The Whispered Secret, previously published as Leven Thumps and the Whispered Secret is a fantasy novel by Obert Skye that traces the journeys of Leven, a seemingly ordinary boy from Burnt Culvert, Oklahoma, and Winter Frore, a neglected girl, as they seek to bring Geth back to his former state.
After escaping a deranged dream-master and destroying the hidden gateway, Leven Thumps and his band of travelers must now journey across Foo and restore Geth from his shape as a toothpick to the rightful king he once was.
But Foo is still in chaos, and Leven must overcome several adversaries and survive the Swollen Forest in order to save his friends and keep hope alive.
Bad goes to worse as Leven digs up a long buried secret - one that stalks him, determined to whisper a truth that could be deadly in the wrong hands.
Through it all, Leven finds the courage to do what is right and continues to discover an inner strength and a power he never thought possible.
Leven is often called Lev, and his eyes burn gold when he uses his gift.
His new parents wouldn't stand to hear Leven talk or fuss.
He enjoyed counting stars and tracing long branches of the tree that was Geth.
Since Addy had been terrified of Leven's possible friends coming to steal from her, Leven had been forbidden to hang around with other kids, so he had been alone for a long time - until he met Clover, which was the first domino in a set of dominoes that were adventures in his life.
Before she had been born, Winter's father had left months ago, and her mother wasn't exactly overjoyed with her child.
She runs away with Leven, Geth, and Clover to the mystical world of Foo.
She also has a burning love for Leven that is thoroughly recognized when they accidentally let a longing lose.
His soul was placed into a seed of a Fantrum tree by Sabine and was left for the birds, but Antsel rescued him and took him to our world.
He was formed into a toothpick after the seed he was in grew into a tree, and was cut down by Leven Thumps "father".
In the book one, Sabine was blown into little bits and pieces, with one half in Foo and the other in Reality.
At the end of the book, however, Leven is told a secret that may be the key to killing sycophants.
Sycophants wear silver robes at all times, this gives them the power to turn invisible when the hood is pulled up.
It continues to amaze Leven every time Clover pulls more and more things out of this "void".
He just happened to have one messed up life, yet he runs into Geth's evil half, Ezra.
Tatum Company cut Geth's soul in half, and so his angry evil side was transferred into another toothpick.
Their mission is to preserve the real Foo, and its place as a modifier of dreams.
Winter Frore and Sabine are examples of nits, and they both can control ice.
Rants are offspring from nits, that were born with too little character to manipulate dreams successfully.
They only partially arrive, since their bodies and souls stay on Earth feeling like they are missing something.
