Mystery / ThrillerWe Buried the Wrong Girl
ix years ago, June Calloway buried her twin sister, Wren, after a burned body was identified and laid to rest beneath Wren’s name. But when their dying mother demands the grave be opened, one impossible fact changes everything. The girl they buried was not Wren. Now June must uncover who is really in the grave, what happened the night Wren disappeared, and why some of Alder Hollow’s most powerful people worked so hard to make the investigation end. The deeper June digs with forensic genealogist Micah Reyes, the more the town’s old story begins to collapse. Hidden payments, altered records, buried evidence, and a terrified girl nobody bothered to identify all point toward the Ashford family and a secret that has survived for six years. But the most dangerous truth is also the one June wants most desperately to believe. Wren may never have died at all.

Her only chance may lie with Cole Mercer, a tracker who should be hunting her but keeps choosing to help her survive. But Cole is hiding the one truth Nora may never forgive. With the final night approaching, survival is no longer enough. Nora and the others must expose the system before Blackwater erases them with it.

At Wrenhollow, there is one rule every student learns quickly: when the bell rings thirteen times, stay inside and pretend you heard nothing. Maren Cole did not come to the isolated boarding school to obey. Two years earlier, her sister Josie left Wrenhollow terrified, silent, and unable to explain what happened the night she nearly drowned. Now Maren has earned a place at the same school, determined to uncover the truth. But Wrenhollow protects its secrets carefully. Black feathers appear as warnings. Students disappear after midnight. A hidden society called the Wrens controls reputations, scholarships, families, and futures through a mysterious Book of Names. And Rhys Harrow, the powerful boy who keeps appearing whenever the tide turns dangerous, seems to know far more about Josie's past than he will admit. The deeper Maren investigates, the harder it becomes to tell who is protecting her and who is preparing her for the same fate as her sister. Because at Wrenhollow, secrets are not simply kept. They are enforced. And when Maren finally learns why Rhys was standing on the sandbar the night Josie almost died, the truth will change everything she thought she knew about him, the school, and the rule nobody has dared to break.

Six weeks before a royal coronation, junior Verifier Ines Sault discovers something impossible: the Crown Register—the record that legally decides what is true—has been altered. The man preparing to become King may not be the rightful heir. Buried beneath forged ink and a seventeen-year-old cover-up is the existence of an elder son whose place in history was erased with a single stroke of a pen. But restoring the truth could destroy a royal family, expose a murder, shake the kingdom’s stability—and place the crown on the head of Aurel Sancery, a man who never knew it should have been his. As Ines follows the paper trail, she grows dangerously close to Aurel. And the nearer they come to proving who he really is, the more they uncover a crueler truth: if the Crown becomes his, the law may make it impossible for them to ever belong to each other. In a kingdom where a written line can create a King—or erase one—some truths cost more than a crown.
