When the Owl Sings

Sometimes it’s impossible to tell the difference between a gift and a curse until it’s the only thing between life and death. 

An ambitious and dynamic debut novel, When the Owl Sings centers around Mason Rhimes, a journalist whose ominous dreams hold the key that links him to an ancient Maya civilization that disappeared without a trace. Still reeling from the death of his fiancée, Mason sets out on a personal quest to find answers to the foreboding and spine-chilling events that torture him nightly. Mason’s path will lead him to a town where nothing is as it appears, and where he quickly becomes an unwitting participant in a web of deceit and lies.

As clues are gathered and answers revealed, Mason learns of a plot that threatens the entire nation; his visionary gift, which has been a part of him for so long, may serve a higher purpose after all.
