Words give little away, but silence speaks for itself. Even though silence may be the best course of action, sometimes it leaves us oblivious, which can have dire consequences. Sometimes you question what you know: is everything really as it seems? 
 
The whole world was like a twisted cage that trapped one within. But Lyra never felt trapped - she was a survivor and a fighter. However, when the world turns against her, leaving her all alone, she swears to make whoever is responsible pay. The people she meets start to disappear, except for Lincoln. She grows suspicious of Lincoln, she feels like he is hiding something and wants to uncover his secret.
 
When the two really start examining the world together, dark secrets unveil and they realise; silence is never an option. The world is only silent when something is hidden within.

[Vᴏʟᴜᴍᴇ 1 - Cᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇ] Evelyn White was born with a gift - or rather, a curse: the first time she touches someone, she sees when and how that person dies. Meeting new people is sickening. Walking through a crowd is hell. Not to mention that when she opens her big mouth to tell people what's going to happen to them, most treat her like she's crazy - even after she saves their lives. But meddling with the future has consequences, and Death is not all there is to fear. As Evelyn races to find a way to save the new transfer student from being murdered, a voice starts whispering in her ear. Someone or something lurks in the shadows. Watching. Waiting. Trying to get close using mind games and tricks. It knows about her powers. It knows she can change Fate - and it's not alone. ------------------------------------------- This book is written in Australian English and uses British style grammar.

In the enchanting world of Lyra Shadowdusk, nothing came easily. Life had taught her valuable lessons, and she had learned them the hard way. Concealing her true identity from her closest friends was a necessity, a secret burden she carried in the depths of her being. Each day, she wore a mask of normalcy, carefully guarding the truth that lay dormant within her. But the battle within her heart was the true test. Lyra's emotions waged a relentless war, their intensity echoing through the very fibers of her being. She yearned for connection, for the solace of companionship. Yet, the weight of her hidden identity, like an anchor, held her back. Every step forward was a delicate dance between longing and restraint, leaving her heart tangled in a web of conflicting desires. And so, with a heavy heart, Lyra chose to depart. She ventured into the great unknown, seeking respite from the whirlwind of emotions that threatened to consume her. Years passed, the hands of time unforgiving in their steady march. And yet, even in the midst of her journey, she discovered that escaping the clutches of the past was an illusion, a fleeting hope born from desperate yearning. The realization struck her like a bolt of lightning, illuminating the darkest corners of her soul. One could not simply run from their past; it clung to them, like a haunting melody that refused to fade away. The scars of yesterday remained etched upon her spirit, demanding acknowledgment and resolution. Lyra had no choice but to face her history, to confront the shadows that whispered hauntingly in her wake. And thus, the hardest chapter of her life unfolded before her. It required courage beyond measure, a tenacity to unearth buried secrets and confront the demons that had long held sway over her existence.
