The Bell Beneath the World
In the fog-locked Vigil Spire, eighteen-year-old Rooke Ashfall inherits her dying mentor's sacred duty: ring the Deepbell every seventh night to keep the titan buried beneath the mountain locked in dreamless sleep, paying the toll with slivers of her own voice. When her exiled brother returns with proof that the sleep is a lie the ruling Choir tells to harvest the titan's dreams for power, Rooke must decide whether breaking a five-century oath to wake a god is salvation—or the ending of everything she was born to protect.
