In the lands of Greyspire, the government is run by the corrupt President Grey, as the citizens seek freedom, they soon realise the truth is not what it may seem. 

*

April Wren was born to be a detective with nothing to detect so when a mystery knocks at her door: a secret the town has been forced to keep - a friend who lets on more than she should - the love interest who is far from the truth - the history her family tries to bury - and a killer who hides in plain sight. When she discovers the mystery of the town's government, she soon realises, the story is almost too similar to her life.

Her latest destination is Milnhome, the rural town where her runaway brother Jacob has resurfaced after five years of silence. With its distant location, picturesque countryside setting, and the chance to reconnect with her only living family, Milnhome carries all the hallmarks of a fresh start. Yet the move isn't the new beginning that Gemma hopes for. Jacob is nowhere to be seen when she arrives, and it doesn't take long for Gemma's search to turn up her brother's dead body. The news sends shockwaves through the quiet community, exposing deep tensions between the town's residents and the private security company Jacob worked for. And when Gemma digs into her brother's life looking for answers, she uncovers signs of a worrying conspiracy that threatens Milnhome's whole future. With every step, Gemma descends further into danger. What made Jacob reach out to her after so many years apart? Why did he keep her a secret from the locals? And as new friends and old mysteries spring up around the town in equal measure, can Gemma find herself a home between these hills? *** Written for #ONC2024. 13.
