When Rosemary inherits her grandmother's sprawling, ancient manor in a small, isolated town, she views it as a fresh start. Her life in the city was falling apart-relationships shattered, career derailed-so moving to Cedar Hollow, where her family has deep roots, seemed like the perfect opportunity to rebuild. But as soon as she steps into the cold, creaking halls of the manor, she realizes something is wrong. The townspeople act strangely around her, and the manor itself feels as though it is watching her, waiting for something. Worse still, Rosemary begins to experience unnerving phenomena that defy logic. At night, or during moments of absolute quiet, time within the manor and the town seems to freeze. In these unnerving moments of silence, subtle but disturbing changes occur: objects move, rooms shift, and people-even the town itself-are different. And no one seems to notice. It's as if their memories have been altered, as though reality itself is unraveling. Rosemary struggles to distinguish between the present and echoes of the past as her grip on reality begins to fray. The once-familiar town shifts around her, residents disappear or seem to become different people overnight, and the house whispers dark secrets in the dead of night. Rosemary must unravel the truth about the silence before it consumes her, the town, and everything she knows. In Silence, time twists, memories are manipulated, and no one is who they seem in a haunting tale of isolation, family secrets, and the terrifying power of the unknown.

After surviving a tragic accident that took her father's life, sixteen-year-old Emma is forced to move to a quiet little town with her grieving mother. The town is picture-perfect-too perfect. But beneath the surface, something is deeply wrong. Their new house is unsettling. The air feels cold. The nights are too quiet. And Emma can't shake the feeling that something-or someone-is watching her. Her mother, once grieving, is suddenly... too happy. The townspeople are welcoming-too welcoming. And the house? It whispers to her. Tells her things she shouldn't know. But no one will listen. As Emma unravels the town's secrets, she realizes she was never meant to leave. And if she doesn't escape soon, she might not be Emma anymore.
