This Quiet Kingdom

By Dan Hatch

What if the world stopped, but you didn't?

For Noah Ellis, a former grief counselor haunted by the loss of his daughter, the world had already become a quiet, lonely place. But one afternoon, it joins him in his stillness. In a single, silent moment, everything and everyone on Earth freezes mid-step, leaving him the sole moving inhabitant of a city-sized tomb.

Left to wander a world where even physics is suspended, Noah discovers he is not entirely alone. A series of impossible clues suggests a hidden intelligence is at work-a power that defies the new rules of reality, a power that seems focused entirely on him. The trail leads to a single sanctuary in the silent city: a library where time hasn't completely stopped, and where the answers to his salvation or damnation await .

Is this strange, quiet kingdom a prison built to punish him for his past, or is it a final, desperate message from the life he thought he'd lost forever?

This Quiet Kingdom is a gripping novel of cosmic mystery, profound loss, and the incredible lengths love will travel to find us in the dark.
