HELLO! I’m Lori, your hostess for this stop on the YA Scavenger Hunt! Take a look around or lie back and rest your weary scavenger-hunting limbs. It’s okay. I’ll wait 🙂

Here are 3 truths and a lie about me:
• I love cheese.
• I believe in magic.
• I’m obsessed with unicorns.
• I have 12 fingers.

Looking for my exclusive bonus content? Somewhere on this leg of the hunt, I’ve hidden the original opening to Gates of Thread and Stone, when it was still equal parts fantasy and science fiction.

Meet the boys of Winlock Harbor:

Grayson Cartwright: Golden Boy. Football Prodigy. Troublemaker.

Mike Metzler: Local Heartthrob. Surfer Boy. Hopeless Romantic.

Ian Handler: Army Brat. Musician. King of Sarcasm.

Best friends since they were kids, Grayson, Mike, and Ian were hoping for another epic summer on “The Locks”, filled with clam bakes, bonfires, and late-night swims in the ocean.

But that was before Ian’s dad never returned home from his last deployment. Before Mike had to take on more responsibility in order to help provide for his family. Before Grayson’s accident left him with an injured throwing armand an uncertain future.

It’s clear this summer on the island is shaping up to be very different from those Grayson, Mike, and Ian have come to rely on. And when the sacred code of dating a friend’s sister or ex is broken, it will push their friendship to the absolute limit, testing their loyalties in way that could either break them—or save them.
