In the forgotten towns and sprawling megachurches of America’s heartland, a movement had been growing in the shadows, waiting for its moment.

A Crack in the Circle
It had been buried beneath old receipts and broken cables, forgotten in the back of Alex’s desk drawer. She almost tossed it aside, just another piece of junk left behind in a world that no longer existed. But something stopped her. A whisper in the back of her mind. A ghost of his voice.
