He had a lodge on the water, dark and turned away from the view. He wasn't looking for a renovation. He was looking for someone who could see what the place was meant to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Octopus Cove, Cole begins to understand. He sees it in the building - and in the people around it: Sam, who knows every inch of the lodge and watches him carefully before deciding whether he can be trusted; a contractor whose answers come just a fraction too quickly; a shoreline where the eelgrass is thinning in ways that don't make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Cole is building starts to draw people together, shaping something like a community - something like a home. But not everything beneath the surface is what it seems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Light Takes Hold is the introduction to the Cascadia Mysteries - a world of place and community - and something hidden threatening it all.
