The Silence of Lir

Book 1 of the Saga of the Spheres series

Behind the scenes of our spinning earth are keepers of the elements who make sure that tornados don't destroy cities, fires don't ravage forests, earthquakes don't decimate towns, and floods don't take out humanity. They wrestle with the natural elements to ensure that the world keeps spinning smoothly on its axis.

Since the beginning of time, the Sun has been fading, and the light that shines on the earth is dimming, causing the elements to be more volatile and impossible for the keepers to control.
