Summer Chronicles

Sold into slavery to pirates at the young age of four, Summer learns to survive the rough seas of subterfuge and thieves through silence. When the boat she's lived on most of her life is destroyed, Summer finds herself washed up on the shore of a new world, a phantom universe full of the bizarre and extraordinary. She meets Gage, the one boy who understands the girl with no speech. But when their lives are put on the line, will Summer finally call out? Or will all be lost in the fathomless depth of silence?

The Secret Clock Society has infiltrated every aspect of the government. You can't hide from them, you can't out run them - the only choice is to surrender or die fighting. Well, Summer's found her voice and her confidence. She'll fight if necessary, but for now she's on the run. And the only place that can offer her refuge is the one city that's been devastated with disease and death. Full of savages, Forsaken Harbor holds her life on the edge of a knife. Is there still hope to be found here after all? Or will survival mean savagery?
