In the year 2035, the hum returns.
To some, it’s only an anomaly, a low vibration felt beneath the streets of San Francisco Bay. To others, it’s a calling. For Deborah Carroway, a trauma nurse worn down by years of loss, the hum stirs something deeper: a memory she doesn’t possess, a song she once knew before birth.
When a child drowns beneath the Bay Bridge and reappears in her dreams as a luminous being called Lumen, Deborah’s ordinary world fractures. Science, faith, and sanity blur as she crosses paths with Father Raines, a priest haunted by prophecy, and Detective Jonas Reeve, a skeptic investigating ritual deaths that defy reason.
But beneath every question lies one truth, something ancient is awakening, and the balance between silence and song has begun to tilt.
From hospital corridors to dreamscapes of light and shadow, One Step Is Heaven follows Deborah’s descent into the world between worlds, where echoes remember, and silence is never empty.
The first book of The Codex Of Unfallen trilogy begins where belief ends, and where one step might lead beyond heaven itself.
