A disgraced architect. A crumbling sanctuary. A foundation built on a secret.

Caleb Vance was once a world-class architect at the top of Chicago’s high-rise scene. Now, he is a ghost of his former self, stranded in the rural valley of Grace Creek with nothing but a toolbox and a past he cannot outrun. When his car breaks down near a leaning 19th-century church, his professional eye sees a structural disaster waiting to happen. To the world, the building is a hazard; to Caleb, it is a mirror of his own broken life.

Eliza Miller is fighting a war on two fronts. She is struggling to save her family’s historic chapel from a developer’s wrecking ball while the very earth beneath the pulpit seems to be turning to mire. When she meets Caleb, she doesn't find a savior—she finds a man who speaks in math and physics, a man who believes that "stress plus heat equals failure" is a universal law

The clock is ticking. With only fourteen days before the town council’s demolition order takes effect, Caleb and Eliza must form an unlikely partnership. To save the sanctuary, they must look beyond the rotting timber and peeling paint to unearth secrets buried beneath the limestone before time runs out.

As they navigate the "Physics of the Eternal," Caleb and Eliza discover that the strongest foundations aren't built with stone and mortar—they are built on faith, truth, and the courage to start again.
