Whispers of the Olympic Woods

Deep in the misty forests of the Olympic Peninsula lies a world of ancient magic and dangerous secrets that sixteen-year-old Lila Grayson is about to discover. When her grandmother mysteriously vanishes, Lila finds herself armed with nothing but a silver pendant and a sketchbook filled with fantastical tales that might not be fiction after all.
As the trees whisper warnings and shadows move with sinister purpose, Lila teams up with Nate, a grieving skeptic searching for his missing sister, and Riley, a girl with her own magical heritage. Together, they encounter Bramble, a grumpy but helpful gnome who reveals the shocking truth: the forest is breaking, corrupted by shadow walkers serving a powerful queen who seeks to enter our world.
With time running out, Lila and her friends must collect seven magical pendants scattered throughout the forest before the shadows consume everything. Each pendant requires a keeper from one of seven special bloodlines, and with each discovery, Lila uncovers more about her own destiny and the sacrifice that awaits them all.
Racing against darkness that grows stronger each night, dodging corrupted creatures with too many eyes, and navigating paths that shift and change at will, Lila discovers powers she never knew she had. But will it be enough to save her grandmother, rescue Nate's sister, and prevent an ancient evil from breaking through into our world?
Whispers of the Olympic Woods is an enchanting tale of courage, friendship, and discovering the magic that runs in your blood-perfect for fans of mysterious forests, magical adventures, and the power of family legacies.
