Whisper Hill was only the first answer.
Far east of Lioran's village, Eira places her hand on a buried stone her grandmother spent a lifetime avoiding.
By sunset, forgotten boundary lines are rising beneath old settlements. Roads return travelers to where they began. Promises made generations ago begin taking hold again. And somewhere to the north, an entire watchtower appears forty miles from the ground on which it was built.
The oldest inscription offers only one warning:
"When the western center opens, the eastern witness must stand."
Eira has no idea what opened in the west, why the same ancient mark has appeared beneath her skin, or who the boy is that she keeps glimpsing beside a distant black hill.
She has little time to find out.
Across the eastern lands, impossible events are spreading. Northern soldiers believe the East is responsible. Old suspicions are turning dangerous, and civilizations that survived for generations by following very different rules of land, memory, distance, and oath are being forced toward one another.
Far to the west, Lioran believed he had stopped the Shadow beneath Whisper Hill.
He had only misunderstood how large it was.
Something ancient is beginning to recognize itself across distances that were never meant to reconnect. And as forgotten parts of the world begin answering one another, Eira and Lioran may discover that Whisper Hill was never the center of the danger.
It was only one place where the danger could be heard.
The Eastern Witness is a mythic dark fantasy of impossible roads, ancient vows, rival civilizations, living boundaries, psychological mystery, and an enemy whose true scale is only beginning to emerge.
