The Whiteridge Council

The Whiteridge Council: Greystone Rising
By H.K. Addams

When fifteen-year-old Naya Greystone returns to the mysterious coastal town of Whiteridge, she expects secrets-but not a legacy of blood.

Once banished after a massacre no one dares to speak of, Naya's family name is a ghost whispered in school hallways and scratched out on town plaques. But when her father is found murdered and another teen vanishes, Naya begins to unravel a dark truth hidden beneath Whiteridge's ivy-covered schools and cobbled streets: the town is ruled by a secret Council formed by seven founding families-and someone is killing their heirs.

With the help of three unlikely allies-clever Tilly Mitchell, guarded Hayden Stratford, and calculating Diana Eldridge-Naya follows a trail of riddles, trials, and forbidden archives. Together, they must navigate deadly puzzles, underground chambers, and a crumbling political system to uncover a truth buried by generations.

But some secrets were never meant to be unearthed.
And some names-like Greystone-were never meant to rise again.

Dark, atmospheric, and unputdownable, Greystone Rising is the first novel in The Whiteridge Council series-where legacy is power, and survival is a rebellion.
