The Locked Room
The Locked Room (Book Two of The Blackthorn House Chronicles)
Sarah and Ryan Whitfield have been at Blackthorn House long enough to think they understand it. They know the creak of the third stair. They know which rooms feel warm and which ones feel wrong. They know Mateo and Lucia Alvarez now, not as strangers who showed up the same week they did, but as family, the kind you choose instead of the kind you're born into.
What none of them know is what's behind the door at the end of the east hall.
It's been sealed for as long as anyone can remember, and Ms. Ferro has never once explained why. But now that the four of them have started paying closer attention to the house, and to each other, the house has started paying attention back. Sarah's early-warning sense keeps snagging on that hallway. Mateo feels something calling to him through the wall. And when Lucia finally gets close enough to touch what's on the other side, what she sees isn't a threat.
It's a memory. And it belongs to someone the four of them are only beginning to understand.
As the kids dig deeper, they uncover a thread tangled directly into Ms. Ferro's own family history, one she's spent years trying to keep buried along with everything else in that room. The closer they get to the truth, the clearer it becomes that some locked doors were never built to keep people out.
They were built to keep something safe.
With sharper stakes, deeper found-family bonds, and a mystery that reaches back further than any of them expected, The Locked Room continues the story that started in The Ones Who Remain, proving that the scariest thing in Blackthorn House might not be a ghost at all. It might be the truth.
