The world, gripped by strange tremors, leads the Carlyle family—Mark, Sarah, Lily, and Ethan—to a secluded forest. There, they are frozen, witnessing Umbra, the Weaver of Change, battle a cosmic regression as the Aether surges back into Earth, threatening to unravel reality. Surviving this, they meet Enoch, an ancient Watcher. He reveals Umbra bestowed upon them The Cadence's Echo, amplifying their innate connections to the Aether's Bronze (Lily's magic), Iron (Ethan and Sarah's psychic abilities), and Silver (Sarah's prophetic visions) strands. This profound transformation also physically re-patterned them, granting new resilience. While Sarah grapples with an inherited rage from her temporal visions, and Mark's own powers remain a mystery, the family faces their extraordinary new reality just as Sarah and Ethan return from a perilous journey.
It's going to be a long novel it seems and the first few chapter are pretty much world building.
