CICADA MAN: THE TREE THAT SANG (Book 1)
They hear him before they see him.
Long before the world learned to bury its sins, a man named Josiah Reed walked with balance, discipline, and quiet power. But when envy, shame, and fear collided, four men made a choice that would echo across generations-they took his life and left him hanging between earth and sky for forty-five days.
They thought it ended there.
They were wrong.
Given a chance to return, Josiah accepts a spiritual contract: collect the souls of every descendant tied to his murder and return them to the spirit world.
But justice comes with a cost.
As the bloodline begins to fall-one death at a time-something else grows. Something older than revenge. Something that listens before it moves.
In the modern world, the first descendants begin to hear the sound.
Cicadas.
At first faint.
Then closer.
Then inside them.
As investigators, witnesses, and survivors begin to connect the pattern, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:
This is not just vengeance.
This is collection.
And once the sound calls your name...
it's already too late.
