A toxic father. A mother's breaking point. An accidental power.
Juniper Scott's world is supposed to be simple. As a single, working mother in the quiet Appalachian valley of Draper's Ridge, her days are entirely consumed by the chaotic, beautiful routine of raising her two kids, rotating endless laundry, and managing a budget.
Then comes the flashpoint.
Driven by a fierce, visceral need to protect her children's hearts from a bad father, a burst of raw, unexplainable power explodes, striking him by accident and leaving her to question herself.
Suddenly, the ordinary edges of her life begin to fray as supernatural abilities manifest uncontrollably around her, and riddles from the past haunt her mind.
Desperate for answers, Juniper starts digging into her family's forgotten history. Every uncovered secret points back to a dark heritage rooted deep within the mountain soil. To keep her family safe, a regular working mom must look her history in the eye, decipher the clues of her lineage, and learn to accept a bloodline that changes everything.
Dive into Dark Whispers, the gripping first book of a slow-burn Southern Gothic fantasy series, where a mother's search for the truth uncovers a dangerous world of ancient magic.
