Some secrets are buried in silence. Others refuse to stay hidden.

Elara never expected a knock on her neighbor’s door to change everything. But when Liam—silent, guarded, and wrapped in mystery—hands her a note instead of speaking, she realizes his silence holds more than unspoken words. It holds a past he cannot outrun.

A forgotten journal. A map leading to a place that shouldn’t exist. A door buried in the earth—waiting to be opened. As Elara and Liam follow the clues, the shadows around them stir, whispering of something lost… and something that wants to be found.
What happens when you listen to the silence?

You hear the things that were never meant to be spoken.

A year had passed since the night they opened the door in the earth. A year since they uncovered the truth buried in forgotten journals and cryptic maps. But some answers had only led to more questions—especially about Liam. He spoke now, but rarely, his voice careful, measured, like a man testing the strength of fragile ice beneath his feet.
