For generations, ancient borders have preserved Crybella’s way of life. Eight clans. Eight extraordinary abilities. Eight sacred relics that must never be brought together.
Then the land quakes, and Ashe Healstone uncovers a mystery left behind by his legendary ancestor – Jome. But as Ashe is drawn toward Jome’s clues, he is chosen for a mission that demands his loyalty and threatens to pull him in another direction.
Meanwhile, Ashe’s younger brother, Hale, has always felt like an outsider – even within his own clan. Determined to prove that he belongs, Hale embarks on an adventure of his own.
Neither brother realizes their separate journeys are carrying them toward the same destination – where a quest that could change Crybella forever is only beginning.

Will Kleman grew up in Landenberg, Pennsylvania, where he spent his childhood with his family and rescue dogs. A recent graduate of Villanova University, Will is passionate about writing, sports, music, movies, and spending time with his family, girlfriend, and friends.
The inspiration for Will’s debut novel struck during a family game night. The game challenged everyone to invent the name of a fictional world and its main characters, then pitch an idea for a book set there. Will imagined the land of Crybella, sparking a creative journey as he went on to develop the story and music of Bygones. Bygones, Volume I: Jome’s Secret is coming soon and will introduce readers to the mysterious land of Crybella and the intrigue Will has spent years bringing to life.
Watching Will craft this incredible world over the past four years has been nothing short of amazing. The music, depth of character development, and vivid landscapes of Crybella have completely drawn me in, making it a place I feel like I truly know. I’ve grown attached to the people, the lands, and the adventures within these pages, and I can’t wait for the next book and soundtrack!
