Marriage was supposed to last forever, for Marcy Blake, it became something else entirely. From the outside, her life looked perfect. A devoted husband. A beautiful home. A future carefully built together. But behind closed doors, the cracks began to show—small at first, almost easy to ignore.

Silence isn't always peaceful–it can be deadly. Zoë has spent her life drowning in shadows she can't escape. When the whispers in her head become a voice–Noxx, charming, dangerous, and unrelenting–she's force to confront the darkest parts of herself. As her reality blurs with obsession...

Alora has spent most of her life carrying her battles in silence, convincing herself she wasn't meant for the softness she admired in others..

There’s a moment you don’t notice when it happens, a quiet shift where everything begins to slip just enough that you can still convince yourself you’re in control. It doesn’t feel like falling at first. It feels manageable. Temporary. Like something you can fix before it turns into something worse.
