Silent Desire

She's spent years hiding from the past. He's spent his life running from it. Now the spirits want them both.
Estelle Mays has a secret-one etched into her skin by the Shadowwood itself. As a rare human Rootwaked, she can feel the emotions and desires of everyone around her, a gift that's more curse than blessing. So she stays hidden, safe in her forest cottage, far from the chaos of Midcity.
Until the boy with no name bleeds into her life.
Raven is quiet, guarded, and dangerous-everything Estelle should push away. But something in him is broken, and something in her can't help but reach for it. What begins as reluctant trust becomes something more, even as secrets unravel around them. Because Raven is tied to the very people who would destroy her-and neither of them can outrun the storm that's coming.
As city and forest edge toward destruction, Estelle and Raven will have to decide: cling to the past that shaped them, or fight for a future they might still choose.
