Silent Inferno | b. barnes
"Keys are proof that even locks believe in freedom." -Unknown
...
Alice D'Voux. An aspiring young artist with a dark past. She's lived the majority of her life in silence-partly by choice, partly out of survival. Haunted by tragedy, she carries her words in her hands instead of her voice. Therapy, routine, distraction...none of it can quiet the fire burning steadily underneath her skin.
By a chance occurrence-or maybe the Universe's way of throwing a curve ball-she meets the last person you'd expect to see in a mental health clinic if they weren't dragged there.
James "Bucky" Barnes. A man who has spent the better part of a century running from fire-memories from his time as the Winter Soldier, blood-soaked hands, and the truth that redemption is a lock he doesn't feel worthy enough to pick.
Neither of them are looking for connection. But when Bucky's path crosses with Alice's, they both see a reflection that they can't ignore: scars, survival, and a fight to believe in freedom.
What starts as a chance encounter quickly turns dangerous as shadows from both of their pasts begin moving once more, and Alice and Bucky are thrown headfirst back in a world they thought they'd left behind long ago.
Because in a world set on forging monsters, survival may come down to one impossible choice:
remain locked in silence-or burn everything to the ground.
