Beschreibung
For a thousand years, its seven districts have stood on what everyone believed was bedrock-the petrified remains of ancient stone monsters defeated long ago. Children grew up learning the story. Priests repeated it from the pulpit. No one thought to question it. >When a catastrophic tremor tears through Arkan's poorest district, sixteen-year-old Kael loses everything he's spent his life protecting. A priest's daughter named Lyra arrives with secrets she's been carrying for years. A street thief called Finn follows a trail of ancient symbols no one else can read. And a quiet orphan named Nara has been hearing voices from beneath the city since she was six years old-voices she was told weren't real. >Inside the giants, they discover living heart chambers the size of cathedrals. Rivers of glowing light. A thousand years of memories pressed into the walls. And a truth that changes every single thing they thought they knew about the city they call home: the giants are not dead. They are fully conscious. They feel every footstep above them. They have felt the mining drills for three centuries. They have been awake, aware, and waiting. >Kael, Lyra, Finn, and Nara are Arkan's living anchors the emotional foundation of a prison built not from stone, but from hope. Their bond is what keeps the giants still. Their trust is what keeps the city standing. And their friendship, they now discover, was engineered from the beginning. As betrayals surface and the group fractures, the giants begin to stir. More tremors. More districts collapsing. Millions of innocent people-people who did not choose to be born on stolen suffering-now depend on a prison that is crumbling in real time. The choice they face is the most brutal kind: free beings who have suffered for a thousand years, and destroy the city that millions call home. Or restore the prison-with open eyes this time-and find a way to live with what that means. But the only way to save Arkan is to do something that now feels impossible. >The Price of Hope. is a YA fantasy novella about trust, inherited guilt, and the terrifying bravery of staying when leaving would be easier. a story of magic with emotional weight, friendships that cost something, and endings that ask hard questions.
