Summer reading has never been more exciting! Enter to win “The Harwood Mysteries” trilogy including Shadow in the Dark, The Haunted Cathedral, The Fire of Eden. Three winners will be selected at the end of the month!  

The Harwood Mysteries invite young readers to travel to medieval England. The main character, an orphan named Xan, and his friends encounter mysteries in and around a Benedictine abbey while learning wisdom and values from the monks. 

Shadow in the Dark: An attack by bandits in the middle of the night leaves a young boy with no memory of who he is or where he is from. Nursed back to health by the devoted monks in a Benedictine abbey, he takes the name Alexander, or Xan for short. Aided by the kindly Brother Andrew, Xan commits himself to finding out who he really is. Does he have a family? Are they still alive? And who—or what—is the shadowy figure creeping around the abbey in the dead of night?  

The Haunted Cathedral: An ill-fated journey, a long-lost uncle, and a mysterious cathedral mark the next chapter in the life of Xan. For a year, he has lived in the care of Benedictine monks at Harwood Abbey. Now he learns that he has an uncle, said to live in the far-off city of Lincoln. Will Xan survive the trip alongside the prisoner Carlo and his cruel guards? Will he find Uncle William? And why is Xan drawn to the spirit that haunts Lincoln Cathedral?  

The Fire of Eden: In his latest adventure, Xan joins forces with a most unlikely ally to uncover the mystery of the loss of a priceless ruby coveted by many. Who took the ruby—a dishonest monk, a traitorous member of Her Lady’s guard, or the frightening magician who dwells in the woods?
