A Prayer for the Winter Gears

After the war but before the healing was a Doll with a promise held close to her heart... There once was a girl, who waited patiently for a confession in a town with no past. There once was a boy, whose pleading eyes hid a terrible secret. In an alley where nobody entered, in a church everyone forgot, the two found themselves tied by a few simple words from long ago. Forgotten promises, dark confessions, and a string of murders all intertwine a tearful mystery set in the snowy shadows of night.
