When her mother dies, Marisolé Valenya returns to the cliffside home she tried to forget-a house filled with static, silence, and something breathing beneath the floor. What begins as grief becomes awakening when the hum in the walls starts speaking her name. The voice calls itself Rootfire, the living memory of her witch bloodline-an ancient current of language and flame passed through generations of women who remembered the world before silence. As the veil between past and present fractures, Marisolé uncovers her mother's recordings-tapes labeled SILENCE-and realizes each one contains fragments of ancestral speech. Guided by the mysterious Archivist and haunted by her mother's voice, she crosses through mirrors and light into the first of five ancestral realms: the Houses of Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit. Each one holds a relic of her heritage, and each demands something in return. But she is not the only one listening. In the spaces between heartbeats waits Zharek the Unbinder, a fallen Keeper who seeks to consume the Rootfire's song and rewrite creation in silence. To stop him, Marisolé must reclaim her full lineage-body, voice, and magic-and remember the language that dreamed her into being. Rootfire is a lyrical psychological fantasy about ancestry, grief, and the thin line between remembrance and rebirth-a myth whispered through soil, static, and flame. "I am all that remembered me."
