The Echoes of Darkness
Prologue In her sleep, Sarah experienced every night being in front of a huge, deserted expanse of a desert. Above her the sky remained the deep indigo of an almost-night, punctuated by the sickly light of the false dawn that bleached the dunes an ethereal white. Every grain of sand, moved by unnoticeable winds, bore centuries on its back, whispering legends of ruined cities and vanished hopes. As the twilight approached, the wind stopped and even the faintest sound was heard, an eerie feeling came over Sarah. Here she was, at the end of the earth and all alone, looking into the world which seemed to have no space for time.
