Gwendolen Mary Bell has just moved to Eden, a sleepy little Midwestern town, with her mother and her younger brother, Ben, to start afresh after her parent's divorce.

What if Harry Potter never became the Boy Who Lived, the hero destined to save the world? What if the years of cruelty under the Dursleys didn't harden his heart into resilience, but twisted it into something darker? Abused and unwanted, Harry learns early how to lie, to manipulate, to act the part the world demands, all while nurturing a quiet, venomous hatred for the Muggles who raised him. When he enters the wizarding world, he discovers not salvation but a mirror of himself in Lord Voldemort. Bonded by similar childhoods and a shared contempt for Muggles, Harry joins him, not as a follower, but as an equal. Behind the mask of the Golden Boy, he becomes a nameless assassin whispered of in fear, wielding his cunning and power to reshape the world. Together, he and Voldemort hatch a chilling vision: to tear Muggleborn children from their families, raising them to know only magic and strength. In this world, the Dark Lord isn't just one man, he has an heir. And the Wizarding World may never recover.

A character lies to survive socially or emotionally-until the lie becomes truth.

Before Eliana Brooks stopped praying, she believed with her whole heart. She believed God listened. She believed prayer could protect the people she loved. She believed faith meant safety. Then one prayer went unanswered. Before the Silence tells the story Eliana never shared-the night that shattered her faith, the loss she begged God to prevent, and the quiet unraveling that followed. As grief settles in and guilt begins to grow, Eliana wrestles with a God who feels distant, a church that offers answers she can't accept, and a pain too heavy to carry alone. This is not a story about losing God. It's about believing so deeply that when heaven goes quiet, the silence breaks you. A faith-based novel about grief, unanswered prayers, and the moment belief turns into doubt-Before the Silence is the emotional companion to When God Speaks in the Silence, revealing the wound before the healing ever began.

After the night that shattered her faith, Eliana Brooks stops praying. Once known for her unwavering belief, Eliana now walks through life numb-going through the motions, avoiding church, and questioning whether God ever listened at all. When she's forced to return to her hometown for the summer, memories resurface, wounds reopen, and the silence she's been running from grows louder. But God has never stopped speaking. Through unexpected friendships, quiet moments, and a faith she thought she lost forever, Eliana begins to realize that sometimes God's loudest answers come when everything feels unbearably still. This is a story about falling apart-and discovering that even in the silence, you were never alone.
