"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?

　　After Lucy’s words, I had not expected Llaluna to be this polite, but there I was, in her kitchen where she was making a cup of tea for each of us.


　　“Please sit. I don’t like it when people stand like this. It disrupts the energy in my home,” Llaluna said as she set down the cups of steaming tea in front of us.


　　I immediately sat down. I have learned that with Llaluna it might be better to be polite and sit down. Especially before Lucy starts screaming at her again. I want to be out of the way before a fist fight starts up.


　　I pulled the hot cup of tea closer and smelled at the fumes coming from the cup. Rosemary. Not something I have ever had, but it is a smell I know. Sam loves using rosemary when he cooks chicken.


　　“Don’t drink it,” Lucy said as I brought the cup to my lips. “You never know what spell this witch has put on the tea.”
