An ancient bone rises from the mud. A stolen relic changes hands. And on Blennerhassett Island, history is being taught to lie.
When floodwaters tear open the banks of a remote Ohio River island, a boy discovers human bones, reddish fibers, and a black stone pendant marked with a symbol that powerful men are desperate to call a crown.
Former surveyor Silas Crowe wants nothing to do with old graves, dangerous secrets, or the ambitions gathering inside Harman Blennerhassett's elegant island mansion. But when a grieving widow arrives with her murdered husband's journal, Silas is pulled into a mystery buried far deeper than mud.
Eliza Hartwell believes her husband died because he uncovered a chain of altered relics-ancient warnings being twisted into proof of dominion. A ruthless scholar, Dr. Cassius Vane, is determined to turn the island discovery into something far more useful than truth. And as Aaron Burr's shadowy western conspiracy gathers force, the bones beneath Blennerhassett Island become more than a curiosity.
They become a weapon.
Together, Silas and Eliza must uncover what the pendant truly means before Vane and the secretive Sons of Nimrod transform a buried warning into a false crown-one that could give ambitious men the myth they need to claim the Ohio Valley as their own.
But the island is only the first witness.
And the next one is already being raised.
The Bones of Blennerhassett Island is Book 1 in The Ohio Valley Relics, a historical adventure mystery series filled with ancient relics, frontier danger, biblical echoes, ruthless elites, buried secrets, and high-stakes Ohio Valley legend.
