The First Resonance (The Thirteenth Chime, #1)
Description
In the quiet town of Marrowell, time has always been a steady, predictable pulse-until the night the Marrowell Bellspire strikes a thirteenth chime. For local journalist Rowan Calder, the sound is more than a mechanical glitch; it's a catalyst. As the impossible hour rings out, Rowan witnesses the first ripple of change in Lisette Moreno, whose life-altering decision triggers The Velvet Fracture. With the help of the eccentric clockmaker Delphia Crinn, Rowan begins to track a series of "Lost Potentials" manifesting as The Candle Unburnt. In a town where every vibration holds a secret, Rowan must discover if the thirteenth chime is a gift of new beginnings or a warning of a destiny coming undone.
