Young Adult Mystery / ThrillerOur School Has One Secret Rule
At Wrenhollow, there is one rule every student learns quickly: when the bell rings thirteen times, stay inside and pretend you heard nothing. Maren Cole did not come to the isolated boarding school to obey. Two years earlier, her sister Josie left Wrenhollow terrified, silent, and unable to explain what happened the night she nearly drowned. Now Maren has earned a place at the same school, determined to uncover the truth. But Wrenhollow protects its secrets carefully. Black feathers appear as warnings. Students disappear after midnight. A hidden society called the Wrens controls reputations, scholarships, families, and futures through a mysterious Book of Names. And Rhys Harrow, the powerful boy who keeps appearing whenever the tide turns dangerous, seems to know far more about Josie's past than he will admit. The deeper Maren investigates, the harder it becomes to tell who is protecting her and who is preparing her for the same fate as her sister. Because at Wrenhollow, secrets are not simply kept. They are enforced. And when Maren finally learns why Rhys was standing on the sandbar the night Josie almost died, the truth will change everything she thought she knew about him, the school, and the rule nobody has dared to break.
