They soon find out that there are others who want the book, and will stop at nothing to possess it—even murder. Pulled into a centuries-old conflict for which nothing could have prepared them, the girls flee for their lives, and find help in the most unexpected places.

When facing evil, will they surrender themselves, and the book, or fight to the end? Book 1 of The Culver Falls Chronicles For grades 4 - 9 Age range 8 - 14
