Allow me to introduce you to The Sound and the Echoes, the adventure of a twelve-year-old boy who is swept into another realm, as he fights to save his life and the life of his parents from a terrifying danger most people don’t even know exists.

Imagine that everyone around you has a reflection living somewhere else.  Your world is like a sound that produced that other world of echoes.  And in this land men are governed by a terrible law—no Echo is allowed to live after his Sound dies.  To ensure this, the government practices murder every day.  Worst still, enemies are now plotting to get rid of the Prince—and what easier way than to kill his Sound?  Will Cleary is about to discover that he is the Sound they are hunting down.

And so begins an adventure into a cold, see-through world, with old friends and new friends, decoy villains and real villains, Echo technology that seems like magic, a hunt for clues in an ancient book, and a passage through an icy lake into a secret land that holds the key to placing the Prince on the throne and returning justice to the land.  

The manuscript is 267 double-spaced pages and can be sold as a stand-alone, although sequels are possible.  I am currently looking for literary representation.
