The Great And The Narrow

Release Date: January 14, 2022

For as long as the elders’ books recorded, tricks of the old and warnings of nasty things plagued Eighteen Oaks, an isolated town standing among the brushwood of the West Virginia Appalachians. Bahiya Raincrow, lazy and defiant, is meant to receive the gifts of Mile Rock, a power used by her Nana to communicate and command the forces of nature at will

But when mysterious travelers emerge from the woods, panic ignites the town, because everyone knows outsiders carry the darkest trick and disease of them all: the Narrow.

With little time to learn the gifts, the only option for Bahiya is to find the one person who can fight the Narrow and rid the town of its guests…Nana. The problem is, she’s missing.

To protect Eighteen Oaks, Bahiya must do the forbidden, leave the mountain and travel great lengths to uncover the truth or see her people and town destroyed.
