The Dark Rises (The Edgewater Chronicles, #1)

Twelve year old Nikola stood in front of an open grave. His grandma was dead and gone. With her death, a door was kicked open, and an ancestral curse-a mark on Nikola's bloodline and rooted in the very bones of the earth-lay revealed. Change is hard. Being the new kid at school is harder, especially with a sinister Vice Principal like William Weaver. Nikola meets a girl named Lizzy. The shocking things happening to him were happening to her as well. She lived on a nearby lake, in a cabin her grandpa had built long ago. Spook Central, she called it. They meet Dmitry, ancient and mysterious-with secrets of his own. Nikola is forced to choose-unravel the mystery of his dark lineage and bring the fight to the enemy, or face a lifetime of running.
