A House of Vipers
It’s been a year and a half since Sutter Heyward’s brother, Lawson, disappeared from the secluded campus at Meddlehart Academy. Everyone has given up on finding him except for Sutter, who can’t shake the feeling he is out there somewhere and desperately needs help to make it home.
That is, until he and his friends uncover clues that Lawson was searching for their school’s buried treasure the night he went missing…and there is a secret society on campus still trying to find it. They are the Order of the Vipers. Sutter and his friends don’t hesitate to join the hunt but soon realize that becoming a Viper involves dangerous initiation rituals where the risk is often greater than the reward.
With every clue and secret they uncover, Sutter knows they are one step closer to solving the disappearance. But as he digs closer to the deadly truth, he will discover that some things were meant to stay buried.
