The Griffins Secret Cove

🦅 Story Pitch: THE GRIFFIN’S SECRET COVE

Tagline: A mist-laden forest. An ancient map. And a griffin guarding secrets that could change everything.

🌿 Short Summary:
The fog rolled into Northwood thick as cream, curling through dark trees and blanketing the world in a ghostly hush. In Briarwood, everyone knew the old warnings: never stray from the forest path, and never enter the woods when the mist comes.

But seventeen-year-old Tamsin has a map — delicate ink on brittle paper, found tucked among her mother’s forgotten things. A map that promises more than whispered legends.

Drawn beyond the safety of worn trails, Tamsin steps into a grove the village swore didn’t exist. Mist swirls around ancient oaks, and at its heart lies a hidden cove shimmering with otherworldly light.

Waiting there is a griffin, regal and wary, with eyes that hold centuries. Whether he is guardian, curse, or something else entirely, Tamsin is about to discover that some stories live on for a reason — and some bargains are written in feather and blood.

💫 Why authors will love to finish this novel:
