She hears them.Dr. Wren Castellan sees the world in colors and sounds no one else can perceive - and this time, the case is personal in a way she never expected.Eleven years ago, fifteen-year-old Emily Radner vanished from a quiet Ohio town, dismissed as a runaway and quietly forgotten. When Director Ellen Voss finally hands Wren the case, she leaves out one detail: Emily is her niece.Paired again with Agent Marcus Reyes, Wren digs into a disappearance that was never what it seemed - a stepfather too smooth to trust, a decades-old grave nobody thought to look for, and a pattern of quiet cruelty stretching back further than anyone imagined. The deeper Wren looks, the more the case starts to sound like her own sister's - the one she's never stopped listening for.Because sometimes silence isn't defeat. Sometimes it's the only way out.
