Kedgetown Book 1 A magical bookshop holds the keys. When Mason Chynoweth inherits an old house in small-town New Zealand, he hopes to discover what happened to his great-great uncle Lewis after he returned from the war in 1945. Mason's first encounter with the property is thankfully reassuring-his sensitive psychic powers aren't triggered and he has a calm sense of coming home.Elijah Whitaker arrives in Kedgetown for an extended visit with his aunts. He's quickly drawn to Mason and offers to help him try to find some answers in the dusty old house. It soon becomes clear that Mason is keeping secrets, but Elijah has a few secrets of his own. Like his closely guarded knowledge of the hidden supernatural world, and the fact that many of the townspeople are psi and supernaturals. What is the connection between the house and Postscript, the town's enigmatic bookshop? Mason's glimpses of the past give some clues, but not enough to make sense of the puzzle. When a hidden journal comes to light, the true story of Lewis's journey is revealed, and his path and Mason and Elijah's begin to intertwine.

A recent arrival in Boggslake, Ben finds it very different from his native New Zealand, but something about Simon makes Ben feel as though he's found a new home.
