Sixteen-year-old Elias Rowan has learned to trust ordinary things: breakfast with his father, the familiar halls of school, and the worn leather book he has carried since childhood.
Then the book changes.
A sentence appears where no sentence existed before. A hidden aisle emerges inside the school library. At a traffic crossing, a signal holds six seconds too long-and a moving car stops within a distance it could not possibly have had.
Only Elias, Mira, and Theo witness enough to understand that something impossible has happened. Mira can sense where the world has worn thin. Theo is determined to measure what reason says cannot exist. And Elias has begun to feel something answering from within him whenever reality slips out of place.
Their search leads them back to the library, where carved symbols repeat across forgotten architecture, books remember their visitors, and seven interlocking arcs point toward a history someone intended to bury. But the closer the three friends come to the truth, the clearer it becomes that the adults around them know more than they admit-and that some absences are not as empty as they appear.
Atmospheric, mysterious, and richly illustrated, The Silence Between Worlds is the first novel in The Bridgemaker Saga: a story of friendship, grief, memory, and the hidden structures connecting one world to another.
