The Keeper's Song: A Thriller
The Keeper's Song
by Scott P. Hicks
A haunting blend of music, mystery, and ancient power set deep in the Appalachian Mountains, The Keeper's Song weaves a tale of resonance and redemption that will grip readers from the very first note.
When a forbidden melody shakes the very earth beneath their feet, the fate of the world hinges on a secret only a few can hear-the silent spaces between the music.
Harper Cole is no stranger to secrets. A brilliant acoustic scientist haunted by a past mistake, she's drawn back to her Appalachian home by a strange phenomenon: an ancient musical resonance is awakening, threatening to tear apart reality itself. At the heart of it lies the Staff of Selene and two other mysterious relics, instruments of an ancient covenant designed to balance cosmic forces through sound.
But when Vincent Harrow, a gifted composer imprisoned for unlocking forbidden notes, is forced to play his masterpiece, a symphony that could unravel the fabric of the world, Harper and her team must race against time. They navigate dark mines, secret societies, and supernatural guardians as the long-forgotten Oath of Silence unravels.
