About this audiobook
For four hundred years, they rang the hours. Then, for one night, they stopped.
High above the valley of the Ossen stands a silent spire, sixty bells in its tower. Its brothers kept the Office for four centuries, every hour rung by hand. Then something came up the valley road, and the house fell silent so as not to be found.
It worked. Nothing found them.
And the bells never rang again.
Now three strangers climb the spire. Ivo, a bellfounder's son who hears what no one else can. Vasil, a soldier who watched the bravest person he knew die on the fourth floor. And Fenn, a young archer who has never let anything come within twenty feet of him.
Every bell they ring lights the dark, and wakes everything still standing in it.
But what waits in the spire is not evil. It has only been waiting four hundred years for someone to tell it the night is over.
A haunting novel of duty, mercy, and the courage it takes to begin again.
