The Lantern on the Hill

By Ronald Veach

A light appears on the hill after dark. No one can explain who carries it-or why.

Behind Aunt Tina's house, sisters Ezra and Isolde have made a headquarters of the Roost, an old garage filled with their grandmother's maps, notes, and unfinished questions. When a boy reports a mysterious light near a forgotten cemetery, they decide to investigate.

Ezra can read a trail in the woods. Isolde can turn scattered accounts into a timeline. Together, they follow the sightings across Riley Creek and up the overgrown hill, where the dates on the gravestones suggest a pattern. But the creek can rise without warning, and the person visiting those graves may have reasons of his own for keeping quiet.

Solving the mystery of the lantern will take more than finding who carries it. It will make the sisters look again at the history their grandmother left behind-and at a question waiting for them in the Roost.

The Lantern on the Hill is Book One of The Roost Files, a mystery series about two sisters, forgotten histories, and the clues that connect them.
