Where the Shadows Whisper
His mother vanished in a single pulse of light.
The whole town went silent with her.
When Ethan Whitaker falls into the cold bay during an attack on Port Haven, he should have drowned. Instead, he surfaces into a village emptied of voices, footsteps, and life.
The docks are deserted. The market is abandoned. His mother's sweater lies in the square, dusted with strange gray residue.
And Ethan is alone.
At first, survival is all that matters. Food. Water. Shelter. Light. A way to signal for help. But Port Haven is not as empty as it seems. Someone is watching from the forest. Someone has moved through the library, the market, and the houses Ethan searched. Someone knows why the water saved him.
The attack was not a bombing. It was an experiment.
And the weapon may not be finished.
As Ethan follows the clues his mother left behind and the signs hidden in Port Haven's old emergency shelters, he uncovers a terrifying truth: water may be the only protection against a force that can erase people where they stand.
But the stranger in the woods knows more than he says, and Ethan must decide whether to trust the enemy who may have helped destroy his town, or face the next pulse alone.
