MYSTERIOR VALLEY (PART 1) THE LAST EMBER

HER FAMILY BURIED THE TRUTH. THE HOUSE KEPT IT ALIVE. Misty Alvarez has spent years pretending the strange things in her home can be explained. The locked room upstairs. The smell of smoke where nothing has burned. Footsteps in an empty hallway. A mother who goes silent whenever Misty asks about the dead. Then something in the house says her name. The truth that follows is worse than any haunting. Misty comes from an old bloodline of witches; her own power is beginning to wake, and the mark appearing on her skin is tied to secrets her family has spent years trying to contain. But whatever has awakened is no longer confined to the Alvarez house. Across Mysterior Valley, old protections are failing, buried histories are resurfacing, and forces hidden beneath the town are beginning to stir. With her friends beside her and the dead refusing to stay silent, Misty must uncover what her grandmother left behind before the darkness moving through the valley decides what she will become. In Mysterior Valley, blood remembers. And some things do not stay buried once they know your name.
