SILENT NODES: The Shadows Weaving: 3

SILENT NODES The Red Spear Adventures - Book Three of the Riftward Legacy Nine years of silver prosperity have healed the continent. But the North is choosing silence. The Rift Valley blooms with living crystal veins. Humanity and the Krythari sing as one. Yet not every awakened Node welcomes the harmony. Deep beneath Antarctic ice, in crushing darkness untouched for four hundred thousand years, the Cold Singer has stirred an ancient, isolationist intelligence that views connection as the death of everything it has guarded. Ten-year-old Nyarai Sankale, the living Bridge, feels its call. To prove that warmth does not mean destruction, she must descend alone into the frozen abyss with nothing but her voice and an open heart. As the Silent Crown a hardline northern alliance armed with a cataclysmic Severing Artifact races to fracture the planetary resonance forever, Kaelan, Zuri, and the pride must wage war on two fronts: above the ice and deep within the Heart of Silence. Old fears resurface. New fractures form. And a child who carries stars must stand between fire and eternal winter. The planet is choosing its future. Some Nodes will sing. Others would rather remain silent forever.
