"Book #1 in the Silence Series
Elijah is no ordinary boy. In fact, he is as different from what a normal boy could possibly be.

  When Blake walks into Elijah's silent world, the sound starts forming around Elijah's mouth; and he speaks for the first time in four years.
  Will Blake still love Elijah after hearing everything that Elijah has listened to but never spoke about all those years, or will he get the hell out of dodge as his instincts scream?
