When the Midnight Bell Tolls

By Maeve Greyson

When the Midnight Bell Tolls

Grudges among the living steal their joy. Grudges among the dead create eternal rage.

Chieftain Grant Reddoch and his lovely wife Lyla consider themselves more than a little blessed until the clan installs a bell in the newly built church tower honoring the birth of their twins. Whenever the new bell tolls at midnight, unrest fills Eadar Keep. Their infants become inconsolable, doors repeatedly open, then slam shut, and furniture tips over and tumbles across rooms.

Grant orders the bell silenced, but the eerie midnight tolling doesn't cease and neither does the malevolent spirit. It roams the corridors every night, growing bolder and more maniacal. The Reddochs refuse to run. A Scot never relinquishes their ancestral home without a fight. But the attacks become more focused, targeting Lyla and the children. When the clan priest cannot oust the spirit, the Reddochs fear all is lost.

But where evil lurks, goodness often follows. Eternity demands balance. Without light, there can be no darkness. Without darkness, light becomes blinding. But which side of the eternal scale will triumph at Eadar Keep? And can the Reddochs survive the battle?
