Some screams don't echo. They sink.
After surviving what she was never supposed to, Hanna Nowack is a ghost in her own life. Her mind fractured by memories and nightmares she can no longer distinguish from reality, she moves through the days in silence-present on the surface, disappearing from the inside out.
One man refuses to let her vanish.
Steady where others have faltered, he builds a sanctuary around her, standing guard against the darkness that followed her home. But not every threat comes from outside the walls, and duty doesn't stop at the door.
Across state lines, a killer known only as The Fixer is leaving behind ritualized bodies and cryptic messages, pulling him further from home with every passing day. As the case grows darker and the distance between them widens, the fragile ground Hanna has fought to stand on begins to crack.
In a race against time, every petal that falls is a warning.
And the last one has already begun to fall.
The Scream from Within is the third book in Sophia Zane's The Lies That Bind Us series-a gripping, emotionally charged psychological thriller about survival, obsession, and the devastating cost of silence.
