Black Glass (The Witness Glass Trilogy)
THE HILL DOESN'T JUST TAKE THE MISSING. IT REMEMBERS THEM.
A bus full of teenagers vanishes on a clear highway. No skid marks. No crash. Only a set of coordinates written in salt on the inside of the windows.
Cal Harlow knows the ridge better than anyone in the county. As the lead Search and Rescue tech, he has pulled hikers out of snow and climbers off cliffs. But he also knows the truth that Sheriff Vega keeps locked in a secured evidence locker: the hill is not just rock and pine. It is a hostile geometry. It is a machine made of black glass and old grudges.
It starts with glitches. A reflection that lags three seconds behind the person standing in front of it. A radio that plays back your own voice from yesterday. A tapping in the walls that counts to nineteen.
When the hill takes his nephew along with the bus, Cal can no longer treat it as a rescue. It is a negotiation with a predator that has spent decades learning his face.
To get them back, Cal, Vega, and his sister Mara must break the silence they have kept for years. They have to map the "hinges" where the entity touches the world. They have to follow the coordinates down into the dark. And they must strictly obey the protocols that keep them alive:
No Names near active glass.
No Wipes of condensation or frost.
No Commands to the reflection.
The clean way didn't work. The safe way is gone. Now, Cal has to stand on the glass and make a trade that might cost him more than just his life. It might cost him every version of himself that ever existed.
Black Glass is a high-tension supernatural thriller about the things we leave behind in the dark, and what happens when they start looking back.
