EXCERPTS (Exclusive Excerpt):
She faced her head squarely at the dark patch growing before them with a newly acquired
determination.
determination.
They were met with a chill of moisture, and a wet mist coated their faces. The grey space in the
center of the trees grew wider, and they passed through a thick fog, entering sound. Wind
whistling, rain blowing, the steady and unceasing rhythm of a water’s tide. Their lips were wet, salted,
and they proceeded slowly on coarse sand, not moving away much from the Door. It was night, and
the sky was lit by a bright moon.

The gusts shifted their weight as they stood there, the door closing behind them. Nadia turned and
watched the last wisp of white cloud dissipate, feeling now quite unsure and alone, her wheels stuck
in the sand, a key in both hands, her hair unkempt and in knots, and the small crawling fingers of a
child ever clinging to her arm. Putting the keys into the lining of her garment, she hadn’t realized just
how safe the Land of Silence felt until it was gone. Now she was two worlds away from Georgeonus.
Two whole worlds.

She looked down at the boots coated in sand, then up to survey the shore. She had seen pictures of
the ocean in books, but had never known it to be a real thing. But here it was, its sound and rhythm
alive. Living and breathing like an expansive entity, sending its cleansing salt into the breeze and onto
the earth.

Nadia felt reassured by the metal suit, and the metal suit only. Richard patiently circled her as she
continued to survey the shore, her gaze fixing on the dark distance, trying to decipher a shape
in the dunes. A hut.

And in its window a tiny glow.
