"Two boys. Two shadows. One chance to fix one another." _________________ "A friendship that goes beyond brotherhood. One that explains cries. And pain. And smiles. And silence." _________________ [Disclaimer: This is not a gay novel..] After death opened his eyes, Raven started noticing the invisible. Raven was always the quiet one-observant, thoughtful, content to drift through high school unnoticed. But after losing his best friend to suicide, and then his own brother to guilt, Raven carrie the weight of what he didn't see. What he couldn't stop. So now, he watches. That's when he notices Devon-silent, sharp-edged, and unreachable. No one talks to him. No one sees him. Not really. Not until Raven is paired with him for a project, and curiosity gives way to something stronger: determination. Devon is the kind of boy people whisper about but never approach. Silent, bruised, always sketching shadows he won't explain. He doesn't fight back. He doesn't speak up. He doesn't need to-his silence says enough. Raven is everything Devon is not. Star athlete, top of his class, everyone's favorite. The golden boy. But behind the perfect smile and perfect grades, Raven is suffocating. From expectations. From pain. From the weight of keeping everything together while slowly falling apart. Unlike Raven, Devon doesn't want help. Doesn't want to be known. But Raven isn't here to fix him-he just wants to make sure no one else slips through the cracks. And when their worlds collide, it's anything but gentle. What starts as an unspoken curiosity becomes something more-a magnetic pull neither of them can understand, or control. But as secrets rise and silence grows heavier, Raven must choose: stay the golden boy everyone wants, or step into the storm Devon carries just beneath his skin. A quiet, haunting story about loss, survival, and the kind of friendship that doesn't need saving-only presence.

Reyansh Kashyap - a man who despises women and trusts no one.

She ran from the past. But the past never stopped chasing her. Persephone Darcy Quinn knows what it means to live in shadows.

Two years later, Persephone has built a fragile peace in America, living quietly as a babysitter for two mischievous siblings. To them, she's just the girl who laughs at their jokes and makes their favorite pasta. To Louis Hunt-their older brother, distant and unreadable-she's nothing more than a quiet presence in his house. But shadows don't stay buried. A phone call. A familiar name. A ghost from Ireland she thought she'd outrun. And suddenly, Persephone's new life isn't so safe anymore. Caught between the storm of her past and the fragile hope of a future she doesn't dare believe in, Persephone finds herself pulled toward Louis in ways she never expected. He's steady where she's scattered, silent where she hides, and far too dangerous to her carefully guarded heart. Because falling in love was never part of the plan. But then again, neither was survival. **Book 3 of the Hunt Series. (Standalone.)**
