What Harmony Forgot

She is forty-two, exceptionally good at what she does, and not remotely interested in starting over.

Cassia Alarian has spent thirty years mastering resonance: the ability to perceive the forces moving through buildings, communities, and people, and to restore harmony when those forces fall out of balance.

She isn't a chosen one discovering her powers. She's already a master of them.

Which makes it particularly inconvenient when a new machine begins accomplishing in hours what has taken her a lifetime to learn.

Worse, the machine works remarkably well.

Only Cassia senses what its perfect results seem to be missing.

Finding an explanation means leaving the certainty of her profession behind and traveling with Tristan Naveran, a forty-seven-year-old builder whose expertise is very different from hers, and whose company gradually becomes far more important than either anticipated.

Their investigation leads toward old structures, contradictory records, and a history of resonance that does not resemble the one Cassia has spent her life studying.

And the more she learns, the more unsettling the question becomes:

What if the machine isn't misunderstanding harmony?

What if everyone else already did?
