{ "item_title" : "The Promise Beneath the River", "item_author" : [" Edwards "], "item_description" : "At the edge of Oakhaven, where the Bridge of Geth stretches across the unfathomable Void Chasm, a legend promises passage to the innocent and condemns the wicked to the abyss. For generations, the Church has taught that only those possessing true purity can cross the ancient bridge and enter the mysterious realm beyond. But when Lucian Ashford, a royal inspector, arrives to investigate the bridge's strange power, he discovers that the truth behind its sacred reputation is far more disturbing than anyone dares to imagine.Claire Bennett, a devoted novice, has spent her life believing that faith and goodness will earn her passage. Yet the bridge rejects her, forcing Lucian to question everything he has been told. As he searches for answers, he uncovers forgotten records, forbidden secrets, and evidence that the Church's teachings may conceal a terrible deception. With the help of Dorian Blackwell, an old mason who knows the bridge's hidden history, Lucian begins to piece together the stories of those who have approached its edge, each carrying a burden that cannot be measured by simple judgments of virtue and sin.The deeper Lucian investigates, the more the mystery becomes personal. Strange details about his own existence trouble him, while the boundary between the living and the dead grows increasingly uncertain. The bridge does not judge souls according to the rules people have accepted for centuries. Instead, it responds to something far more complicated: the ties that bind people to the world, the promises they leave unfinished, and the truths they refuse to face.As buried histories emerge and the carefully guarded myths surrounding the Bridge of Geth begin to collapse, Lucian must confront the possibility that his investigation has been leading him toward a revelation about himself all along. The answers he seeks will challenge his understanding of life, death, faith, and the meaning of being worthy of passage.Dark, atmospheric, and filled with unsettling revelations, The Promise Beneath the River is a fantasy mystery about forgotten obligations, hidden histories, and the fragile line between the living world and what lies beyond it. In a place where innocence offers no guarantee and guilt does not tell the whole story, one question remains: what truly determines who may cross-and what happens when the bridge finally reveals the truth?", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/818/289/9798182899925_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "16.99", "online_price" : "16.99", "our_price" : "16.99", "club_price" : "16.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
