THE VOID HAS AWAKENED.Anna Ashworth Holmes is only twelve years old when the silver mask on her mantel begins to glow with an amber light that hasn't pulsed since Eleanor Holmes spoke the Progenitor's true name. The hunger that her grandmother sealed in the Mirror of Justice was never truly destroyed—it was merely sleeping. And now it is waking.But the hunger is not what Anna expected.It is not a curse. It is a voice. A consciousness older than the Progenitor, older than Helena, older than the Ashworth line itself. It calls itself Echo, and it has been waiting for millennia for a vessel strong enough to contain it. Anna is that vessel.Joined by her sisters—Vivienne, who was imprisoned by her own sister Marguerite, and Isabelle, who was raised by Echo herself—Anna must embark on a journey that will take her from the quiet hills of Sussex to the catacombs of Paris, from the ruins of Vienna to the heart of London's shadowy Diogenes Club. Along the way, she will confront the truth about the hunger, the void, and the shadow that lurks in every human heart.THE TRUTH IS DEVASTATING.Echo is not a separate entity. She is the collective emptiness that exists in every soul—the loneliness, the fear, the despair that haunts humanity. She cannot be destroyed. She can only be transformed. And the only way to transform her is to fill the void with love on a global scale.Anna cannot do this alone. She must reach out to the world, show them the truth, and inspire them to choose love over emptiness. The fate of humanity rests on a twelve-year-old girl who must convince the world that hope is possible—even in the darkest moments.WELCOME TO THE SHATTERED VOID.This is the seventh book in the acclaimed Sherlock Holmes – Mirror of Justice series, written by Tyler Swanson.
