Book Two of the Signal Cycle
The signal never stopped.
It just changed who it was listening for.
When Claire returns to Cripple Creek, she doesn't expect to find anything except dust and silence. But beneath the old playhouse floorboards, something stirs-a pulse in the static, a whisper buried in the walls. And when a voice breaks through the transmitter-her own voice, saying words she's never spoken-Claire realizes the past isn't just echoing.
It's calling her back.
Across shifting murals and forgotten towns, through mirrors that remember and towers that hum with presence, Claire uncovers a truth buried beneath time itself: she isn't just tuned to the signal-she's part of it.
Guided by a mysterious girl with familiar eyes, pursued by a man who built systems to contain the uncontainable, and haunted by memories she doesn't yet have, Claire must decide whether to keep listening...
Or finally answer.
Because the train is coming.
The spiral is waking.
And some echoes were never meant to fade.
