The Silence and The Song
For three hundred years, Isla has been trapped on an island at the edge of the world, cursed to kill anyone who hears her sing. She's counted every death-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine souls-because the man who cursed her made a promise: ten thousand, and she'd be free.
Then a shipwreck brings Ember to her shore.
Ember lost her hearing five years ago, the night her husband's fist connected with her temple for the last time. She was running from him when the storm took her ship. She should have died with the rest of the crew-drowned by the siren's song like everyone else.
But Ember can't hear the voice that kills. And for the first time in three centuries, Isla is face-to-face with someone she cannot hurt.
What begins as survival becomes something neither expected. Two women building a language from nothing-hands shaping words, touch replacing sound, silence becoming a bridge instead of a barrier. Two survivors learning that the things that were done to them don't have to define what comes next.
But the man who cursed Isla has been watching. And he's not finished with her yet.
The freedom he promised was always a lie. The real price is something far worse. And now Ember-the one person Isla can't kill-is exactly the weapon he needs to break her completely.
The Siren's Silence is a sapphic fantasy romance about the languages we build to find each other, the men who try to own what isn't theirs, and the women who refuse to let them win.
