Ninth grade, mid-year, and she doesn't know a soul. She's angry, homesick, and convinced her life is over.\u003cbr\u003eThen she starts to hear the whispers.\u003cbr\u003eAt school they call it the \"Ling house,\" named for the family who disappeared there ten years ago without a trace. Students ask her about blood in the den. They tell stories of murder and cover-ups. Anna, a born scientist, thinks it's hazing-until she finds the newspaper articles and realizes the rumors are true. The Lings, a brilliant mixed-heritage academic couple with two young children, vanished in January. The house has a history of people simply... disappearing.\u003cbr\u003eAnd it isn't done with her yet.\u003cbr\u003eAs Anna begins to dream of a boy named Tye-the age he would be now-she's drawn deeper into a mystery that crosses generations, cultures, and something stranger than time itself. Her family doesn't believe her. Her new friends whisper. But the house remembers, and its secrets are bound in stone.\u003cbr\u003eThis \u003cb\u003eThird Edition\u003c\/b\u003e of \u003ci\u003eMorningstar\u003c\/i\u003e includes \u003cb\u003ethree bonus beginnings from the upcoming sequel\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003es\u003c\/b\u003e-glimpses into new voices and deeper mysteries-available to read \u003cb\u003efree with Kindle Unlimited\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003ePerfect for readers of historical fantasy, Indigenous time-slip fiction, and YA adventure who love strong characters, layered history, and slow-burn mystery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cr Petersen M.
