Synopsis

For every bell a person, for every bell a purpose, for every bell a power.

The city of Kloakweyst was never silent. Its magic was cast in bronze and iron: great bells tolling day and night, turning storms aside, holding back marauders, binding an empire together in one endless, protective peal. Then a stranger comes through the market gates wearing no bells at all, silence rippling in his wake, carrying a bell too perfect for this world, ushering the fall of Kloakweyst.

A novella told in verse, swinging like a clapper between the ringing splendor of before the fall and the haunted quiet after, The Fall of the City of Bells is a story of empire and exile, complicity and grief, and of learning what music is worth making after the power of the old song has failed.

We will make many mistakes in our wanderings,
but our carillon’s ringing, tolling, jingling journey
back and forth through a rebuilding wasteland

Bells to bells, tolling our wandering ways.
