The Kingdom That Sleeps at Noon
Part I: When the Bells Stopped
Every day at exactly noon, the bells ring...
and an entire kingdom falls asleep.
For seven minutes, the world goes silent.
No screams. No dreams. No memories.
Everyone forgets.
Everyone-except a few.
When Aron Vale discovers he can stay awake during the forbidden minutes, he begins to notice things that shouldn't exist: moving shadows, forgotten streets, and a silence that feels alive. While the kingdom sleeps peacefully, something walks freely through its streets-something ancient, patient, and permitted.
As Aron and a small group of teens search for answers, they uncover a truth buried beneath bells, crowns, and centuries of lies. The sleep was never a curse. It was a choice.
And now, that choice is beginning to break.
A dark fantasy mystery inspired by the tension of Stranger Things and the depth of epic kingdoms, The Kingdom That Sleeps at Noon is a story about memory, fear, and the cost of survival-told in whispers between seven stolen minutes.
When the bells ring...
will you sleep?
Or will you see the truth?
