Beneath Sweetwater Grove Lies a History No One Was Supposed to Find

Two months after Mayor Bennett’s death and Colin’s arrest, Jess Scrumptious knows the story is not finished. An unfamiliar history book appears in her bookstore. Someone watches from across the street. Hailey receives silent calls. Then construction near the old fountain exposes something that looks disturbingly like human bone.

The investigation leads Jess, Hailey, Jeff, and Hunter into Sweetwater Grove’s hidden tunnels and toward records of decades-old disappearances, powerful founding families, erased history, and a mysterious figure known as the Keeper.

As warnings become threats and Hailey herself becomes a target, the group must decide how far they are willing to go for the truth, and what happens when that truth reaches closer to home than any of them expected.
