It's the year 2112 during the Age of Silence, and the emergency
policies established during the crises of the previous century are
still in place. A Reverence for Life has vanished with the passage
of laws and the passage of time. The evil beneath Howard Mountain
can no longer be buried. Will someone be brave enough to break the
silence? The season is Gift-giving time and as a Legacy Citizen,
Lady Christiana Applewait comes of age at twenty-four. She begins
the detoxification process that will restore her emotions, a
privilege and responsibility awarded only to the elite. But,
experiencing feelings will make the loss of her grandparents,
members of the Council of Elders, even more difficult to bear.
Their Length of Days will soon be up.
The year is 1945. The horrible war that wrapped the world in
torment has come to an end-yet the torment of young Adam Shoemaker
lives on. His father never came back from battle, and his mother is
in the hospital with tuberculosis. Homeless, Adam seeks shelter in
the Cranberry Street Church belfry ... but Adam is not alone.
The belfry is inhabited by strange spirits. One spirit seems to
wish good on others, while the demonic shadows mean only harm. Adam
hears them both; they whisper to him and give him power. When
thieves break into the church one night, Adam is the only witness,
but by revealing himself, he would expose his only home.
Adam has a choice. He can listen to the spirit of the belfry and
get his family back, or he can side with the shadow beings, who
promise justice to the thieves and power he never imagined. Adam
feels as though he is being watched, but with the help of new
friends, he stays hidden as he fights to decide who he will call on
for help. Will he side with the light or the darkness?
