A hidden world. A murdered mother. A girl who refuses to look away.
Fourteen-year-old Sophia Sprite's life ended the day a rockslide took both her parents. Now she's stuck in Elwha, Washington—a nothing town obsessed with Bigfoot—living with a grandfather she barely knows. But Elwha isn't what it seems.
Her mother's music box hides a key. The key opens a trunk in the attic. And inside the trunk, Sophia finds a whistle that calls to an underground world—an ancient civilization living beneath the Pacific Northwest, and her mother was their closest human ally for over twenty years.
The Northborn—an ancient hominid species that went into hiding 60,000 years ago—are on the brink of war. And someone murdered Sophia's mother to keep their existence secret.
Armed with only her mother's whistle, her tech-genius best friend, and a leprechaun with terrible advice, Sophia must infiltrate a secret facility, expose a conspiracy, and stop a weapon that could destroy both species.
Because the biggest secret in the world? It's been living under our feet all along.
Perfect for fans of:
- Rick Riordan's mythological adventures
- Cryptid fiction and Bigfoot legends
- Stories about found family and unlikely friendships
- Heroes who are scared but brave anyway
