The Silver Cord

By Jaime deBlanc

An obsessed young woman must uncover the cause of her sister's inexplicable death in an otherworldly thriller about memory, childhood imagination, and the nature of reality.

Ever since the unexplainable death of Elise Lawson's sister, Jade, Elise has built an internal wall that keeps her grief at bay. But after four years of maintaining the facade that everything is fine--at college with her sorority sisters and at home with her parents--Elise still can't let go.

In childhood, Elise and Jade's games of Pretend forged an unbreakable bond between them as they created magical worlds together. When Elise discovers a box of Jade's belongings, including books on astral projection and Egyptian death rituals, odd synchronicities occur. Elise starts to experience debilitating headaches, unnerving visions, and the persistent sense that Jade is nearby.

Elise is beginning to believe that what happened to Jade wasn't the end of her life and that their childhood games weren't pretend after all. Following the signs wherever they lead, Elise sets out on a frightening journey where everything is at stake: her sister, her sanity, and her life.
