"People think silence means there's nothing inside you. But silence is where I hide everything I can't survive saying out loud." Fourteen-year-old Aluna Amari has only ever trusted one person: her father, who raised her alone after her mother abandoned her. But when he's diagnosed with cancer, Aluna is forced to move in with the mother she hasn't spoken to in years. What she doesn't expect is that her mother is engaged to Andrei Petrov-a cold, feared Russian mafia boss-and that his home comes with six ruthless sons who see Aluna as nothing but an unwanted inconvenience. A silent little "freak" their father's fiancée brought into their world. Another thing about Aluna is that she is selectively mute, trapped in a house full of danger, secrets, and people who don't want her there. And as her father's medical bills pile up, she realizes she may be the only one who can save him. The only voice she has left... is music. Because hidden behind her silence is something no one expects: Aluna is a musical prodigy-and music is the only language that's ever made her feel alive. It's her escape. Her weapon. Her prayer. And in a world ruled by violence, power, and secrets... the quietest girl in the room may be the one who changes everything.
