The Dovetail Cove saga begins here—in July, 1971.

Farrah's on summer break and she's sure to tell you she's not twelve, she's twelve-and-a-half, thank you very much. The tiny island-town of Dovetail Cove is the only home she's known. And tonight, she's sneaking out to visit her Gran and show the old woman a 'mystery box' she's stumbled across at the Main Street Summer Market, dead certain there's a story hidden within. And she's right. Events reach back to 1956 and a shadowy 'incident' that started the darkness on the island. Only a handful know the true details of what really happened. And even fewer have witnessed this new darkness, but Farrah will catch a glimpse of it tonight...at the edge of her Gran's DEATHBED.
