West Indies, 1718. Tess Willoughby and William Taylor have lived through worse times: they didn't drown in the shipwreck that brought them to this island, and they survived a harrowing escape from the hands of a vicious pirate crew. So far they have prevented anything from separating them. But when they are separated by one misstep in the darkness of an underground cave, Tess is forced to rely on the powers of her three strange Spinner rings. In her quest to find William again, she stands to lose everything - love, family, trust, and even her life - as the remaining rings, now awoken, toss both Tess and William into the paths of a deranged ship captain and a psychotic killer. Either pathway will be deadly as the Quintspinner adventures continue...

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. There are some friends you never forget. It's the summer of 1955. For Ethan Harper, a biracial kid raised mostly by his white father, race has always been a distant conversation. When he's sent to spend the summer with his aunt and uncle in small-town Alabama, his blackness is suddenly front and center, and no one is shy about making it known he's not welcome there. Enter Juniper Jones. The town's resident oddball and free spirit, she's everything the townspeople aren't-open, kind, and accepting. Armed with two bikes and an unlimited supply of root beer floats, Ethan and Juniper set out to find their place in a town that's bent on rejecting them. As Ethan is confronted for the first time by what it means to be black in America, Juniper tries to help him see the beauty in even the ugliest reality, and that even the darkest days can give rise to an invincible summer . . .
