Overview
Forged in Fire is the fourteenth book in The Mysteries of Blackberry Valley fiction series.
When her mother's younger sister decides to visit Blackberry Valley, Hannah Prentiss is delighted! As she readies her apartment for Aunt Fiona's arrival, she comes upon a loose brick in her living room wall. Behind it, she finds a compass, along with a letter written in 1986 from “Sunshine” to “Apollo.” Who are these mysterious correspondents, and why did the items end up hidden in the old firehouse? Turns out Hannah needs her aunt's help to get this investigation headed in the right direction.
Meanwhile, Hannah can't help but feel unsettled about the future of her relationship with her best friend.
