Publisher's Synopsis
In 1778, 14-year-old Kate Dibble wrote diaries chronicling an alien visitation on a remote plantation on the banks of the James River.
For two hundred years, those diaries remained hidden.
Until now.
A mysterious elderly stranger offers Colin Brayton, a bookstore owner, the job of appraising old books at a desolate colonial plantation. While working on the books, Colin stumbles across a series of diaries written in the late 1770s by fourteen-year-old Kate Dibble that chronicles an alien visitation.Colin attempts to navigate a delicate balance between solving the mystery of the diary and simmering tensions with the beautiful, but aloof caretaker, Madeline Prentice. The strained relationship reaches a boiling point as a thunderstorm descends over the desolate property and prevents them from leaving.
A malicious winged being emerges from the storm and demands the presence of The Ancient One in three days. When the diary hints at a buried spaceship, Colin and Maddy must put aside their differences to find the ship for their safety, and solve the mystery of the diary that hints at who The Ancient One is before the being seals their fate.
