Discovered

The Message worth dying for . . .

The government tells fifteen-year-old Simon Clay everything he needs to know. Except what really happened to his mom. And why no one can go out at night. And why the Darkness is so dangerous.

By day, Simon pushes against every boundary there is. And by night, secret visitors and hidden messages make him question everything his life entails.

There’s a truth out there to be discovered, a truth the government will stop at nothing to stamp out. Join Simon and the Messengers as they risk their lives to protect it.
Book one of The Messengers Series.

Young Mary Lennox is unhappy and alone. Suddenly orphaned, she’s sent to live with her uncle at his estate on the wild Yorkshire Moors. A grand house, Misselthwaite Manor seems to be full of secrets; it has almost a hundred rooms, and at night Mary can hear someone crying.
