Description of Light Bringer:
Becka Johnson had been abandoned on the doorstep of a remote cabin in Chalcedony, Colorado when she was a baby. Now, thirty-seven years later, she has returned to Chalcedony to discover her identity, but she only finds more questions. Who has been looking for her all those years? Why are those same people interested in fellow newcomer Philip Hansen? Who is Philip, and why does her body sing in harmony with his? And what do either of them have to do with a shadow corporation that once operated a secret underground installation in the area?
Excerpt from Light Bringer:
Philip woke in the dark of early morning, forehead damp with perspiration, heart pounding from unremembered nightmares. When calm settled over him, he listened for the sound of Rena’s even breathing on the other side of the thin wall. Hearing only an indigo silence, he rose and went to check on her. Because he didn’t take the time to put on his braces, he made sure to plant one foot on the floor before swinging the other forward.
Rena’s bed was empty.
He found her on the porch, sitting on the single step, her strange cat beside her.
She turned a smile on him, as bright as the starshine.
He sat next to her. “What are you doing out here?”
“Listening to the music of the spheres.” As one, she and the cat tilted their faces to the sky. “Can you hear it?”
He angled his head. He heard crickets chirping nearby, dogs barking in the distance, and farther away a train clattering on its tracks. As he isolated each sound, he set it aside until there were no more noises. Then, as if from some vast remoteness, he heard a faint silvery tone that seemed to swell, bursting into a thousand jewel-bright notes. Every note sounded clean and sharp, a thing unto itself, but melodized into an aural patchwork quilt of intricate design.
After a timeless interval—minutes or hours, he had no way of knowing—heavy clouds rolled in, turning off the sky.
He shivered in the cooling air. Rena inched closer, put an arm around his waist, and nestled against him.
Warmth and sweet harmony enveloped them as if that aural quilt had settled on their shoulders.
