The prologue and first chapter of
Crescendo
By Becca Fitzpatrick
Available October 19, 2010
Prologue
Coldwater, Maine
Fourteen months ago
The fingers of the thorn-apple tree clawed at the windowpane behind Harrison Grey,
and he dog-eared his page, no longer able to read through the racket.
A furious spring
wind had hurled itself against the farmhouse all night, howling and whistling, causing
the shutters to slam against the clapboards with a repetitive bang! bang! bang!The
calendar may have been turned to March, but Harrison knew better than to think
spring was on its way.
With a storm blowing in, he wouldn’t be surprised to find the
countryside frozen in icy whiteness by morning.
To drown out the wind’s piercing cry,
Harrison punched the remote, turning up Bononcini’s “Ombra mai fu.
” Then he set
another log on the fire, asking himself, not for the first time, if he would have bought
the farmhouse had he known how much fuel it took to warm one little room, let alone
all nine.
