech repair shop. Paul, fueled by a complex mix of personal demons and a shadowy organization known as "The Shepherd," has been exploiting the town's grief for an insidious purpose: to destabilize Havenwood from within. Driven by a shared desire to protect their community and expose the truth, Reverend Sam, Samantha, and Esther embark on a perilous journey, confronting Paul and unmasking the Shepherd's network. They find themselves in a race against time, battling a technologically sophisticated foe that threatens to unravel the very foundations of their way of life. As the investigation deepens, the lines between reality and illusion blur. The truth, they discover, is far more chilling than any ghost story. The Shepherd's motives are chilling, their reach vast, and their methods a terrifying blend of deception, social manipulation, and a relentless hunger for power. Can Havenwood reclaim its lost innocence? Can they heal the wounds inflicted by a digital conspiracy that preys on their vulnerabilities? Or will The Shepherd's sinister plan unravel their community from within, leaving them forever scarred by the ghosts of their past?

In the heart of Havenwood, a picturesque little town where the streets are lined with quaint cottages and ancient trees, secrets lurk behind every creaking door and shadowy alley. Despite its outward charm, Havenwood is a place where the past never truly stays buried, and the unusual often goes unnoticed—except by a group of young, sharp-eyed detectives who call themselves "The Seekers." These intrepid children, each with their own unique talents and quirks, have a remarkable gift for uncovering the mysteries that baffle even the most experienced adults. While others might be content with the simple joys of childhood, The Seekers are drawn to the thrill of the unknown, always on the lookout for the next puzzle to solve. Whether it’s a hidden message in a forgotten book or a strange figure seen only in the moonlight, nothing escapes their notice. Their latest adventure, however, would prove to be more challenging than anything they had faced before. A shocking crime has rocked the peaceful community of Havenwood, leaving everyone on edge. The townspeople whisper in hushed tones, fearing the unknown as rumors spread like wildfire. It’s a mystery that defies logic, with clues that seem to lead nowhere, and an urgency that presses upon The Seekers to solve it before it’s too late. As they delve deeper into the investigation, The Seekers begin to realize that this case is unlike any other. The stakes are higher, the danger more real, and the line between friend and foe blurrier than ever. But with each twist and turn, they also learn valuable lessons about trust, loyalty, and the true meaning of bravery. For in Havenwood, courage isn't measured by size or age, but by the willingness to stand by your friends when the world seems darkest. The closer The Seekers get to the truth, the more they understand that the greatest mysteries aren't just about catching a culprit—they're about understanding the people around you, and the secrets that bind a community together. In the end, they discover that friendship is the strongest clue of all, leading them to a conclusion that will change Havenwood forever. Welcome to a world where the smallest sleuths tackle the biggest mysteries with heart and determination. Welcome to "The Seekers," where adventure, danger, and the bonds of friendship intertwine in a story you won't soon forget.
