The Long Quiet

By Chad Freeman

For generations, the people of Greyhaven have lived high among the branches of colossal living trees.

Life is ordered. Predictable. Safe.

Until a runner named Tarin disappears.

Most accept the loss and move on.

Eli cannot.

While searching for answers, he begins finding signs that something is wrong. Witnesses remember events differently. Records fail to align. A strange carved mark appears wherever the trail grows cold.

The deeper Eli investigates, the more unsettling the pattern becomes. Tarin was not the first person to vanish. Others disappeared before him. Some left warnings. All were searching for the same thing.

What begins as the search for a missing friend becomes a journey into a mystery hidden beneath generations of certainty.

Because in Greyhaven, some truths are not forgotten.

They are made to disappear.

The Long Quiet is an atmospheric speculative fiction mystery about memory, disappearance, and the dangerous comfort of agreement.
