What if the monster was only a boy?

Boone has always known the woods hold secrets. Strange lights. Stranger stories. And the kind of silence that listens back.

When a hunted werewolf stumbles into Briarstead, the whole county wants blood and a bounty.

Boone sees something else-a frightened boy with nowhere left to run.

Saving him means breaking the rules and risking the fragile home he has found at Briarstead. But some monsters aren't born. And some families are chosen.

Set in the Appalachian Mountains and steeped in folklore, The Ballad of Boone is the first book in The Seven Sons of Briarstead, a middle-grade fantasy series filled with forgotten magic, cryptids, adventure, and the enduring power of found family.

Perfect for readers who love heartfelt fantasy, mysterious forests, and unforgettable friendships.
