Publisher Description

*** Watty's 2022 Winner for Fantasy ***

Unlock the power of music, magic, and memory...

Since the first secret was lost, the Narrowers have collected and stored every forgotten hope, promise, and memory in a boundless dimension known as the Narrowing Vent.

Now, in a time of great change and unease, where faith is forbidden and policed from the shadows, twelve-year-old Sadie Madison learns of the Narrowers in a fanciful bedtime story. Stirred by the tale, Sadie performs a haunting piano melody, unheard for an age. The mysterious music possesses her best friend, exposes dark family secrets, and sparks the flame of belief once more. But echoes of the melody ripple through the Narrowing Vent. Whispers gather of a child whose power can manipulate every forgotten hope, promise, and memory.

Afraid to endure alone, Sadie forges a strange companion from stardust and shadow. Can they work together to release Sadie's best friend, untangle the Madison family history, and evade the Narrowers, before an awakening evil steals her incredible power for his own?

His Dark Materials meets The Mortal Engines in Neil J Hart's award-winning supernatural fantasy adventure where the fabric of reality is threatened by those who would give their lives to glimpse the past and kill to save the future.

“"Hypnotic Worlds Await in Neil J Hart's Spellbinding Tale" " Sadie Madison and the Boy in the Crimson Scarf" by Neil J Hart is the first installment in the magical dark fantasy series The Madison Chronicles . It cast its spell on me from the very beginning and held me enthralled until the mind-blowing ending, leaving me desperately craving the sequel. "Music filled the room with heat and colour. It pirouetted through the air and into her heart." Sadie Madison's melodies are as powerful and irresistible as her creator's whimsical writing. With each stroke of his pen, Neil J Hart sweeps readers away to an enthralling dark world brimming with mystery, magic, and adventure. His characters, barely contained by the pages, whisper a mesmerizing tale that will linger in the minds of readers longer than they dare to imagine. In this alluring installment, Neil J Hart has created a journey that goes beyond the ordinary realm of fantasy. This is not merely a story but an invitation to an unforgettable adventure. Dive into this tale and let your imagination take flight.”

“Not only did this book suck me in from the beginning, it kept my attention throughout the entire story. I loved all the characters too. Sadie is probably the best character. Her age is almost irrelevant. She makes decisions that I expected of her age, but her curiosity and tenacity had me hooked from page to page. The plot and secrets unraveled beautifully. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I look forward to more from this author and series.”
