The Village

By Holly Radcliffe

Some secrets should stay buried. Others demand to be uncovered.

When thirteen-year-old Wren Blackwood arrives in the mysterious village of Black Briar after her mother's death, she expects nothing more than a fresh start. Instead, she discovers whispered legends of witches, a child who vanished decades ago, and a village determined to keep its darkest secret hidden.

With the help of her new friend Ash, Wren follows a trail of forgotten clues, hidden rooms and long-lost memories. But the closer they get to the truth, the more someone wants them to stop.

As ancient magic awakens and the past refuses to stay buried, Wren must uncover the truth about her family history before it repeats itself.

Perfect for readers aged 10-15 who love mystery, adventure and a touch of the supernatural.

The Village is the first book in The Black Briar Mysteries.
