The Broken Song

Deep in the red-rock wilderness of Southern Utah—just beyond the familiar cliffs of Zion National Park—something ancient is stirring beneath Kolob Canyon. After uncovering a mysterious glowing seam in Book One, Jace North and his friends think the danger is behind them. But when tremors shake the canyon and a strange hum echoes through the stone, they discover that the Heartstone, an ancient relic hidden by a covenant people long forgotten, is far from whole.Guided by Silas's century-old journal, the kids follow clues through abandoned mines, hidden chambers, and secret trails only locals know—flying across slickrock on four-wheelers, chasing light that moves like water, and facing an echoing force twisted by a broken shard of the Heartstone. When Jace's younger sister Lily begins hearing the canyon sing, the group realizes the fragment isn't just damaged—it's calling.And something dangerous is answering back.Set against the unmatched beauty of Utah's red-rock desert, this adventure blends modern excitement with hints of ancient faith, frontier prophecy, and the whispered legacy of a people who once guarded sacred light. Perfect for readers who love thrilling mysteries, family-friendly clean fiction, LDS-themed symbolism, and outdoor adventures that feel pulled straight from the backcountry of Zion.As the canyon awakens, the kids must decide whether to walk away...or step into a calling older than the cliffs themselves.The Broken Song continues The Stoneguard Chronicles, a fast-paced YA series filled with adventure, Utah wilderness lore, subtle spiritual meaning, and the kind of heart that keeps readers turning pages late into the night.
