Pink Granite: A YA Historical Fantasy of Ancestry, Memory, and Prophecy

By: Waterfield, Carran

In the city of Brinepoint, sisters Redhair and Daffodil Friend are searching for the one thing their powerful mother refuses to give them: the truth of their ancestry. Their search leads them to a hidden vault, a worn cushion, and an ancient book-one filled not with records, but with prophecies, rituals, and the story of a forgotten time.

Through its pages, they are drawn into Core Rock, a village carved from pink granite, where quarry workers endure "the angry time"-a bitter strike against the formidable Grand Old Lord Sea Stone. There, two young girls, Sarah and Ella One Ear, are guided by their mystical great-grandmother and her prophetic text.

But when a sacred ceremony turns to tragedy at sea, the community is left broken-and the Lord offers a chilling bargain: their sons in exchange for his florins. As past and present begin to intertwine, Redhair and Daffodil Friend realise the book is not just telling a story-it is revealing their own.

Because some secrets are buried in stone for a reason.

And uncovering them may change everything.

Pink Granite, finalist in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards and winner of the BookFest Awards, is a historical fantasy exploring ancestry, prophecy, identity, and the secrets that connect generations.
