In the mist-shrouded village of Greywick, a silent tower looms over cobbled streets and moss-covered graves. At its heart hangs a great iron bell-so old its maker is forgotten, and so silent it has never rung in living memory. The villagers speak of it only in hushed voices, warning outsiders that its silence must never be broken. When Jonas Hale, a weary traveler with secrets of his own, arrives in Greywick, he becomes obsessed with the bell's mystery. What was it built to guard-or conceal? Why do the old stones bear strange carvings of a single watching eye? And why does the village fear the coming Harvest Moon? As Jonas digs deeper, ancient whispers rise from Greywick's past: of betrayal, forbidden rituals, and a curse tied to the bell's soundless voice. Each step toward the truth draws him closer to danger-and closer to a choice that could shatter centuries of silence. For in Greywick, some truths were meant to stay buried... And some bells were forged never to ring.
