When the Sky Grew Antlers: The Year Briar Hollow Changed Forever

  When the Sky Grew Antlers: The Year Briar Hollow Changed Forever Something strange is coming to Briar Hollow, Texas. In The Beacon Year, a quiet town begins to experience things that should never happen. Gravity starts acting strangely. Small objects lift from the ground. Animals watch the sky like they are waiting for something. Rowan and Maeve know these signs are not random.

  The River That Chose the Wrong Direction Something strange is happening in Briar Hollow. After a violent storm shakes the town, the quiet creek behind the old museum begins to act… wrong. The water splits into different paths overnight. Animals appear twice in the same place. Reflections in the water move before the people standing above them. At first it seems like a mystery. But Rowan and Maeve soon realize the creek is no longer just water — it has become a doorway between worlds. As they investigate the strange changes, they discover something ancient beneath the museum. A dark force called the Harvester is using the water to spread across the land.
