A Song of Death

Quiet is the loudest warning.The lake at the edge of Nora's new home is perfectly round, unnaturally beautiful, and utterly silent. But in the shadowed valleys of the Transylvanian mountains, quiet is not peace-it is a warning.When Nora's twin brother Eric vanishes beneath its placid surface, the silence becomes a scream. The official search finds nothing, but Nora knows he's still there, trapped. Her investigation into the lake's dark history uncovers whispers of a vengeful guardian of an ancient treasure and traces of doomed Cold War expeditions that disappeared without a trace.Now, as another ruthless organization ravages the mountains in search of the treasure, the evil stirs again. To free her brother, Nora must resurrect ancient rituals buried in forgotten lore-and confront the evil in the one place it holds all the power: the lake.But the creature lurking beneath the waters has been singing its song of death for millennia-and it has never returned a soul it claimed."A distinctive and memorable novel... The blend of Romanian mythology, history, and personal tragedy gives the story a unique identity, without relying on familiar horror tropes." - 4.5/5 Stars, Xena Morgan, TBR Book Festival, UK
