The Silence by the River

Jerusalem is fading into memory.

Along the banks of the River Chebar in Babylon, the Jewish exiles struggle to rebuild lives far from the land they once called home. Among them is Azariah, a young scribe tasked with preserving records, stories, and memories that many fear will soon be forgotten.

When strange rumours begin to spread through the settlement-lights over the river, missing tablets, unexplained signs, and whispers surrounding a quiet priest named Ezekiel-Azariah finds himself drawn into a mystery that reaches far beyond exile.

His search for answers leads him to Amira, an intelligent young woman whose past has been deliberately obscured, and Kedar, a brilliant Babylonian scholar whose questions challenge everything Azariah believes.

As friendships are tested, ancient records reveal forgotten connections between civilizations, and troubling news arrives from Jerusalem, one question grows impossible to ignore:

Why does everything seem to lead back to Ezekiel?

Inspired by the world behind the Book of Ezekiel, The Silence by the River explores the years of exile that Scripture only briefly describes-a story of faith, identity, friendship, mystery, and the search for truth in a land where many believed God had been left behind.

Some mysteries demand answers.

Others demand wonder.
