Lucas Stone steps into the heart of the trouble with more on his shoulders than just a new badge.

The silver star pinned to his coat catches the morning light too bright, too clean for a place like Raven Hollow, where nothing stays untouched for long. It stands out against him in a way that feels temporary, as though the shine will dull soon enough. The weight behind it, however, already has. It settles into him easily, familiar in a way that has nothing to do with the metal itself.

  • Raven Hollow Mysteries: Moonbound Secrets   INTRODUCTION

    Raven Hollow sits tucked into its valley, the kind of place you remember more by feeling than by fact. The town never quite settles into one season or the next. Most mornings, the mist hangs thick before sunrise and lingers long after, curling around rooftops and slipping through the narrow streets. The woods at the edge of town always look a little blurred, like they’re hiding something. Folks say there’s old magic here, but not in the storybook sense. It’s in the dirt, in the slow bend of the river, in the way some doors never shut right. People talk about it in bits and pieces over coffee, or pass quiet warnings to their neighbors. Sometimes, when the wind shifts, the whole town seems to hold its breath.Evelyn Blackwood knows what it’s like to be watched. Her shop, Blackwood Botanicals, sits on Main Street, smelling of dried lavender and rosemary, with something sharper underneath. People come for her remedies, but they don’t linger. She’s learned the rhythm of their suspicion, th

  • Raven Hollow Mysteries: Moonbound Secrets   CHAPTER 1 The Vanishing Relics

    Morning drifts in slowly over Raven Hollow. At her cozy kitchen table, Evalyn Blackwood wraps both hands around her mug, feeling the heat slip away before she remembers to take a sip. The air sits heavy, the sort that settles in your chest and leaves your coffee resting on the table. Through the window, she watches mist cling to the cobblestones, stubborn and slow to lift, even as sunlight tries to find its way over the hills. The chapel bells mark the hour, but their sound is quieter than usual, softened by the hush that has spread over town.By now, the market square ought to be alive with voices, laughter, the smell of bread warm from the oven. Today it sits quiet, as if everyone is waiting for something they can’t name. The baker’s ovens still burn, but even the fragrance of cinnamon and yeast can’t quite mask the anxiety drifting through the streets. Merchants stand behind their stalls, fussing with apples and carrots, but hardly anyone stops to buy. Conversations flicker and fad

  • Raven Hollow Mysteries: Moonbound Secrets   CHAPTER 2 Evelyn Becomes a Suspect

    By the time the council meeting lets out, folks are already whispering Evelyn Blackwood’s name.In Raven Hollow, suspicion has always traveled faster than truth, and Evelyn has spent her entire life learning what that means.She’s thirty-two now, one of the last Blackwoods left in Raven Hollow. The family’s been here longer than the oldest trees, and that history clings to her whether she wants it or not. You can see it in the way she moves quietly, careful, always aware of eyes that linger a little too long.Something about her unsettles the sense of time. She’s tall, quiet, never one to draw attention, but somehow you notice her anyway. Her hair is chestnut, usually pulled back in a loose braid for work, though a few strands always slip free. If the light catches just right, you might spot a glint of silver easy to miss, never spoken of.Her eyes are what most people remember.They’re a deep green, flecked with gold, and seem to change if you look too long. Some folks say there’s wa
